Concept Ice Vehicle’ from Lotus is built to withstand temperatures as low as -72C, travel up to 84mph and still be kind to the environment.
The innovative ice buggy, which will be used in a bid to trek 3,000 miles across Antarctica, runs on biofuel. The adapted supercharged BMW 1150 motorcycle engine gives off around 70 per cent less greenhouse emissions compared with ordinary petrol. Antarctica remains one of the world’s great mysteries. The CIV will track a path to the South Pole for two explorers who want to highlight the importance of the ice caps to planet Earth. It has a radar that lets it detect dangerous crevasses under the ice and weighs just 350kg allowing the crew to pull it by hand over bumpy.From(www.ubidosadu.net)
