Elon Musk runs first test of his car porotype with aluminium chassis at 200km/h

<p>Inventor, engineer, investor and business magnate Elon Musk demonstrated his latest super vehicle prototype driving through a subterranean tunnel network at 200 kilometer per hour speed.</p> <p>In the test run, Elon Musk&rsquo;s car prototype with chassis built out of aluminium, is seen carried by a vessel into the tunnel, where computer controlled sleds on rails catapult it to its destination.</p> <p>Following is the image shared by the CEO and product architect of Tesla Motors on his Instagram page:</p> <p><img style="vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.alcircle.com/uploads/images/ElonMusk.png" alt="News" width="484" height="425" /></p> <p>On the social networking site, Musk puts up a disclaimer saying, &ldquo;Warning, this may cause motion sickness or seizures. This is a test run of our electric sled that would transport cars at 125 mph (200 km/h) through the tunnels, automatically switching from one tunnel to the next. Would mean Westwood to LAX in 5 mins.&rdquo;</p> <p>It appears from the image that the chassis of the car is made from aluminium with the rail visible and tunnel effect accentuated by the overhead lights.</p> <p>{googleAdsense}</p> <p>It could be understood from reports available from reliable sources that large boring machines would create this new infrastructure, which is one of several initiatives pioneered by the South African entrepreneur.</p> <p>Elon Musk has also initiated an ultra-fast, intercontinental rail system in Hyperloop, has set up an entire refuelling infrastructure for his electric cars, and plans to revolutionise freight by replacing filthy diesel trucks with electric ones.</p>
