Description

I wanted to make something I never did before... a car. I learned the hard way that making a car is not as easy as I thought, especially an original design, but I kept trying until it looked half decent, and I know there is still plenty of room for improvement. I modeled it in XSI and rendered it in Bryce. My goal was not to make a flashy, trendy car, but one that's functional and practical. The Nimos Ektron M1 has the following features: 1: Four electric motors can propel the car 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds if needed. 2: It gives you 60 miles per dollar under normal driving, and a range of 250 miles on full charge. 3: Power is supplied by battery packs in the front, and under the trunk. 4: Batteries can be quick-charged via power cord, but also continuously slow-charge via the solar cell array integrated into the roof. If you become stranded with no power, simply leave the car in a sunny spot for a few hours and you are good for at least another 30 miles. 5: Batteries can be upgraded to newer ones as they become available. 6: The two-seat version has enough trunk space to sleep two adults. The 4-seat 4-door version is also available. 7: Pollution and CO2 emissions are zero. 8: It's four-wheel drive, naturally!
