If we've learned anything from the ongoing influence of steroids and other performance enhancing substances on the world of modern athletics, it's that human achievement alone is not enough. To be the best, an athlete needs a little something extra.

Anyone else reminded of Batman? Hi-tech super suit meant to enhance athletic performance. If it was black, coated in Kevlar and had pockets to fill with gadgets there would be a huge geek market.

The car start-up developed a light-weight passenger car with outstanding aerodynamics. The Loremo LS is powered by a 2 cylinder Turbo Diesel engine with 20 hp and 160km/h top speed. The amazing thing is that the Loremo only needs 1.5l per 100km. This is approx. 157MPG! The Toyota Prius hybrid has only 55MPG (combined city and highway). With one tank (20l) you could drive 1,300km.
