At the consumer electronics fair CES 2016, Volkswagen presented the Budd-e electric van, which with its design recalls the legendary Bulli.

As a serial model, it should come to life in 2019.
California-based Faraday Future unveiled its first car at the CES 2016, the Faraday Future FFZero1 concept, which certainly caught the attention of Bruce Wayne as it resembles a futuristic Batmobile. Otherwise, the 1,000-horsepower beast will never be released from the cage (read: it will remain just a concept), since the electric car is not intended for series production. It is "just" a demonstration of what a company that develops electric mobility solutions is capable of, and what we can hope for in the near future.
A velomobile is a foot-powered vehicle. It is an auto bike, fully enclosed and therefore usable in almost all weather conditions.

In the following, we present to you some models that we can already meet on the street and that do not come from domestic garages.

The Jaguar F-pace is the first SUV of the British brand, which the British say is a more practical sports car.
