 Our online special report, Cutting Edge Cars, features a collection of vehicles that push the limits of design, speed, and technology. If you think Swedish autos are staid and serious, not fast and furious, read about the Koenigsegg CCX, a performance car that has been clocked at speeds of up to 245 mph. You're not likely to see one on the road or in a showroom, but you can virtually kick the tires in the accompanying slide show.
No carmaker can be considered up-to-date without a big push into hybrid engines. Our report takes a look at French auto maker Peugeot's efforts to develop super-efficient hybrids using a diesel engine rather than a gasoline-powered one. The company, which previewed the Peugeot 307 and Citroen4 at the recent Geneva Auto Show, plans to have these 82-mpg cars for sale by 2010.
If you really want to be on the cutting edge, how about a car that soars over traffic jams? Flying cars have been a dream for 90 years, and our slide show looks at some of the failed attempts, as well as current designs that may be on the market soon.
