Reviews

  • Samsung Blue Earth

    Treehuggers can now rejoice as Samsung has finally revealed details about its Blue Earth mobile phone; a handset with a solar charging panel over the battery.

  • Gran Turismo 5

    We know now that it's scheduled for release in Japan in March 2010, so we headed down to creator Kazunori Yamauchi's offices to have a chat about what we can expect from his new baby.

  • Audi R8 Spyder

    Predictably, the R8 convertible is a good looking car with V10 muscle to match. We weren't expecting seatbelt-mounted microphones though.

  • Lexus IS250C Prestige (2009)

    Featuring a folding metal hard-top, the IS250C converts from closed coupe to al fresco cruiser in around 20 seconds. Shame then that it suffers from an ungainly butt.

  • Mitsubishi i MiEV

    Tall, lanky and cute as a bean, the Mitsubishi i MiEV seems to be a practical electric car for city driving. Shame it's only here for feasibility studies, not to mention lots of gawking.

  • Subaru Stella EV

    It's taken a while, but Subaru's Stella EV will soon go on sale in Japan. With a limited 90km range, its trump card is a fast charging time — 15 minutes for an 80 per cent fill up from a quick charge point.

  • Volkswagen Passat Ling Yu fuel cell

    Don't let the plain Jane clothing fool you, there's impressive powertrain technology hiding in this Passat that emits only water as exhaust.

  • evMe

    The day when we whirr around silently in our electric cars is closer than we think, if the evMe is any indication. All that's needed is for battery prices to collapse, or a sweet boatload of Kevin07 cash.
