Silbervogel Gravity Racing Car Concept: Would this really work though?

Silbervogel Gravity Racing Car Concept

When it comes to concepts I am all for technology but always come up with the same question “why are concepts just that “concepts” and never reality. Anyway the latest concept car is the Silbervogel Gravity Racing Car Concept which runs on gravity.

The Silbervogel Gravity Car has no engine which is great because that means a green way of life, so a good start we say. The person racing this automobile will solely rely on gravity to pick up speed which come on will gain and lose speed, would it not?

This whole concept idea is from Jakob Hirzel from the Pforzheim University Of Applied Sciences in Germany.

    Not quite a soapbox racer, and by the way the Boyscouts do have anything to do with soapbox, The cub scout have pinewood derby tiny cars made from blocks of wood. Try searching through this web link, racecarfan and jonwalker.
