  • B7- flying together in same theme - Aviation. This is a hybrid vehicle designed for the road pilot. It is powered by four brush-less wheel hub motors charged by a LPG V8 engine via Super-capacitors. The car is a two seater, in-line, with pilot and co-pilot just like in a jet fighter. 
    The B7's State of the art electronic speed control system manages everything from independent hub-motor drive and ABS braking, to adaptive wing angle adjustment. It is a  true drive-by-wire car, with no traditional mechanical drive connections. High tech, light weight, extremely fast and agile - this design pushes the boundaries of on-road vehicle performance, and burns the way for HYBRID TECHNOLOGY.
