Transparent Roadster

March 11, 2007

The eXasis, it’s made from high-tech plastics and is almost entirely transparent. The eXasis has open wheels, a cigar-shaped body with fore and aft tandem seating, and has elements of the legendary Auto Union race cars from the first half of the last century combined with a modern Baja-1000 off-road vehicle.

The engine is a compact and powerful two-cylinder supercharged 750cc unit that develops 150hp and 150Nm of twist. Environmentally friendly bioethanol is used to power it, keeping in tradition with earlier eco-friendly Rinspeed vehicles. With a projected vehicle weight of just 750 kilograms thanks to plastic lightweight construction each horsepower has to account for just five kilograms - on a level with a Porsche. The six-speed roadster can hit 100km/h in just 4.8s all the way to a top speed of 210km/h.

Bells and Whistles update

March 10, 2007

First, don’t forget to “spring forward” tonight.

I got rid of the “snap” option which would display links in that little bubble. I found it too annoying.

Added “One Year Ago” on the right side bar. This function will show posts made one year ago. I thought that would be interesting to see what was the topic back then. Also might rekindle some old debates
