L.P.R.D Hot Wheels to race across any terrain


Fantabulous would be the word to describe the Forge which is definitely the combination of fantastic design and fabulous features. Termed as the Land Proa Race Design or the L.P.R.D for shot, this three wheeler is real hot wheels to race across any terrain. With an elegantly designed, super strong body and an engine that is powered by electricity and hydrogen fuel cells, this racer is environmentally green and stylishly red-hot! It comes loaded with remarkable abilities and is definitely a futuristic vehicle. The electric motor is powered by batteries that are recharged as the Forge rips across the landscape at top speeds. The hydrogen-fuel cells, with their zero pollution and useful exhaust - water - provide added thrust to this racer.
L.P.R.D.
There is an underlying logic in designing the racer with three wheels instead of four. Any object with four base supports - be it a table, a stand or a vehicle - is less stable compared to one with three (and that is why we see tripods and no quadripods!). The three solid wheels promise stability and balance on any kind of terrain. The wheels can be changed as per the needs. You can fit spikes for desert riding and flats for the highways. In snowy and icy terrain, skis get fitted to the outside wheels without hindering racing in any way.


The L.P.R.D comes along with a support craft which is itself capable of touching 180 mph at top speed. This support craft is actually an airship and it can take off and land via a vertical movement. It has a skirting like that of a hovercraft which makes it an amphibious vehicle for short bursts. It can definitely land anywhere! All the communications and controls lie within the racer. However, it would be interesting to see how the aircraft gets packed with the racer.
The wheel motors could be disengaged to activate the kite sail from the forward winch of the racer. That would be a real help to pull yourself out of 'deep' trouble and impassable and impossible terrain. The wheels are those which would go on a dragster and they are built to withstand burnouts.
