Infamous tuner Brabus has turned their eye towards the all-electric Tesla Roadster, tweaking the car’s exterior for a more sinister appeal. Aside from the matte-white paint scheme, the company installed a custom carbon fiber front lip and rear diffuser and swapped the stock wheels and tires for more aggressive bits. Here’s the really nifty bit. [...]

Looks that way. In a segment on CNBC, Phil LeBeau evidently got a good look at a handful of the company’s special projects, including a very Tesla-esque EV. How similar is the car to the Southern California plug-in? We don’t know what kind of electric motors this thing is running, but it’s body is sourced [...]

Did you happen to catch the Bob Lutz interview on the Colbert Report recently? The GM Vice President of Global Product Development (how do they fit that on a business card?) stopped by to tout the company’s new wonder child, the Chevrolet Volt. We like to think of ourselves as a bunch of open-minded guys [...]

Well OK — here’s your Chevy Volt with a bunch of dudes standing in front of it. And by “dudes” we mean Bob Lutz and friends. According to our very in the know source (wink wink), these pics went live on the GM Media site by accident and The Car Connection went ahead and ran [...]

And not to the press or the public. We find that kind of odd, as a little greenwashing goes a long way these days. Never the less, we have absolutely no other information about what these cars look like or how they work (our guess — electricity) other than co-President Jim Press’s statements. “Fuel cells [...]

When I saw this initially on Gizmodo, I just about plotzed. All around incredible man, Daniel Deutsch, has put together an astonishing functional version of Luke Skywalker’s whip. Made from fiberglass on a custom aluminum frame, the Landspeeder rolls (pity hover technology wasn’t available) up to 25 miles per hour on its electric motor. Deutsch [...]

So says Autoblog Sam. And he would know. Or he would at least know Daryl Siry’s cell phone number. In fact, the first time I met Sam he was with Siry (Tesla’s Marketing Director) and in a Tesla Roadster. So when Jalopnik saw the Autocar.uk article they ran with it, cause they can’t get Mr. [...]

The gents at the UK’s CAR magazine have taken Nissan’s EV mule - wearing Cube clothing - for a major test drive. And they’ve got good news to report. First, they say the 24 Li Ion batteries can match Nissan’s 3.5 liter VQ V6 for torque. Even better, it’s utterly silent and can give an [...]

Mitsubishi is handing over a fleet of their electric i MiEVs for testing by Southern California Edison. SCE is putting the four-door through its infamous prototype testing, including evaluating longevity of the pint-sized Mitsu’s batteries. Though Mitsubishi has partnered with over seven other companies during the production of their EV, increased demand for alternative fuel [...]

You know the drill by now. College teams from around the world build kinda slick, kinda dorky looking racers powered entirely by the sun and race ‘em around the American Southwest for fame and glory (and some sort of financial incentive). This year things are a little different, as the teams will be heading due [...]
