Examine efforts to cut vehicle pollution, see what goes into designing a winning racer in the 21st century, and discover a futuristic car with an unlikely name—from an unlikely source. Automotive milestones featured in this program include: the Hydrogen 7-Series sedan, which puts BMW ahead of the game in hybrid production, although it still can’t match a gas-powered car in performance; Britain’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation, which sets green goals for the year 2010; and a carbon-fiber-and-Kevlar-bodied two-seater V8 surprise called the Redback Spyder, from Australia’s Carbontech—better known for their Lamborghini Countach replicas. Part of the Auto Innovations: The Art and Science of Car Engineering Series of 13 videos.
