M2 Sky Car
Moller International was founded in 1983 as a spin-off of Moller Corporation to continue to design, develop, manufacture and market personal vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (VTOL). The company has developed and integrated the disparate technologies required for small, powered-lift VTOL aircraft.
These include electronic stabilization and control systems, efficient ducted fan designs, thrust vectoring mechanisms and aerodynamically stable composite airframe structures. The single most significant spin-off technology is the Rotapower engine, a Wankel rotary engine. This engine is now produced and marketed by Freedom Motors.
2006 Caresto V8 Speedster
Leif Tufvesson is one of Sweden’s most skilled specialist car constructors, with many of his cars having received serious international acclaim. The hottest of them all right now is the new Caresto V8 Speedster, a mid-engined car with an ethanol powered Volvo V8 unit. With the advent of the V8 Speedster, the term Sport Rod has been born. The car will be given its premiere public outing at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.
Ultimate Impreza WRX
The Fuji Heavy Industries mob’s tweaked specials invariably come with suffixes that use up most of the alphabet, and the newcomer doesn’t disappoint it’s known as the Impreza WRX STi Spec C Type RA-R. Just 300 examples of the latest hottie are destined for showrooms, but before you start reaching for that chequebook, alas the RA-R is a Japan-only model. It’s a bit of a shame really.
2006 Murtaya
The 2006 Murtaya by Adrenaline Motorsports of Cornwall was launched as a kit car this month. With underpinnings from the 1993-2000 Subaru Impreza and featuring AWD powered by a turbo flat four in various states of tune from 150 to 395 bhp this lightweight (between 850 & 925 kg dependent on spec) can easily be encouraged to sprint to 62mph in sub three second times.
1991 Lotec C1000
Originally conceived in 1994 with construction completed in 1995 by a United Arab Emirates Citizen who desired to own the fastest, individually owned car in the world. He contracted Mercedes which in turn also contacted Lotec for the body design. The letter C stands for the carbon fiber (race car), and the number 1000 stands for 1000 horsepower.
