Tesla Model S


 The Tesla Model S is a full-sized electric sedan in development by Tesla Motors.  The dashboard of this car instead of just having actual buttons it comes with a huge touch screen. Imagine an iPad but at a much larger scale. 0-60 in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph its a fairly fast for an electric car. Starting at around 50 grand its a great deal. The entry level Tesla S has a 160 mile range per charge. For an additional $10,000 for a Tesla S with a 230 mile range. For around 20 thousand more you can get one with 300 miles per charge. When the car enters the production stage in 2012 I have a feeling that there will be a long wait to get your hands on one.

Flying Car












Are you sick of your long commute to work? Do want to cut your commute time by more then half? In the near future there may be a car that can do all of this. A flying car. Sci-Fi movies have depicted flying cars for decades so its about time that they become a reality.

 There is now a company that's making it all a reality. The company goes by the name of Terrafugia. It is based out of Massachusetts. Terrafugia was founded in 2006. The founder graduated from MIT so he knows what hes doing. They have been designing and testing a flying car called the Transition. The Transition has foldable wings and is also street legal. Although its no Porsche the Transition can go 65 on streets, so it can keep up with people on the highway. Really who cares about how fast it goes because IT FLYS! The Transition is due to come out next year. For a low $200,000 you can fly yourself to work.
