Citroën Survolt
The Citroën Survolt (later known as the DS Survolt) is a concept electric racing car produced by Citroën and presented at the 2010 Frankfurt Motor Show. Overview The Survolt is a full-sized racing car based on the earlier electric concept car Citroën Revolte presented at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Because the car runs on batteries, it is classed as a zero-emissions vehicle. Design The Survolt is long, wide and high and features a design with the front dominated by the vehicle's badge located above the large oval-shaped grille. The car has horizontal LED headlamps which have lower power consumption than traditional filament bulbs — important in a battery-operated vehicle. At the back, the Survolt maintains the light cluster design used on the REVOLTe, and has a spoiler to increase rear downforce. An Art Car based on the Survolt has been designed with the collaboration of Françoise Nielly in 2011. Engine and drivetrain The Survolt is powered by a pair of ele ...

Racetrack
A race track (racetrack, racing track or racing circuit) is a facility built for racing of vehicles, athletes, or animals (e.g. horse racing or greyhound racing). A race track also may feature grandstands or concourses. Race tracks are also used in the study of animal locomotion. A ''racetrack'' is a permanent facility or building. ''Racecourse'' is an alternate term for a horse racing track, found in countries such as the United Kingdom, India, Australia, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates. Race tracks built for bicycles are known as ''velodromes''. ''Circuit'' is a common alternate term for race track, given the circuit configuration of most race tracks, allowing races to occur over several laps. Some race tracks may also be known as ''speedways'', or ''raceways''. A ''race course'', as opposed to a ''racecourse'', is a nonpermanent track for sports, particularly road running, water sports, road racing, or rallying. Many sports usually held on race tracks also can occur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
