Sounds like an exotic sports car

The upcoming Geneva Salon will be rich in exotic premieres. After the Ferrari, the other day to present the concept of a hatchback FF, similar to the network premiere of Geneva held another Italian manufacturer of super cars - Pagani. The new Pagani is the brainchild of the fastest car in the brand's history, which may be issued at the peak speed of 370 km / h. The only thing that spoils the product - its name. Agree, Zonda sounds much more harmonious than Huayra.

Length of model - 4605 mm, width - 2036 mm, height - 1169 mm, wheelbase - 2795 mm. His unusual name in honor of the car was an Indian god of wind Huayra, which at the rate he is not inferior. In the engine compartment is a 6.0-liter V12 AMG c two turbochargers power 710 hp and 1000 Nm of torque, which is paired with a 7-speed sequential very light (96 kg) transmission. At the heart of the machine incorporated titanium-carbon fiber chassis, through which the weight of the vehicle does not exceed 1350 kg. The relatively small mass and revving engine provides acceleration from zero to 100 km / h in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 370 new km / h.

The body is made of carbon fiber and has the best aerodynamic performance. Additional stability is provided on the road with four electrically adjustable air inlets, which are themselves open throttle and improve downforce as needed. Doors Zonda's successor made in the style "gull wing" and open up.

Interior Pagani Huayra, stuffed with lots of electronics, like the cockpit. It is reported that the car is the latest generation multimedia system with touch screen, bluetooth-module. The decoration is used expensive high-quality leather upholstery, aluminum, carbon fiber.

Well, the most important thing. Online Pagani Huayra will end at the price of 1.368 million dollars.

Fully self-contained combat drone X-47B

Of course, not very much like to believe that science fiction writers and directors of war films with human robots are right, but the problem is that their gloomy prophecies come true gradually. Currently under development one of the machines that will fight future John Connor. We are talking about combat unmanned aircraft X-47B.

We are talking about combat unmanned aircraft X-47B.

Despite the fact that such machines are usually called unmanned, in fact, a pilot is present, although it would be truer to call it by the operator. The operator may be halfway around the world, but part of making the machine itself can not fulfill. The most important innovation in a model of X-47B is its high degree of autonomy. This means that the UAV itself carries off, paving the route to the target, striking her own, returned to base and landed.

This means that the UAV itself carries off, paving the route to the target, striking her own, returned to base and landed.

And the only thing that remains the man - machine programmed to indicate the approximate flight plan and setting the target. This was confirmed by a top manager of Northrop Grumman, Karl Johnson (Carl Johnson): «It is self-performs all calculations and decide what to do next." One can only hope that the algorithms are robust, and none of the X-47B does not go mad and do not declare their goal of "all men." And, frankly speaking, all possible and impossible autonomous vehicles on the order of hitting the target should always be given exclusively by the operator. The machine should not make decisions about the destruction of man, even if you specify the target.

Massager uPixie

Long hours spent at the computer, can cause not only headaches, but pain in the neck, shoulders, waist and other body parts. Therefore, to not look like a question mark after the end of the day at the office or home gatherings such as in any MMO, OSIM has been developed by the USB device uPixie.

New product very easy to use. Simply connect it to the USB port, and special pads fasten around the neck, back, and so on. The device operates on the principle of electrical muscle stimulation. To get the massage portion now you do not even need to move away from your computer or laptop. uPixie can be programmed to several types of massage.

The cost of this massager is $ 170.

BMW Tandem - Concept Car by Simone Madella

Simone Madella’s BMW Tandem is the latest in a trend of concept autos that take inspiration from motorcycles, mixing some of the advantages of both to create a futuristic, adrenaline pumping, and unique vehicle. The Tandem is powered by the same 193 HP engine found in the BMW S1000rr motorcycle. The moto-inspiration can also be seen in its sporty yet light exterior styling and, of course, the tandem seating in the cockpit.

Concept Opel RAK e studio from Kiska

Concept Opel RAK e was introduced in September 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This electric car, 100 kilometers of which will cost the owner just 1 euro. It weighs 3 times less than conventional compact car and accelerates to 120 km / h in less than 13 seconds.
It weighs 3 times less than conventional compact car and accelerates to 120 km / h in less than 13 seconds.
 
The concept was made KISKA studio in collaboration with Opel. It is named in honor of the record car RAK 2 rocket engine, on which Fritz von Opel in 1928, clocked up to 228 km / h. RAK e conceived as a "radical design that would meet the needs of budget-conscious young people looking for a suitable transport for the city."

Working on the concept of RAK, KISKA and Opel used a new approach to design. For example, the exterior and interior have been designed in a single process, with many years of experience in designing KISKA motorcycle, car and work with lightweight materials. Space frame made of steel, plastic outer panels. Takako design for RAK high level of safety, affordability and low weight. The developers note that with a minimum expenditure of energy, this concept is a logical continuation of the Opel Ampera.

RAK e width of 1.3 meters, length of about 3 meters, height 119 cm interior accommodates 2 people, nestled in tandem scheme. This arrangement allows for optimum aerodynamics and efficiency. Hood, acting as a roof and windshield, provides an overview of 270 degrees. For the convenience of steering wheel input and output is automatically rejected in the way when the hood is open. In this clever hinge ensures that the hood when picked up not too much increases the height of the machine. For very young drivers car can be set to a maximum speed of 45 km / h with low power consumption.

For KISKA concept is a reflection of her 20-year experience in long-term transportation design. Having worked with almost all major manufacturers of motorcycles in 2007 KISKA developed its first four-wheeled car, KTM X-Bow. According to founder Gerald Pussy studio, it was a key moment in the company, which decided to focus on innovative materials and technologies. Now lightweight constructor for the Austrian studio just fancy words, and attitude to work and the only solution for urban mobility of the future.

Electric bus recharged every 2 km

The German company AutoTram tried to create a new passenger vehicle, which would be absorbed in a mobility buses and trams environmental safety. To solve this problem, they had pretty poraskinut brains, but was born a very promising machine, which moves in an electric motor powered by batteries and super-low capacitance, which turned out to be quite enough.

An important advantage of small batteries are not only their small size and light weight, but also a small charging. Therefore, in the company of geniuses AutoTram decided that the bus will have a reserve of only 2 km, it is enough just to get from stop to stop. And during the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers, that is just a couple of minutes of battery life will be completely restored.


The machine does not require deployment of costly infrastructure such as wires for trams and trolleybuses, only charging ports at each stop. The power supply uses a battery with an operating voltage 700 V, the project company is AutoTram together with specialists from the Institute Fraunhofer.
