Even 35 years later, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class remains the concept of a luxury and powerful SUV. A living legend is probably even more popular today than ever before. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz recently revealed a bunch of innovations that the series will experience. Once again, the exterior was left almost untouched, because "why fix something that's not broken", as the Americans would say, so the big changes took place under the shell, where all the latest achievements of the Bavarian engineers are hidden.

It all started in 1975 when Alexander Calder did something unheard of. At the request of racer and art lover Herve Poulain, he painted the BMW 3.0 CSL model that competed in the 24-hour Le Mans race. With this, he began to write a very special chapter in BMW history, as the 3.0 CSL is considered the first car of the BMW Art Car collection, which still fascinates art and car lovers 40 years later. On this occasion, BMW collected all 17 such cars in a pile, which are the work of 16 artists who walked the Caldera route. Among them is Andy Warhol.
Milan-based design house Zagato has unveiled its latest one-of-a-kind creation, the Zagato Maserati Mostro, which has a reason why it's called a monster.

As if the Aston Martin DBS was not attractive and eye-catching enough by itself, one of this year's participants in the prestigious Gumball Race 3000 wanted the revolutionary Starpath coating for it. Hamish Scott's company Nevana Designs, the inventor of Starpath paint, the world's first paint that absorbs UV rays during the day and uses the collected energy to glow in the dark, made his wish come true.
Low, long and aerodynamic - three necessary features for a drag bike, a motorcycle for acceleration competitions. All three can be found on the Sprintbeemer assembled at Lucky Cat Garage. The French team built it around a modified BMW R50/2 engine chassis and is powered by BMW's R100RS reciprocating engine. They drank it all the way at Edelweiss Motorsport, and added a nitro (NOS) drive for a little more flight.
With the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage concept study, the Bavarians pay homage to their famous predecessor from the 70s. In the case of the modern version of the CSL, which stands for "Coupé Sport Leichtbau" or "coupe, sport and light construction", the latter features are the justification instead of aluminum - together with the Plexiglas, it reduced the weight of the original model by around 200 kg compared to version 3.0 CS - used carbon fiber. These are considered the "aluminum of the 21st century" when it comes to shedding car weight.
The Kawasaki H2R is officially the fastest production motorcycle in the world, as its engine produces an incredible 300 horses.

The answer to the eternal question?! Motorcycle or car?

Since 1999, the Dodge Viper has had a bigger and "badder" brother, the American Club Racer aka ACR, which walks the thin line of legal (ie street racing) with its monstrous machine. What you have before you is not only the most extreme Viper your eyes have ever laid eyes on, the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is one of the most extreme cars in general. Although it can be driven on normal roads, it is made for racetracks. What betrays him? Just look at the giant rear wings. At 285 km/h it creates one ton of downforce!
