What's the coolest car tech you've seen?
 
What innovation from a manufacturer made you just say "wow, that's ingenious!" Or it's just super innovative, never been done before or this application is perfect for it.

To me, the new Ford GT takes all my wows...

-The exhaust in the middle looks like jet fighter after burners and can basically be called that.
-The taillights and the hole in the middle is actually an outlet for hot air from the intercoolers and wastegates.
-The rear spoiler is functional, going up and down for more downforce and assist with braking.
-The wings going from the wheel fenders to the roof are actually the air intakes for the engine and also function to divert more air to the rear spoiler.

What have you seen that made you go "wow"?

They're not the first one to do after burner exhaust tips ;)

Although the Z doesn't have quite the power to match the look :icon17:
And Ford pulls them off beautifully in the center :yum:

:iagree: I thought it was cool before even purchasing, but four years of Z ownership has convinced me that SRM is a bad a$$ feature :driving: I really like that you can turn it ON/OFF.

When Nissan came out with the Quad cab Frontier. They were the first.

Whatever model/brand that came out with a ac unit is my favorite tech. AC is the best invention ever.
Whoever invented the air conditioning should be given a Nobel prize. Thanks Mr. Carrier

The new Koenigsegg has NO transmission. Yes, you read that right.

What the what?!?!

Insane Mode on the new Tesla P85D. First one with the actual word "Insane" on the dash for launch control/Drive mode.

In no order:

  • SRM is sweet, no doubt.
  • The P1's taillights.
  • The 918's exhaust.
  • The speed brake on cars (I think I saw it first on the F1?). Love that thing... That's one feature I want on every car I own.
  • This new fuel rumour by Audi seems pretty crazy...
  • And the digital cluster in many new cars is pretty awesome.
  • At the Phoenix Auto Show I saw Infiniti had the around-view cameras - you could see every direction around the car on the screen. Protecting you from curbing wheels, etc. Must. Have. This.
  • The DCT transmission. :drool: Esp. PDK...

Lol my grandparents had this in their Lexas like 8 years ago. My Dad just bought a Rogue last year and it came in one of the packages. It is a pretty cool feature though :tup:

That's the first time I had seen it (in action). Cam's on the mirrors so you can see the sides, etc. So sweet, as I'm always worried about hitting the curb (even though I'm not even close :icon17:)


I would probably drive with the around-view on all the time, especially on the Z, with it's ginormous mirrors and blind spots.

I still think this is cool.

Actually it's the Regera, a whole new model. The One:1 is still based on the Agera and has a transmission.

Thank you for correcting me... my buddy and I were both wrong. Trying to think of it. And yes, I see now the One:1 has a 7 speed DCT. But the no transmission car looks crazy :tup:
