yeah i didn't like the hole limit thing, i want to see the full power but you need to be 25.
I have looked into the whole speedo thing too. its alot of frigging effort to get it to work as every street sign needs to have a sender and most probably a power supply, so i doubt it will ever come about, what does it do when it doesn't receive a signal???? I am sure that oh my speedo said i should do 100kms lol

Concept cars are a crack up. They hardly prove anything! I am still waiting for some of the concept cars from the 70s to come out................. 
The accountants must be stopping them all from getting made.

If it went up before the judge it'd be swept under the carpet just like what happened with the speed guns that could read a tree doing over the speed limit.
Mind you the idea with the key card thing is already in use, look at BMW for starters. Electric drivers seat, tilt steering programmed onto the key fob.

Image recognition??? it isn't like it is hard to read a big number inside a red circle!
Realt time image processing is a reality!

Lots of countries have satelite navigation... could come in useful here... speed limits could be included in the informaion just like street names etc, that would be pretty cool

While at it's heart it's just an AWD camry with a turbo, it's the extra additions that make it interesting. (But the big wheels and the illegal blue lights make it a dead giveaway that kids had a hand in it).
Anyways, the speedo thing would be fixed easily with sat-nav. Gotta wonder why they didn't think of that in the first place. It would avoid one helluva logistics nightmare.
The little flip compartment on the bonnet was probably the best idea.
And yea, this thing is what? Two years old now?

Mmmmm chevy impala mmmmm  about the only reason why that thing didn't have lift off was because of the massive stink bug stance which was giving it some down force.

I guess its lucky they didn't come round to my school and ask me and my mates about a car design, it would have featured:
Rear wheel drive
Tight LSD
Computer chip that enhances engine power the younger u r.
brake Bias switch, all front or all rear
Huge sound sys... and...
Yeah its probably good that those geeks that didn't know wat a car was helped design that heap.
