Translogic 173: Spira Foam Car

  • Name a car that can drive into a body or body of water without causing much harm? No, this isn't an automotive riddle. It's the vision of Doug Ballard and his Spira foam car. This 3-wheeled electric vehicle is designed with pedestrian safety in mind, but an unintended benefit of Spira's foam construction is that the car can actually float on water. We chat with Doug and take the all-electric Spira foam car for a spin.

We've got a particularly luxurious helping of Autoblog Video Brunch for you this week. Mixed in with our 38 original videos from the last seven days are a whole bunch of Short Cuts showing off the many upper-tax-bracket features of the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600. But that's only one of the awesome cars we've been driving this week.

You'll also find quick videos of a host of other new cars, including the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4 and G-Wagen (in G550 spec), Chrysler 200, Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, Audi S5 and Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. We even check in on two of our long-term cars, the Subaru WRX and recently added, new-for-2015 Nissan Murano.

That's not all, of course. This week, Translogic checked out the Spira foam car, and AutoblogGreen editor-in-chief Sebastian Blanco slept in the back of a Tesla Model S (yes, really).

So, pour a fresh mimosa into your silver champagne flute, and have your butler gently place a fine plate of eggs onto your Maybach's tray table. The Video Brunch is served.
