In celebration of our partnership with BBC’s Top Gear show and the Detroit Auto Show which is taking place about 30 miles from the Pulse2 headquarters, I have decided to compile a list of 20 of the geekiest cars that I have seen on the Internet.

20. If The Little Mermaid had a car, then this would be it.
This car was on display at the Burnaby’s Hats off Day Show and Shine in Vancouver. Some people are calling it the hippie cousin of Herbie. There is a fountain on the hood and it is covered in many things related to nature. I’d classify the owner of this vehicle as a “green geek.” Here is a video tour of the Beetle.

19. Organ Car
I don’t know what kind of car was used here originally, but some nerd actually had the time to strip out the original parts and put together a car that can play an organ while you’re driving.

18. Space Invaders Vehicle
Another classic video game lands on a car.

17. The Halo Warthog Vehicle
Unfortunately you won’t be able to shoot at the Master Chief with this hog, but its the closest Halo vehicle I have seen making it to reality.

16. Mad Max V8
The Mad Max V8 Interceptor (Ford Falcon XB GT) was spotted on Google Street View in New South Wales, Australia.

15. Digg License Plate
Kevin Rose is the man and all, but a Digg license plate on a yellow Volkswagen bug deserves to be labeled as one of the geekiest cars on the Internet.

Automotive company Subaru is launching a new line of electric cars in Japan next month called the Stella.  The Stella mini car is the first electric car to be brought to the market in this decade.  The Subaru Stella EV stores electricity in the lithium ion battery pack which powers a 47 kilowatt motor.

The top speed of the car is 62MPH and the range of the vehicle is 56 mils.  The recharge time is 15 minutes at a charging station.  The charge time is 5 hours on a 200 volt AC outlet.  Subaru plans on selling 170 of these cars between July until March 2010.  The price of the vehicle is 4,725,000 yen (about $49,000).  Buyers will get a $14,300 rebate from the Japanese government for purchasing a Stella.
