A collection of computer generated renders of automobiles over the web and some of them are so perfectly done that it is quite difficult to differentiate it from the real thing.

13 more pics of realistic computer generated automobiles after the jump.

The Japanese are proud of their trains. And rightly so. Not only was the Japan bullet train—known as the shinkansen—the world’s first truly high speed locomotive, but Japan train travel offers the fastest point to point service of any rail line in the world. Thetrain has been known to reach high speeds to get into the record books, but a bullet train in Japan is constantly fast, not to mention handsome, comfortable, and uniquely Japanese. This reputation as a pioneer of modern transportation has made Japan train travel a way of life. In Japan the journey has truly become as important as the destination.

Trains in Japan are a great option if you want to see the countryside and travel from city to city without paying for airline tickets. So get in, hold on, take a shot of warm sake, and watch as Mt Fuji goes flying by your window.

In a companion article we presented the technology and features of the new Sony TX series. Now we will continue our look at these new laptops with some performance benchmarks.

For TX models in the USA Sony uses a naming convention that begins with TX and ends with P, for example TX670P. This is the model we refer you to through TG Stores. The TX model we evaluate here uses a European naming convention and is called the TX1XP. You will find all of the features of the TX1XP and wireless WAN capability in the TX670P.

Honda has unveiled today at the Geneva Motor Show its “Small Hybrid Concept”, which features a front-wheel drive layout. The sport car is also powered by a small gasoline four-cylinder engine mated with an electric motor and CVT transmission.

The Hybrid Sports Concept is equipped with 165mm tires mounted on distasteful 20in chrome wheels. Their dimension supports low rolling resistance without compromising sporty driving. Modern touches include the rear-facing digital cameras that take the place of conventional door mirrors. It was rumored that this concept could be a precursor to the replacement for the aging Insight hybrid, but judging by these images it’s evident that the car is nowhere near production

Lockheed Martin has been commissioned to design and manufacture the Quiet Supersonic Transport (QSST), a 12-seat private jet that will be able to quietly break the sound barrier. Capable of flying at Mach 1.6—which for the rest of us means 1200mph—that unique ability to sneak through the sound barrier without breaking every window in sight would let it zip from New York to LA in two hours and 15 minutes.

The TGV has opened up many erstwhile isolated parts of France by developing access to the regions and connections between them. Because the high-speed rail network of over 1,500 km (932 miles) directly links many French cities, passengers travelling between them no longer have to go through Paris. Indeed, the TGV is a tool for decentralization in France’s town and country planning policy.

The TGV is also an commercial success : the high-speed network is the main revenue earner for SNCF

Total number of passengers 1.2 billion Number of passengers per day 250,000 Number of TGV stations 250 Total length of high-speed rail network 1,540 kms (963 miles) Speed record (experimental/commercial) 515,3km/h / 320km/h (322 mph / 200 mph)
