Kia Sidewinder Concept
Back in the year 2006 The Los Angeles Auto Show hosted a design contest, which would combine performance and technology to create an exciting new concept vehicle. One of the more riveting submissions came from Kia North America and artist Marc Mainville, named Sidewinder.
Kia’s Sidewinder was a natural-gas powered racer engineered for drifting competitions (LA has the first licensed American Drifting event). Sidewinder’s powerful natural gas turbine supplies electricity to separate in-wheel, high torque electronic motors. Hopefully one day we will see just what Vin Diesel can do with it.
I would like to say this is the nicest sport car i’ve seen. Very future looking. GREAT JOB !
I understand that it has a very low electric mileage range with the technology in the market place today. I would like to meet with the enginers to show them what i have done to increase this problum. and make electric vehicial travel much farther between recharging. I know it works. Becouse i have a protype setting in my garage.It started out as a theory and became more than i exspected. After President Obama speach at edison factory today. 3-19-09 It’s time my idea is made reality.
