Range anxiety is surely among the leading reasons why people don’t buy electric vehicles. Fear of driving their electric vehicles far away from their homes only to discover that they’ve run out of charge and cannot make it back has warded off thousands buyers. People also fear of getting stuck in traffic on an electric vehicle. Run the air conditioner for long and you’d be left stranded. For [...]

I remember my first HotWheels set and the crazy fun I had with it. It even had a loop in the track where the car used to go complete upside down. Sadly the product that we have for you today provides no such excitement whatsoever. The Autobahn Tape Kit and Race Car from Donkey Products is (and there is no other way to put it) a 180meters long Duck tape designed to look like a highway and Car that [...]

The JV between Daimler and Renault is finally kicking into action with news coming from France that the third generation Twingo will be based on the Smart ForFour. This platform (currently under development) promises to be a ‘breath of fresh air’ for both the companies. What is even more radical is that the Twingo will lose its front wheeled drive for a rear wheel drive. This is the exact opposite [...]

Back in the sixties, British Ministry of Technology thought of making long journeys more comfortable by introducing seven buses which were quite literally theaters on road. Strangely, no one really liked them and they disappeared as fast as they appeared. And now the old saying that ‘History repeats itself’ has struck again. Some sixties nerds have refurbished the last example of those busses. [...]

Everyone has played with lego blocks in their childhood. We have created sky scrapers, parks and other such structures. But some of us have the habit to think out of the box….way outside. A lego fan (who we presume is also a petrolhead) has created a life size car out of legos. What’s more fascinating is that you can actually drive it!
