EVs are back in Revenge of the Electric Car

Revenge of the Electric Car, by writer/director Chris Paine, follows General Motors' Bob Lutz, Nissan's Carlos Ghosn, Tesla's Elon Musk and backyard inventor Greg "Gadget" Abbott from 2007 to 2010, when their respective companies were getting in (or returning) to the electric-car game. Paine also wrote and directed the contentious 2006 documentary Who Killed the Electric Car? That film followed the GM EV1 electric vehicle from buyer's hands to the junkyard when the company controversially collected and destroyed them all.

CCS- American Iron and Steel Institute Challenge 2005

Transportation Design students from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit recently presented projects done in conjunction with the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). Three students were selected from the college to complete an internship: Chris Piscitelli, Sylvian Bryan and Sang Hoon Shin. They took on the challenge to design a 'functional, innovative and extreme-inspired vehicle that integrates environmental responsibility, cost efficiency and advanced steel materials.' Aside from the peripheral criteria, it is the 'extreme' theme that sticks, the brief satisfyingly encouraging students to really provoke with their imaginations.With the Challenge now in its 17th year, AISI puts its considerable resources to good use, Piscitelli, Bryan and Shin each receiving much support during their internship program, which includes producing scale models of their designs.

Audi A5 ‘Suicide’ Advert – Fake

The Audi A5 Suicide Avert has been dubbed a fake by Audi of America Doing the ‘Viral’ rounds over the last few days on the interweb has been a video for the Audi A5 ‘Clean Diesel’ which really didn’t seem to fit in to the non-contentious Audi mainstream ethos we are used to seeing. A carefully crafted image can easily be decimated by one careless word or deed (Gerald Ronson springs to mind) and, amusing though some of us with a sicker sense of humour found the A5 ad, we couldn’t see how Audi would sanction it – even just for online use. The advert features a man driving an Audi A5 in to a deserted car park.
