It somehow seems logical for Tesla to offer home batteries, but it was a little less to be expected from Mercedes-Benz. Thus, Tesla's Powerwall home battery is now joined by a home battery from a car brand owned by the Daimler conglomerate. It will offer batteries with a three-pointed star on the "chest" as early as September 2015. These were also originally developed for Mercedes electric vehicles, but now households will also benefit from them for producing their own electricity from renewable energy sources.

Remember the part in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies when Pierce Brosnan remotely controlled his BMW 7 from the back seat with an Ericsson phone? That was 18 years ago, so we've included a clip from the movie below to help you remember. Apparently, this impressed a young engineer so much that he made it his life's mission to work his way through hard work and dedication to a position where Bond's toy will be translated into reality. His dream came true at Land Rover.
Summer is already well upon us. It is important to protect our eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. The choice of the right men should not be neglected, as they are one of the most important fashion items of every summer and every man. We searched for men's fashionable glasses for 2015, which will not leave us indifferent. Here are men's fashion glasses 2015.
Sometimes the modified model deviates so much from the original motorcycle that it becomes practically unrecognizable. This is not the case when it comes to the BMW R80 Indira motorcycle from the Ton-Up workshop, which does not hide its roots, but has enough features to create its own identity. Namely, it has a new fuel tank, shorter front suspension, new seat, smaller handles, headlights, rear light and indicators, a new exhaust and a distinctive black and brown look. The clearly visible BMW engine still beats in it.
The 60th anniversary of the Alpina brand was marked in a very special way, as they presented a prototype - Alpine Célébration. A compact sports coupe with two seats, inspired by the sports tradition of the Alpine brand, with a smooth and refined shape dressed in an intense blue color. The Alpine racing cars with which the brand made its triumphant return to endurance racing in 2013 are dressed in the same blue color, enhanced with orange accessories.
You may think that it is difficult to compile a slightly more extensive list of super sports cars, the price of which is counted in hundreds of thousands, if not millions of euros. Well, not really. The list could easily be much longer, and considering the number of millionaires today, which are historically high, this segment of cars has never been more prosperous. It is therefore more difficult to compile a list of cars that are actually worth their price. We have collected 30 of the best of all time.
"This is for the crazy, for the special, for those who think differently. Some people see fools, we see geniuses.'' That's one of Steve Jobs' quotes, which we dedicate this time to the special ones among the cars that we found under the category of 'Other Makes' on the eBay website. It's a fascinating mix of exotic cars, cars from obscure brands, and we've picked seven of the most repulsive.
The new BMW 7 Series is always a milestone in the automotive industry, as it embraces technological progress and the ever-innovative technologies of the future. Those that we mere mortals will experience in our vehicles as part of the standard equipment only in a few years. If you will, the presentation of the new "seven" is at least as important as the transfer of the new generation of Apple's iPhone. BMW promises that the new 7 Series redefines the exclusive, luxury driving experience in a modern and pioneering form. This is the new BMW 7 Series.
Think of all the dream cars you can own and you get just an approximation of The Pinnacle Portfolio, a collection of cars the world has never seen. In it we find the Ferrari Enzo, which was given to Pope John Paul II as a gift, the very first Bugatti Veyron produced and the Saleen S7 from the movie Iron Man. But this is only the tip of the iceberg of the cars that were auctioned at RM Sotheby's.
The concern Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has presented the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo virtual racing car, which we will be able to get to know in more detail in the game Gran Turismo 6. For good measure, they have prepared as many as three versions of this hybrid supercar with a centrally located drive train. The concept is the result of an internal competition on the topic of "super sportsman 2035". The image was taken care of by Paul Hoste, otherwise a big fan of the game.
The Mini Cooper S is a legendary representative of a type of car that seems to be dying out in the flood of similar products. It is a car cult that is hard to miss if you are a fan of motoring. A car that you have to have once in your life. The Mini Cooper S, i.e. the most "wild" Mini with the S designation in the current 4th generation, also comes with a rear pair of doors and is thus more friendly to urban mothers. Although we believe that some hot-blooded daddy will also sit in it.
Most people would consider this a crime, but if you're photographer Fabian Oefner, you're allowed to spray paint a Ferrari too. Otherwise, as we have already seen with BMW and their Art Car collection, many things are allowed in the name of art. The Italian manufacturer of luxury sports cars allowed a Swiss photographer to direct jets of UV paint at their brand new Ferrari California T. And damn if the car doesn't look even better!
