There are quite a few three-wheelers these days: Aptera, Myers Motors and ZAP! Motors. And while those companies seem to be blocked from government funding, it isn’t stopping designers like 22-year-old Alex Hodge from New Zealand from churning out kickass mods like the Hawk.

The Hawk concept is part fighter jet, part sports car, and looks like it’s balls-out fun! The concept is built around the 999cc Honda RC51 V-twin engine has 10,000 rpm, 120 hp and a top speed of 144 mph.It has a fiberglass body with a pod-style cab, comes trimmed in lightweight plastics and leather. And it all rides on 19-inch alloyed wheels equipped with twin rear and front disc brakes. Oh, and did you look at the pictures…it’s freakin hot!

But here’s the half empty, you Batman-a-bes won’t be seeing this concept anytime soon. Sorry. Have to save the mantyhose for another day.

Don't be sick with envy that I drove the entire collection of Audi's S and RS cars — high-performance versions of their small, midsize and full-size sedans. Be sick that nine or 10 other writers sent RSVPs for this one-day event and didn't show up. Sick, sick, sick. I mean, where else can you drive four cars totaling 1,645 horsepower and $322,795 in retail price — $6,800 of it gas-guzzler taxes? The inconceivable loss of those no-shows was our gain, though, because there were more cars than drivers, and in a short time I was able to buckle the pavement in the new S4 Cabriolet, the RS4, the S6 and the S8.

I'll start with the S4 Cabriolet with six-speed manual ($54,640 base, $60,785 as equipped).

Cabriolet is not a red wine. That's cabernet. Cabriolet is the French word for convertible, which doesn't explain its popularity among German automakers, but there you have it. Based on the A4 Cabriolet, this version got the same upgrades that turned the A4 sedan into an S4. Compared to the A models on which they're based, all the S cars have more power, a lowered ride height, firmer suspension, bigger tires, a 10 percent faster steering ratio and distinctive interior and exterior elements.

Compared to the A4's 2.0-liter four-cylinder and optional 3.2-liter V-6, the S4's 4.2-liter V-8 is a monster. Audi says its 340 horsepower propels the S4 Cab to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds and covers a quarter mile in 14 seconds. I must say, though, that I was a little surprised by the modest thrust at low speeds — typically not what you get from a big V-8. The specs later confirmed a relatively low torque peak of 302 pounds-feet at 3,500 rpm, which explains the anticipation when launching from a standing start. Also, the Cabriolet is almost 400 pounds heavier than the sedan, and that's a lot. (Audi says the S4 sedan hits 60 mph a half-second faster.) The manual transmission is easy to use, with a telepathic clutch pedal. The shifter does the job, though it's slightly rubbery and imprecise. During downshifts, the accelerator consistently exhibited a lag in response when I blipped it — to raise the engine rpm before letting the clutch out. This is all too common nowadays, but it's particularly bothersome in such a performance-oriented car.

The Cabriolet is as nose-heavy as the sedan, which is not always true of convertibles. This is a drawback when it comes to handling. The Quattro all-wheel drive prevents wheelspin but doesn't do enough to balance the weight in aggressive cornering. In the end, this isn't my favorite S car. The steering is a little too light and numb, and though the brakes stop the car quickly, the pedal is numb and doesn't provide fine enough control. But we're just getting started with these S cars. In the next installment I address the RS4 — which is what you get when engineers look at the S4's shortcomings and set about fixing them...

Audi A4 hybrid dies before it arrives in the U.S.

It was recently learned that Audi has killed plans to bring the Q7 hybrid model to the U.S. market in 2009 because of the plummeting value of the dollar. It looks like the new A4 hybrid will get the same fate.

Audi USA communications director Jeff Kuhlman explained that the cost of homologating the hybrid system on both vehicles would likely not be offset by anticipated sales of the hybrids. As a result of low volumes and the unfavorable exchange rate, the prices would be too high to make business sense. Instead Audi is planning to offer the A4 with the same 3.0l diesel V6 that is to be used in the Q7 and VW Touareg. That engine is already being certified and has economies of scale so that it makes business sense. At the same time it will provide a significant boost in fuel efficiency compared to the gas V6 that is also available.
