The Weird and Wonderful Paris Motor Show

We have previously talked about the great line-up for the Paris Motor Show 2012, but this time we want to talk about the more weird and wonderful selection of vehicles on show.

The Land Rover Defender is being displayed at the show, but this Land Rover has a twist, it is the Battle-Scarred Bond Defender that features in the new James Bond film Skyfall, which is due for release later this month. The film Skyfall has also been provided with Range Rovers and Jaguar XJs for use on and off camera. Being in a Bond film is one of the coolest things you can do, so we give a thumbs up to the Land Rover Defender!

Also Featuring at the Show is the Venturi “High Voltage Buggy”. The High Voltage buggy is an electric two-seat that has been designed around the Fetish, the concept for the Fetish was first shown around 10 years ago. The Buggy is capable of reaching 60mph in about 5 seconds. Sales of the Buggy opened at the Paris show, with the starting price around £239,000, expected delivery would be late in 2013.

 

The Wallyscar Izis is a low costing utilitarian 4x4. The Tunisian company are planning to release an electric version of the Izis that will have a 65 mile range. The price for the Izis is set to be around £9,500.

The Paris Motor Show is hosting a range of weird, beautiful and powerful vehicles. But which one do you think should hold the top spot? Out of the stranger bunch we personally like the Battle-Scarred Bond Defender, its super cool and super practical, oh and did we mention James Bond!? What more can you ask for in a vehicle?

Venturi America Preview, Images Wallpaper

Manufacturer of electric cars from Monaco demonstrated electric buggy, which, according to the creators, giving the driver more freedom than any other electric vehicle in the world.

America has no doors, no roof, allowing rightfully call it buggy, but the designers prefer to rank the car to the tribe of crossovers. Although the drive is only a Venturi back. At the heart of the machine design is carbon-fiber monocoque, which is designed to protect not only passengers, but also batteries.

Strictly speaking, the serial America is virtually no different from the concept car of the same name two years ago. The same design, the same electric VM300-400 with 300 liters. a., the same battery capacity of 54 kWh. Monegasque state that a single charge can travel up to 300 km, but these numbers are real, but if you move with a constant speed of 90 km / h

Fully charging the car takes 10 hours from home network, and 4 hours of rapid charging stations. The maximum speed of the car is 200 km / h Acceleration to 100 km / h is not disclosed, but it is known that the driver can choose between three driving modes: Cruise, Sport and Super Sport.

Venturi America will produce a plant in Sable, in the department of Sarthe. But work on individualization of each car will be already in Monaco, at the headquarters of the company. Only 100 cars will be produced, the price of which has also not been named. But one can hardly expect it to be lower than the $ 600,000 that the sports car is Fetish, which America has borrowed the engine and transmission.
