Hybrid Cars Honda Insight Body Kit – The Vehicles of Tomorrow
Being green on the road may be the best thing for the environment but it comes at a cost, the cost of driving an ordinary looking car. However there is an answer in the form of after market body kits by Exlusive Zeus. The new generation Honda Insight can be kitted to look like a sports car with the comfort of knowing that it will not contribute to harming our environment. Aggressive styling of the body kit is realized with its many ventilation holes and color coding creating a flowing aesthetic that is attractive. The four piece kit comes in front spoiler, front grill, side skirts and rear under spoiler that can be bolted on to the factory vehicle. Painted or unpainted options are available with price reductions for the latter.
Want to by a car that runs on water? Well, this might have sounded funny a few years back, but not anymore. To beat the growing menace of air pollution, scientists have really developed cars that use 100% water as fuel. And what’s more, these cars might possibly be the vehicles of the future, in a time when gasoline and diesel powered cars will be rendered obsolete and relegated to museums.
Cars running on alternate sources of energy are the latest fad in the automobile world. In fact, scientists have developed cars that run not only on water but also on other non-conventional sources of energy such as electricity, solar power, bio-diesel, ethanol and LPG. This is a necessity, considering the depleting stocks of fossil fuels and the rising pollution levels in the world. In this article, we take a quick look at the various pros and cons of cars powered by alternate energy sources.
Till date, the most popular form of alternate energy that has been used to power cars is electricity. Cars like Toyota Prius and Honda Insight can operate using both electricity and gasoline. These cars, labelled as hybrids, contain an electric motor in addition to the regular one, giving the rider a choice of power source. Compared to other cars, the hybrids are more environment friendly, and are also cheap to run. Hybrid electric vehicles contain batteries which may be charged using a standard electrical plug at home.
The use of LPG and CNG has also been promoted by various governments in the recent years to cut down on the emission of greenhouse gases. Cars powered by CNG are extremely fuel-efficient, and produce very low levels of emission. It is possible to convert a conventional petrol engine in a CNG compatible one by using a simple Hybrid Conversion Kit, thus giving petrol car owners a chance to cut down on emission levels.
Besides these, a lot of research has been done in the recent years in developing cars that run on solar power and bio-diesel. While the former typically harvests energy from the sun using solar panels on its body, the latter uses fuels derived from natural, renewable sources of energy such as plants and vegetable oils. Astrolab, designed by the French transportation futurists Venturi, is the world’s first commercially available solar-powered car. Solar powered cars have zero-emission levels and are ideal carriers for a pollution-free world. However, the development of the solar car is still in its nascent stages and we are yet to have a solar-powered heavy vehicle on the roads. On the other hand, cars running on bio-fuel are easier to make, but their popularity has been checked due to the limited availability of bio-fuels.
The water powered car is also one of the possible solutions that scientists have come up to meet the challenges of growing air-pollution. This car uses the technique of electrolysis to split water into Oxygen and Hydrogen, thus generating the required power in the process. Although a totally pollution-free vehicle, the water-powered car is expensive to make, and research is still on to make the car commercially viable.
What is promising however, is the tremendous amount of interest that hybrid cars have generated among people all over the world. With depleting oil stocks and rising fuel prices, vigorous R&D is being conducted in developing automobiles that run on alternate forms of energy. The increase in air-pollution and the Greenhouse effect has also contributed to the search for a non-polluting, cost-effective car. In fact, we are not very far away from the day when the perfect green car will be a reality for consumers. Hybrid cars are indeed the vehicles of tomorrow and they are here to stay.

SEMA 2010: Bisimoto Honda CR-Z is a 533-horsepower madhouse
The team from Bisimoto has taken to curing the Honda CR-Z hybrid of its anemia by prescribing massive doses of forced induction. The stock 1.5-liter four-cylinder was extracted and rebuilt using Arias pistons and a Bisimoto valvetrain, but the star of the show is that massive billet Turbonetics turbo. It shoves ample amounts of air through a 70-millimeter custom throttle body at a rate that has to rival most jet engines. The whole kit and caboodle is good for a staggering 533 horsepower, which helps explain why a car that started life with a 0-60 mph time of 10 seconds now requires a parachute to reduce its inertia.
Is this proof positive that the CR-Z has the kind of tunability that made the CRX legendary, or simply an example of cash conquering all handicaps?
SEMA 2010: Honda brings a surplus of custom CR-Zs
Honda has a grand total of 12 different CR-Zs on display at this year's SEMA show. In addition to the Mugen and Hybrid R we showed you earlier, the Japanese automaker has created the CR-Z with Genuine Honda Accessories and HPD CR-Z Racer, and eight other companies have put their spins on the compact hybrid hatch.
Big name companies like Bisimoto Engineering, DSO Eyewear, Eibach Springs, Fortune Motorsports and Konig Wheels have created their own one-off CR-Zs, accounting for a little less than half of Honda's overall showing. Two special project CR-Zs are on hand, as well, done up by the folks from Honda Tuning Magazine and the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Physically, the CR-Z This has similarities with the CR-X and see the name used, may be a CR-Z is a continuation of the CR-X. But in reality, the actual CR-Z is an improved version of the Honda Insight was released as a hybrid car. Honda himself never gave a confirmation of this and prefer to call this as the CR-Z stands for Compact Renaissance Zero.
Honda CR-Z

Questions of safety features, six airbags and antilock brakes fruit obviously means that compulsory
Anomaly occurs at the Honda CR-Z. Hybird positioned as a sports car, the buyer of this car was older than originally predicted, as revealed from the sales data released by the Japanese media.
Usually sports car buyers are in the age range 20-30 years. But the CR-Z show its potential as the first sports car that can reach above 40 years of consumer interests. They are very interested in the concept hybrid sports car.
And the sales figures for this age group is very large, even reported up to ten times more than originally forecast. This indicates the enormity of the Japanese consumer support for the Green Sports Car movement.
Honda records, show the buyer the man in the age range 40 years to dominate up to 35%, while men who are in the age of 20 only 15% yearly.
