	AutoSpeed - Revisited: The GM Concept Cars
		Back in the 70's, it became apparent to General Motors that their Corvette Stingray would have to be replaced after almost twenty years in production on the same chassis.
		For the 1973 Paris motor show, an XP-882 chassis was repowered with an experimental four rotor Wankel engine, which looked very promising until it was cancelled due to concerns about the rotary engine's typically poor fuel economy with an impending oil crisis just on the horizon.
		Developed jointly by General Motors Design Center and Research Laboratories, the Ultralite concept was created to be the ultimate test-platform for fuel economy.

		Although the Ultralite looks like a tame commuter car of the future, it is actually a design study in how to extract performace and economy from the same utilitarian package.
		The Ultralite combined incredible fuel efficiency (80 miles per gallon) and stirring performance (0-60 in less than 8-seconds) in a stiff, aerodynamic carbon-fiber chassis.
		Another remarkable feature of the Ultralite is its modular rear "power pod." The pod contains the engine, transmission and electronic automatic leveling system; but surprisingly, considering the integrated nature of the chassis, the pod can be removed with relative ease.

	American Chronicle: 100 Miles Per Gallon? That’s So “1992”
		In order to get a better idea of what General Motors has been doing for the last 25 years, it is important to first learn about another amazing vehicle: The GM TPC.
		While Honda was leading the world with the Civic VX in 1992 (achieving 50 miles-per-gallon) the USA- owned General Motors was producing 100 MPG vehicles behind the scenes, all the while selling 20 MPG vehicles to the public.
		General Motors had the chance to be the world leader in fuel economy, which it turned down to be the world leader in SUVs.

	Scaled Composites: Ultralight GM show car
		The Advanced Engineering Staff of General Motors designed a technology demonstration vehicle called the Ultralite, an automobile with interior room capable of seating four full size adults, and with excellent visibility, handling, performance, emissions and fuel consumption.
		The Ultralite did not have the benefit of a "B" pillar to aid in the overall structural stiffness; it was deleted to allow easy access to both the front and rear seats.
		The Ultralite program conclusively demonstrated Scaled's unique structural design capabilities, stringent weight control, and rapid response characteristics, as well as its ability to work well as a team under a very tight schedule, with the largest corporation in the world.

		Fossil fuels are generally classified as nonrenewable sources of energy, as is nuclear energy which is an important source of power in the developed world.
		The source of geothermal energy that we generally think of first is the decay of radioactive elements within the core of the earth.
		Wind generated electricity could be used to charge batteries, pump water uphill for later hydropower generation, or to generate hydrogen fuel.

	Welcome to EyesOn.org
		The surprise may be in gaining a better understanding of the passion and creativity behind Jordan who first won a sectional award for building scale models in 7th grade and then went on to pioneer 43 years of design leadership with General Motors.
		He impressed the GM Styling team which was under the direction of Harley Earl and accepted an offer to join the GM Styling team upon his graduation in 1949 as a junior designer.
		Jordan has influenced the designs of numerous vehicle programs including the first-ever concept minivan in the early 1950s and a series of handsome and successful vehicles in the early 1990s including the GM Ultralite, the new Camero/Firebird, the 1992 Cadillac STS and Eldorado, the Sting Ray III and the Oldsmobile Aurora.
