Race of Champions Portugal 2009

2009, June 7. Race of Champions Portugal 2009.
I must say I was expecting something more, but it was fun nonetheless.

I always thinked that fast electric cars were just plain science fiction. Not anymore! This is a car that takes 4 seconds from 0 to 100 Km/h, can accelerate to 200 Km/h, takes 3,5 hours to charge battery and has an autonomy of almost 400Km. Not bad, not bad at all!
This is, no doubts about, the car of the future.


Sempre pensei que carros eléctricos e rápidos eram pura ficção. Já não! Este é um carro que demora 4 segundos dos 0 aos 100 Km/h, atinge os 200 Km/h, demora 3,5h a carregar a bateria e tem uma autonomia de 400 Km. Nada mau mesmo!
Este é, sem dúvida, o carro do futuro.

Cars moved by water/carros movidos a água?!

Aquygen Demo video

A car moved solely by water? If this is true, it can be THE revolution.
Or it may just be a gossip... or it may become a gossip. Just think about how much would everybody that lives from oil loose, and think about how easy is to "mute" a small company...

Preços dos combustíveis: gasóleo aumenta, gasolina diminui

Why are diesel prices going up by a rate far higher that the gasoline ones?
I challenge anyone to present one valid argument that justifies this gas prices' trend other than "Oh, that's easy: diesel vehicles sales are going up!"
'Cause this is the argument I believe...

Porque é que os preços do gasóleo estão a subir muito mais que os da gasolina?
Desafio quem quiser a apresentar um argumento válido que justifique esta tendência, que não seja "Ah, é fácil: a venda de carros a gasóleo está em alta!"
Porque é este o argumento em que eu acredito...

Geely: automóveis chineses

Um pouco off-topic: Dentro em breve, começaremos a ver os bonitos carrões chineses a calcorrear as nossas estradas. A marca Geely já arranjou um importador interessado (o mesmo da Seat). Os carros serão 30% mais baratos, em média. São extraordinariamente belos. Veja-se aqui. Note-se o "wonderful download"! Supimpa!
