Designed by Michael Luzar, this ultimate off road vehicle concept is named as ‘Neilpryde off-road vehicle’ and has especially been envisioned to give different driving experience for the driver and occupants. As a result, it features a roller-coaster type seating arrangement, where the cabin swings and leans slightly with the driver and occupants when the vehicle is entering corners and driving over hills.
The vehicle has its design elements from the renowned brand Neilpryde, an expert manufacturer of wind surfing, water sport elements and kite surfing. On the other, Neilpryde off-road vehicle has a raised driving position to further enhance this experience and allow for better off-road capabilities. This 4WD vehicle also flaunts double wishbone suspension and integrates special interior and exterior structure that makes it easy to hose down any dirt and mud after driving.

The brain child of TJ Vaninetti, the Ford Xplor concept is an effort by the designer to make the heavy gas-guzzling SUVs soft on the environment. Ford Xplor is an all electric concept designed to run on in-wheel electric motors and features drive-by-wire, accident avoidance system, and a design that surpasses the conventional SUVs as greatest does the least. Also, relocating engines to the wheel hubs has given the designer free rein to the play with the space. As a result, front glass has been extended down to the footwell that gives the passenger better view of the road ahead. Apart from these, the all electric SUV features a unique front bonnet design, reduced mass as well as 33” tires and a full 11” ground clearance, making it ideal safari for off roads and rough terrains.

Electric and hybrid vehicles are ruling the roosts – be it auto shows or otherwise. Joining the race is Schaeffler Grup that has unveiled a hybrid car based on the Opel Corsa. Dubbed the Schaeffler Hybrid, the vehicle is the part of an advance development project that enables a practical comparison of the various options available for mobility to be made.
Schaeffler Hybrid features a volume produced combustion engine from a basic vehicle, a central electric motor and two in-wheel hub motors. The vehicle displays various elements that can be switched on and off, including various vehicle configurations and driving conditions.
The energy store that incorporates a 16 kWh lithium ion battery is charged by means of energy recovery, the range extender as well as via an external power supply (plugin hybrid). The unit has a liquid cooled 50 kW and 95Nm electric motor that was designed and manufactured by Schaeffler subsidiary IDAM. Wheel hub motors were also developed by the Schaeffler Group.
The central unit is flange located to the automated manual transmission by means of a toothed chain and drives the front wheels. The motors that Schaeffler Hybrid is equipped with have an output of around 50 kW each and torque of around 530Nm. The units are also claimed to have appealing torque characteristics as well as a remarkably low noise level.

We recently introduced you to a R/C helicopter with a camera that gives you clear images and videos from the air. And here is another one from Eric Austin, a Texas-based amateur videographer, who modified a hobbyshop helicopter to hold a camera to give close and tight aerial shots. In order to get a more attractive camera angle or better videos that otherwise are missed, Eric hooked Canon 7D DSLR camera to the toy helicopter with a simple tripod style camera screw.
Not only this, but Helicam has been equipped with crash protection gear. The landing grear, covered with a bright pink foam from the “noodles” used in swimming pools, has been built to protect the camera in case of crash or hard landing. The helicopter is remote controlled but one need to adjust the camera setting on the ground. Well, this Helicam may come out to be a handy tool for paparazzo to avoid bruising noses in difficult situations.

The R8, like most mid- or rear-engine designed sports cars, utilises wider roadwheels and tyres on its rear axle. For the 18 inch alloy wheels (on standard summer tyres), there is just one range of sizes - the fronts are sized at 8.5Jx18H2 ET42, whilst the rears are two inches wider at 10.5Jx18H2 ET50. With the 19 inch wheels (standard fit in most markets), the theme continues - the fronts are all 8.5Jx19H2 ET42, and the rears are 11.0Jx19H2 ET50.
