One Lap of the Web: KERS, Klass and autonomous cars

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

We spend a lot of time on the Internet -- pretty much whenever we're not driving, writing about or working on cars. Since there's more out there than we'd ever be able to cover, here's our daily digest of car stuff on the Web you may not otherwise have heard about.

-- KERS, the kinetic-energy-recovery system, was first seen in Formula One a few years back. But now it's starting to make its way into production cars like the new McLaren P1 that officially broke cover at the Geneva Motor Show. Here the folks at motorward.com show how KERS works.

-- Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Berlinetta photos. If you need to know more, you're on the wrong site.

-- For fans of vintage drag racing, we have quite possibly the biggest time suck ever discovered: George Klass Remembers may be the simplest site we've seen in years that's also worth burning an entire lunch hour for.

-- The Detroit Free Press interviews Michigan governor Rick Snyder discussing driverless cars, claiming they'll make the roads safer. Even if you're not a Michigan resident, keep in mind the number of auto executives here in Detroit hearing that message...

-- Hooniverse wants to know your thoughts on the most tragic automotive "almost was" vehicles. History is littered with coulda-been cars. Which do you most wish could have become reality?
