Lamborghini Embolado Concept

-

The Lamborghini Embolado Concept is the work of Luca Serafini, an Italian student in the final year of the Industrial Design Course at the University of Parma, Italy. The name of the concept derives from a Spanish festival called named “Embolado Bull” or “Torro Embolado”.


The concept is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo and according to Luca’s declarations the car represents a tribute to the Superleggera : “After the recent launch of the Gallardo Superleggera, in order to make a tribute to it, I have adapted the Embolado Concept basing on the aestethic modifications of the new model, with some post-process in Photoshop.”

The combustion engine burned out! Formula 1 takes the first step towards electric

  Formula One is moving towards hybrid engines and renewable fuel. Major environmental progress or just ‘greenwashing’? Yasir Arafat , Edith Cowan University ; Muhammad Rizwan Azhar , Edith Cowan University , and Waqas Uzair , Edith Cowan University For the millions of fans who tune into every race, Formula One (F1) is more than just a sport – it’s the apex of aerodynamics, skill and strategy. Behind the scenes, a quieter but more crucial race against carbon emissions is unfolding. Given the sport’s substantial carbon footprint , F1 has faced criticism from society and even from its own drivers. For example, Sebastian Vettel, a four-time F1 world champion, expressed his concerns by stating : When I get out of the car, of course I’m thinking as well, ‘is this something that we should do, travel the world, wasting resources?‘ In the pursuit of speed and sustainability, F1 teams committed in 2019 to achieving a net zero emissions goal by 2030. As part of this...

Epic EV to supply Electric DeLorean with composite bodies

-
Image
Filed under: EV/Plug-in , Lightweight , USA The arrangement that has Epic EV supplying the drivetrain for the DMC Electric DeLorean has apparently been working out so well that the two companies have decided to tap yet another of Epic's areas of expertise: composites. Weight management is an important aspect of electric vehicle design and it was realized that DMC could shave 200 pounds off their retro-futuristic product by replacing the old-school fiberglass material that makes up the main part of the chassis with a modern lightweight resin-infused composite. Not only that, but the new stuff is much stronger, which gives the Electric DeLorean better roof crush and side impact protection. Epic, of course, has been using composites in its boats for some time and CEO Chris Anthony learned much about using it in automotive applications while creating the now-dead Aptera (sniff) . While we look forward to seeing more of the modern Electric DeLorean in action, we also can't help w...

Short history of Cadillac

-
Image
Cadillac was born out of the closure of Henry Ford when Henry Ford left with some of his key partners and the company was dissolved.  With the intention of liquidating the company's assets, financiers left over from Ford's departure, William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen, called on engineer Henry M. Leland of the Leland & Faulconer Manufacturing Company to evaluate the plant and equipment before selling them. Instead, Leland convinced them to continue their car manufacturing business by equipping them with a single-cylinder engine designed by Leland.  The company needed a new name after Henry Ford left. On August 22, 1902, the company was renamed the Cadillac Automobile Company. Leland & Faulconer Production and the Cadillac Automobile Company merged in 1905. The Cadillac Automobile Company was named after seventeenth-century French explorer Antoine Laumet de la Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701.  The first Cadillac automobile, The "Cadillac Runabout...

German OEMs pick one electrical charging connector to rule them all

Filed under: EV/Plug-in , Audi , BMW , Mercedes Benz , MINI , Porsche , SMART , Volkswagen , Legislation and Policy , Europe/EU , Daimler One massive sticking point with electric cars is the lack of standards when it comes to plugging in the vehicle. In the 90s, the General Motors EV1 didn't use the same kind of plug as the Toyota RAV4 EV , and that meant electric vehicle charging stations had to keep multiple adapters on hand if they wanted to service to multiple machinery. If there's any hope that EVs will take off in popularity over the next few decades, some standardization is in order. To that end, German manufacturers Audi , BMW , Daimler ( Mercedes-Benz and Smart ), Porsche and Volkswagen have banded together banded together in support of a modular connector system for electric vehicle charging. The consortium's connector system has been submitted for standardization under the designation IEC 62196-2 Type 2 for single- and three-phase charging with alternating c...
