Chicago Auto Show: The Volvo XC70 SR Surf Rescue Vehicle, For When Hof Isn't Sober

Somehow we missed this XC70 SR at the SEMA show last year, overwhelmed as we were with things covered in pink carbon fiber. Unless you've passed out due to blood loss from a shark attack, you'll notice the five-inch lift and 20-inch wheels. While the XC70 SR sports the ubiquitous (on concept trucks) LED lightbar, it also features a unique and attractive set of blue strobes integrated into the fog light assembly, the mirrors and the rear light clusters. With scuba tanks, oxygen tanks, a first aid kit and a resuscitator box integrated into the rear cargo, it's all you need to save drowning tourists. We like it, but we're a little disappointed that the lifeguards won't be forced to make slow motion runs into strong headwinds in order to save us.

Flying Car, Sort of: First X-Hawk Could Be Ready By 2009

It sure is tough to find flying-car news these days. (C'mon, Moller, we are you shipping?) But the Seattle Times comes through with a profile on Rafi Yoeli, the Israeli conceptualist behind the X-Hawk urban rescue vehicle, which broached our radar range back in 2004. Apparently, Yoeli's gotten a basic prototype to rise three feet, and says a marketable version could be in play by 2010, with a price tag of $1.5 million. Not quite the Volkswagen Beetle of flying cars, but any progress is good progress. – Mike Spinelli More »

Spy Photos: 2007 Jeep Rescue

A new Jeep production model based on the Rescue concept, shown at last year's Detroit Auto Show, made a recent debut in lensshot of a spy photog's rig. The four-door version of the Wrangler is the first in the line to feature a new, heavy-duty architecture, on which Jeep will build a new two-door model and likely a pickup. This model is obviously smaller than the H2-sized Rescue concept, though it appears to be a pretty faithful representation of the prototype in styling. (That's what we love about DaimlerChrysler — two-thirds less teasing than competing brands.) Gossipy types say the Rescue could have a Hemi option. More »
