Eau Claire, Wisconsin, United States
|
This is the Lightning Electric Car that was featured on the 2009 Hot Rod Power Tour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_EiejWX_S4 and by Pete and Jakes Hot Rod Parts at the Back to 50’s car show in St. Paul, MN. This car is no stranger to the race track either. It has run successful tests at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI and at the Brainerd International Speedway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDEAtmMiz00&feature=plcp This is the first of its’ kind Lightning Electric Car (EV) with styling based on the sprint and indy cars of the 40’s and 50’s. The Lightning chassis features 4-wheel disc brakes, and independent front and rear suspension with cantilevered coil over QA1 shocks and rack and pinion steering in the front, and an independent rear axle with QA1 coil over shocks. This Lightning is powered by a Net Gain 9” DC motor, a 1000 amp Net Gain Industrial Controller, and 13-12 volt FMP deep cycle batteries. With the FMP batteries the Lightning Electric Car will take you up to 40 miles between charges, and recharging takes only about forty cents worth of electricity. Plenty of range for your 10-15 mile commute...and no need for a special charging station. It plugs in to a regular 110 volt outlet. The battery pack is easily upgradable to lithium ion batteries that will increase the range to about 100 miles. The current price for a lithium ion battery pack is around $8,000. Plenty of fun to be had with the $700 FMP battery pack for a couple of years until the cost of the lithium batteries becomes more affordable. The FMP batteries also come with an 18 month free replacement warranty. This Lightning has been driven over 2,200 trouble free miles since May 2012 on about $25 of electricity. Open air muscle car performance and zero emissions. It’s the most fun you can have driving. Make it yours. Price includes delivery to anywhere in Lower 48 Has it's own web page at http://lightningelectriccar.com

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.
10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
