Alex Ion — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:55:28 +0000

Video: WaterCar Python Amphibious Car in Action [World’s Fastest Amphibious Car Impresses, Python’s Price Tag Impresses More]

Road going cars that are capable of taking to the water, thus being amphibious, are nothing new, but what makes the WaterCar Python Amphibious Car particularly impressive (aside from how much it’ll set you back – more on that later) is that it just happens to be the world’s fastest amphibious car in being capable of not only 0-60mph in a mere 4.5 seconds on the road but also being capable of powering you along at some 60mph on the water – thus making other amphibious cars seem decidedly sedate when on the water by comparison.

Ford Sync Version 3.0 [GPS With Bluetooth and MP3 Connectivity]

Piyush — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 08:58:07 +0000

The Ford Sync Version 3.0, essentially a navigation system, is the latest in line from the Sync series. It comes with vastly expanded functionalities at the core of which is Bluetooth capability. When paired with a Bluetooth mobile phone, the Sync 3.0 offers data via the voice channel on almost everything that a traveler would wish to know – traffic conditions, weather, and even business search. The information is made available via the Ford Service Delivery Network.

All Ford models will come equipped with the Sync 3.0 from 2010. Europe will also see the launch of Sync in 10 languages in 2010. For the first three years, car owners can avail the service free of cost. Since the information being offered is present in an external server, new apps can easily be added and Sync-equipped cars can benefit from them. All you need to do is to download an update file from SyncMyRide and add it to the Sync 3.0 device via USB. A drawback of Sync 3.0 is that it does not offer backward compatibility since the earlier versions of Sync did not come pre-installed with a GPS chip.

With the latest release of Sync, Ford plans to take in-car connectivity to a new level – primarily through beamed-in connectivity from a satellite, brought-in connectivity from a cell phone, and built-in connectivity such as on the dashboard.

Dyson Electric Solar Car In Development [Dyson Eco Car – Environmentally Friendly, Probably Yellow, Cleans Roads In Transit?]

Andrew Tingle — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 10:35:11 +0000

Firstly, to put our usual flippancy aside, we should make it clear that there’s no signs that any forthcoming electric car from James ‘whatever I touch turns to gold’ Dyson will in fact clean roads whilst in transit but it is known that Sir Dyson is now working on developing an electric powered ‘eco car’ which will, we can safely assume, probably be made available in yellow.

According to reports, Dyson’s engineers based at Dyson HQ in Wiltshire are already working on development of the new Dyson Eco Car which will be powered by an electric motor based on Dyson’s ever popular range of cyclone vacuum cleaners with roof mounted solar panels serving to top up the juice whilst you’re out and about.
