  2. Pretty sweet "CAVE"... by green+pizza · · Score: 2 · on SDSU Students Create Sporty Hybrid Vehicle

    Not really a CAVE, but the three projectors, curved screen, and the two pipe / 2x8 channel late model deskside Onyx2 makes it a "Reality Center". Not too shabby.

  4. Buy this technology today - it's VW! by jonbrewer · · Score: 3, Informative · on SDSU Students Create Sporty Hybrid Vehicle

    All you looking at the performance and gas milage of this car, have a look at what powers it. Sure there's an electric motor which gives you the fast 0-60, but if you look at the specifications page, you'll notice that all that electricity is powered by a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine.

    This is the 1.2 liter Lupo engine. Without the electric motor it gets 78 miles to the gallon anyway! Now while cars with this engine aren't sold in the US, one can purchase a Golf or Jetta with a slightly larger 1.9 liter TDI which makes 50 MPG, and generates between 90-115 HP. (with a torque peak of 155 lb. ft. @ 1900 rpm) 0-60 is a pathetic 10s, but 0-40 is a phenomenal ~4 seconds, which I find easily leaves a Subaru WRX or a BMW M3 in the dust.

    (Yeah, that's me in my diesel Golf playing "the fast and the furious" on the streets of Boston twice a day.) :-)

    Right next to the picture of a tiny 'high performance' car that probably wouldn't withstand the impact of the cone its steering around is a link entitled 'SDSU College of Engineering suffers a tremendous loss... which details a professor who recently died in an auto accident.
