The MonoTracer is an enclosed motorcycle or “cabin cycle,” a style of vehicle which experiences a lot less drag than your average motorbike and keeps you from having to pick the bugs from between your teeth later. Its aerodynamic design and 130 horsepower engine get the MonoTracer from zero to 60 in about 5.7 seconds, and it has more speed than you’ll ever need, topping out at 155 mph. THIS`S NOT A CONCEPT….THIS IS REAL, MY FRIENDS

The MonoTracer is built by vehicle and engine construction company Peraves, and rolls off the factory floor starting at $82,350. Unless you’re drooling gold right now, you may have to wait for Christmas for this one.

In a show of sheer engineering talent, after the American Tesla Roadster it time to be wooed by Britain’s Lightning GT electric sports car. The prototype of this one is expected to hit the streets by this year end. The Lightning’s power figures read 700 horsepower, and 4 second 0-60mph times rivaling Tesla’s 3.7 seconds. With battery technology advancing so quickly, it’s hard not to be bullish about the prospects of electric motoring as a serious alternative to the combustion engine. The battery has always been the limiting factor with electric vehicles; they’ve traditionally been too heavy, too large, too expensive. They took too long to charge, they didn’t offer a good enough charge range, and some of the better-performing Lithium variants were prone to dangerous overheating spirals that threatened driver and passenger safety.

Lightning GT is an exciting electric car with good looks to match, with nifty regenerative braking; this electric car uses a selection of Nanosafe batteries, by Altairnano. These batteries replace the graphite structures within the traditional lithium-ion cell with nano-engineered titanate materials which are much more effective along several axes. The stronger nanostructures resist breakdown over time far better than graphite, leading to a greatly increased life expectancy of more than 15,000 charge cycles before the cell drops below 85% of its original capacity.

Scion, Toyota’s youth brand, has launched its concept at the New York Auto Show, Hako Coupe concept. At first sight, this car might look like a classic car for you, but the inside is fully futuristic. Designed by Tokyo Design Division, this Hako Coupe Concept was inspired by the American vintage among young Tokyo trendsetters, it is intended to reflect “youth-inspired trends”. As Jack Hollis (Scion vice president) says “Scion’s Hako Coupe Concept embodies a distinct global perspective on today’s youth”.

“This type of forward thinking complements the Scion philosophy of intently listening to our customers and being willing to take risks to help us see where our brand should be. We took the xB’s iconic boxy shape and explored something more vivacious, yet just as emotionally appealing. This concept is the sporty version of a box.”

Inside, the Hako is accented with orange and metallic detailing that exudes a modern environment with entertainment possibilities. The front and rear seats are covered with urethane and rubber-like upholstery for easy cleaning.

The entertainment system consists of two video monitor screens mounted on the dash for radio, video, and music capabilities. Users can upload their videos and music through a Bluetooth connection.
