Mideast Conference | Speakers

This is for the Car Lovers out there. Aaron started of by talking about the concept car and its place in car production, giving the audience a much better understanding of what a concept car is, and what it is for. Things got cool when he presented the Jeep Hurricane concept car.

This thing was designed to be the Ultimate Jeep.
Its got:
- twin Hemi power plants
- zero spin steering (all the wheels can rotate inward 45° to allow the Hurricane to spin around its center
- crab steering (all the wheels can rotate in unison, allowing the Hurricane to move sideways or any other direction
- 700 HP
- A very light frame constructed out of space age materials
This is the Ultimate Jeep. There was one sticky concern, which, thankfully was vocalized during the question and answer period: What's the gas Mileage? Why isn't Jeep pursuing concept cars that are Green?
To their credit, Aaron did show a concept Jeep called the Treo from a few years back that ran on fuel cells. He also admitted that Jeep has no choice but to pursue Green technologies in the future.
