Boy, that's one hot car, that Passat. But is it so hot, in fact, that it self-immolates? The NHTSA seems to think that the ignition coil packs are prone to faults that can lead to fires underhood, in the instrument panel, or underneath the vehicle. Passats from 2000 to 2003 are currently under investigation by the NHTSA after 19 reports of spontaneous Teutonic combustion (hey!). Lucky owners who opted for the frugal TDI or spendy W8 can motor along
I hadn't heard about Armor Electric until their announcement that they will ship two prototypes of an electric powered pedi-cab to Mexico City today for standard certification testing by government engineering labs. There are only tiny pictures of their pedi-cab on their website (see above), but there is a bit more information on the company and this EV deal available there.
There's really nothing else to say here, except that the apparent supremacy of the Suzuki Hayabusa is pretty much cemented in our minds forever after watching the video after the jump. This particular bike's turbocharged, and yes, the numbers on the speedo represent miles per hour. Note the speed at which the front wheel finally comes down. Ridiculous.
