Engineered by the team at Lotus Engineering, the Lotus Ice Vehicle concept was developed to be taken to Antarctica on the Moon Regan TransAntarctic Expedition. It is designed to run on snow and ice, obviously, and sit on three skis, much like a snow mobile. this biofuel-powered, propeller-driven vehicle boasts an ice penetrating radar to detect potentially perilous crevasses. To be able to withstand the harsh polar environment, the Lotus Ice Vehicle has been tested in Sweden. [Autoblog]
