Lotus’ Concept Ice Vehicle – Nice Ice Baby!

If you want to explore the Antarctic, you are already one step closer to madness in my opinion, and may actually enjoy driving along in one of these bizarre Concept Ice Vehicles by Lotus.

The new Concept Ice Vehicle is definately at the top of all adventure junkie’s “must-have” lists, as this gadget-loaded transport device clambers along the icy horizon in all its ice-crunching glory, impressing all the GI Joe “wannabes”. It comes fully equipped with the latest technology, and even Batman and Bond would find it hard to impress us with their gadgets after this baby hits the ice!

Lotus’ design supports a biofuel-powered, propeller-driven vehicle that comes fully equipped with features such as 3 ski feet to move around on and a special spiked foot to grind the powerful machine to a sudden halt, in a hurry, if need be. It’s ice-penetrating radar might come in handy as it detects potential life-threatening flaws in the ice while you step gracefully from ice block to snowy incline back to ice block …

Apparently designed to aid in the Moon Regan TransAntarctic Expedition, at least this monster technological feat will have it’s five minutes of fame, and who knows, perhaps be the beginning of a whole new life in Antarctica?

All in all, a nifty design for all those explorers who have been dying to explore a horizon filled with little other than white snow and white ice and more snow and more ice and, well … you get the picture.
