In a couple days, Fisker will be displaying their advanced aluminum space frame used in their Karma plug-in hybrid sports car at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Built around their Q-Drive hybrid powertrain, the space frame focuses on strength and rigidity to house the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a lithium-ion battery pack, and a rear-mounted 403hp [...]
BMW made the X6, a crossover SUV like thing, and then they gave it the M (i.e. hot rod) treatment. So what would happen if a German tuning (i.e. hot rodding) firm were to give it even more stick? Say hello to the HAMANN TYCOON EVO M.
