Tesla Roadster
A new car company called "Tesla" has developed a completely electric sports car that goes 0-60 miles per hour in four seconds, blowing away the world's current view of electric cars. The Tesla Roadster's stylish body and $100,000 price tag (cheap for an all-electric car) might be just what we need to start making the move to electric cars.

The Hyanide
Students at the 2006 Michelin Challenge developed a concept automobile that combines a motorcycle, ATV, and snowmobile into one. They call it "The Hyanide", named because it looks like a crouching hyena. This futuristic, motorcyle inspired, single-tread device has already led to some working models.
