Another car assembled at gunpoint? Well, almost ...
Here's a treat. A hybrid electric car from Hungary, the country that brought you the Yugo, most definitely one of the 50 worst cars of all time and memorably described in Time magazine as 'something assembled at gunpoint'.

Next generation vehicle architecture or the first LEGO car? You choose.
Just imagine how it would be if you could design your own electric vehicle with all the motor, battery and drive train basics built in. The modular TREXA EV lets you do just that. It provides a low profile base - known in the trade as a 'skateboard' - with all that stuff built in and you just stack whatever you want on top, so not only does it look the way you want, but you get to specify the acceleration, suspension and speed.

The electric car you can take on a train
the release refers to it as a lightweight 'lovebug' ... Steady on, chaps! Just because it has a joystick instead of a steering wheel there's no need for that sort of language.

The electric R8 fantasy - the sexiest electric car concept ever?
Power junkies were agog at the 313 horsepower and the 3,319 lb/ft of torque claimed by the e-tron from its four in-wheel motors. Talk about Fire Up The Quattro!

Peugeot's electric car you can tweet from
The BB1 from Peugeot is still a concept car, but I so want one. It's got the sort of design grotesqueness that only the French can create, but I still want one. Autoblog calls it 'the logical result of a one night stand between a Subaru SVX and a Peel 50,' and I still want one.
