While it has been sometime since our last update, we have been busy behind the scenes of the Blade project. Eric and I have taken many business steps, including renaming the company. Bailey Speed has now become BXR Motors Inc., a simple combination of Eric's and my last name with an "X-treme" edge to it.

With the overwhelming popularity of the car and large amounts of press on the project, we decided to focus on the long term viability of our company. Resources were drying up and we were in need of additional funding. We decided that the best use of our time was to get a business plan and seek investors and sponsors to help fund the Blade project. After diligent research and numerous business meetings, we have chosen to join with Fast Ventures. They will become our strategic advisor for the Blade project. Fast Ventures will help us to achieve our goals and further the success of the project.

Please read our official press release for more information about Fast Ventures.

Fast Ventures Press Release

We are introducing two new concepts based on the current Blade design. Although we are two simple guys building a fast sports car does not mean we are oblivious to our economy and environment. Therefore we are introducing two new concepts, the Blade EVR and HDR. Also we named the current Blade to the Blade XTR. These two new concepts are something that we have wanted to do from the beginning but due to lack of funds and resources we simply focused on the standard internal combustion engine version. Now we with the current economy we are seeing new technology everyday that makes it possible and even affordable to venture into the world of Green Technology.

Don't think for a minute that we are leaving the world of Gas Guzzling hi horsepower super cars. Oh no... The first prototype will still have the 750 horse power engine. We simply realize that we need to also look into alternatives for clean energy vehicles. There is no reason why going green can't be fast and powerful too.

Here are the new models:

Model 1: Blade XTR

• 750HP 5.4L V8 ROUSH Supercharged Engine w/ 6 Speed Transmission
• Simple, Powerful and Fast...

Model 2: Blade EVR - Hybrid

• Front and Rearl Hi-Torque Electric Motors - 300x2 Foot Pounds of Torque each
• 4 Wheel Drive system providing 600 foot pounds of toque from 0 RPMs to 3000RPMs. (Big Block Performance but all Electric)
• Powered by Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries (LiFePO4 - cells), Light Weight, Long lasting, Inexpensive to replace and will not explode or over heat.
• Gas powered 100HP light weight 30kw Generator.

Model 3: Blade HDR

• 600HP 5.4L V8 ROUSH Supercharged w/ 6 Speed Transmission
• Hydrogen on demand injection system.
• 20% Projected fuel savings by injecting hydrogen with standards fuels
• Cleaner burn, higher combustion means cutting emissions down for high horsepower sports cars.

Our primary goal will be to complete the Blade XTR first while also working on the other two models chassis setup and testing the Electric and Hydrogen systems.

PS. We understand the controversy surrounding the Hydrogen (HHO) systems, but we have seen some promising results for Hydrogen where we can see this playing a role in green cars.

Please keep in mind that as well dive into all these various technologies, we may change the current configurations for both the EVR and HDR prototypes depending on new ideas or newly developed resources.

The Blade XTR will remain the same… its rather simple. More Engine, More Gas More Power!!!...

More details coming soon...

We would really like to get your feedback on this project, please feel free to post your comments, suggestions and ideas in our guest book.
