DiMora Natalia - Best Ever CAR?

Everything you ever wanted in a car can finally be yours with the DiMora Natalia. Yes, the car will put to shame Bond's prized wheels, the Bugatti Veyron to dust and Bat Mobile doesn't even figure in the competition.

Aldred DiMora brings to you this latest creation that will blow you off your socks! The DiMora Natalia will feature state-of-the-art technologies like color-changing paint, headlights that double as video projectors, massage seats for rear passengers, four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering, night vision, external cameras, retractable TV screens, lighted Waterford crystal ashtrays, a self-corking wine bottle, wireless computer with WiFi Internet access and temperature-adjusting cup holders. The car even includes a biofeedback system to monitor the driver's vital signs and adjust the drive and internal environment according to his stress-levels.


Spec-wise DiMora Natalia features a 1,200 horsepower V16 engine capable of displacing 14 liters. If you've finished with the drooling, let me tell you that it will be while till this devil hits the road, so feast your eyes on the pictures till then.

Green Bricycles is even cooler than it looks

The idea. A compact reasonably light weight single occupant vehicle.

My solution. A more "Green" alternative to the conventional automobile. A totally enclosed fiberglass monocoque recumbent trike with electric assistI am currently building the prototype out of marine plywood and epoxy, two materials that I am quite familiar with. The planned prototype will have a independent suspension system, disc brakes on all wheels, 21 speeds and have a front mounted 48 volt hub motor.


The weather here is finally breaking and I'll be able to start working in my garage. Over the winter I've completed the nose section and rear fenders. I need to reinforce all the glue joints with fiberglass tape and sheath the shell with light weight fiberglass cloth before painting. The rear suspension is nearly complete and I've finalized the design of the front fork and suspension system. My goal is to be on the street on July 4th.

OK, July 4th has come and gone and I still haven't made it to the street yet. The front suspension is finished, the rear fender have been installed and I'm working on the final peddle drive system and steering. I'll add photos soon.
