Honda Helix
The Honda Helix is a vehicle capable of adapting, evolving, and conforming to user needs anywhere in the world. Using insight gained from the human genome, biotechnology, and environmental forecasting, the Honda Helix will actively and dynamically conform to the user's needs, in environments ranging from the congested skies of Japan, to the wide open roads of America.
The Honda Helix incorporates human DNA with "adaptive polymers that allow changes in the car's shape, color and materials," its creators say.
As the Honda Helix is designed to be a shape shifter, it makes the most of this ability to alter its dimensions to suit its environment. When in town, the car becomes taller and more upright to use less road space and help it navigate tightly congested streets more easily. Hit the motorway and it becomes long and low for speed and stability, while more intertwined urban roads see it shorten its length to make it more agile.

Jaguar XXI " Bionomic Autonomous Limousine" Concept 2010
The Jaguar Mark XXI - Bionomic Autonomous Limousine - is a design study focused on autonomous technologies. Among the features are the moving solar panels inspired by humble leaves. It was designed by Coventry graduate Chris Pollard.Jaguar Mark XXI Concept SketchesThe Jaguar Mark XXI - Bionomic Autonomous Limousine - is a concept that investigates the implications of autonomous technology on automotive design in terms of perception, function and aesthetic.As Chris Pollard explains "Autonomous technology is edging its way into the automotive vehicle with such systems as Lexus’s ‘advanced parking guidance.’ These systems seem to be an indication of a trend for the future."
This concept uses autonomous technology as a design opportunity to innovate the function and aesthetic of the automotive vehicle.The exterior design is inspired by the idea of living in symbiosis with nature.
Jaguar Mark XXI Design Sketches Jaguar Mark XXI Concept ModelA large area of the body is covered in photovoltaic panels.Once the vehicle is parked, photovoltaic surfaces rise to face the sun and follow it as the day passes, contributing to recharging the on-board batteries."This means that half of the car is not in the shadow for most of the day and it can harvest the suns energy in an efficient manner. ""The inspiration for this came from the humble leaf.
The aesthetic of the vehicle aims to immediately clarify the synergy between its energy replenishing function and the natural science from which it takes its inspiration.
Jaguar Mark XXI Concept Interior Sketch Jaguar Mark XXI Interior SketchesThe interior is conceived as a place of leisure and luxury. Inward facing seating creates the setting for a sociable living space. Contemporary laid-back seats mixed with ambient lighting, establishes a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere.
Jaguar Mark XXI Concept Model Jaguar Mark XXI Model"With the task of driving the vehicle alleviated, the purpose of the interior changes. The interior is focused on luxury and pleasure, achieved through interaction with both the vehicle and each other."

Ferrari F430 engine
The F430 is powered by a new 90 degree V8 featuring Ferrari's traditionally uncompromising design approach with a flat-plane crank (180 degrees between throws).
This is an all-new unit that does not share any components with the 360 Modena's engine. The improvement in terms of performance, weight and reduction of overall dimensions is the result of applying Ferrari's wealth of F1 experience to its road cars.Despite a 20% increase in engine displacement (from 3586cc to 4308cc), engine weight has increased minimally (just 4kg), while performance is considerably improved. Torque increases by 25% (343lb.ft at 5250rpm, 80% of which is already available at 3500rpm) and power by 23% (490bhp at 8500rpm).
The engine is extremely compact with a cylinder spacing of just 104mm. Similarly, Ferrari's engineers integrated the sump and main bearings in a single casting which, along with a smaller diameter twin-plate clutch and flywheel, has reduced theengine height between the bottom of the oil sump and the crankshaft to just 130mm (from 145mm on the 360 Modena power unit).

In line with the latest developments in high specific output engines, there are new 4-valve cylinder heads, and the inlet tracts and valve diameters are derived directly from designs used on the F1 engines.The twin overhead camshafts per cylinder bank feature continuously variable timing on both inlet and exhaust cams, and hydraulic tappets drive the valve gear. Actuation of the variable valve timing is guaranteed by a high-pressure hydraulic system (20bar), obtained by using a supplementary pump, an external accumulator and a circuit that works in parallel with the oil circuit for the hydraulic tappets.
This ensures that a full timing cycle is completed in 0.1 seconds. Ferrari has dropped the mixed gear/toothed belt distribution system for a chain-driven system, thus reducing the overall length of the engine. Crankshaft, con rods and pistons are also all new.
Ferrari F430
It offers a better weight distribution of the car, between the front and rear of course. Also it most importantly offers less horsepower loss when transferring that power from the motor, through the drive-train, to the wheels. To elaborate on that, in a front motor/rear wheel drive application, the power the motor creates has to travel a longer distance through the motor to the driveshaft that connects to the rear wheels and in turn spins the wheels. With a mid engine set up it travels a way shorter distance to the rear wheels.
