The BMW Compact Sedan is a cute compact sedan concept that the Bavarians presented at the Chinese show in Guangzhou, and is based on the same platform as the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer minivan. The small sedan with four doors will have all the features of a larger and more expensive sedan on the driver's side, and the design style, interior and materials are mixed according to the recipe of a new generation of buyers, especially in China, and in Europe BMW is merely balancing the situation with the predecessor of the 1 Series sedan. segment of vehicles where Audi A3 Sedan and Mercedes CLA are already competing for customers.
Self-driving cars are becoming a reality (proof is Volvo) and we are not far from the times when the driving test will become a museum piece of paper. These types of cars are slowly but steadily making their way to the forefront, so the question is no longer whether we will drive in them in the future or not, but what passengers will do while driving in such cars. Volvo offered us a fantastic insight into this with its extraordinary interior concept, called Concept 26.
The new Fiat 124 Spider is a two-seater sports car for which Fiat "jumped into bed" with Mazda. The accessible sexy curve roadster found its spiritual inspiration from its famous predecessor, and its architectural and technical inspiration from the legendary Mazda MX-5. It boasts an eye-catching shell of its own and will continue Fiat's story of cars with no top. We love the new Fiat 124 Spider, how about you?

The Airbus H160 is the helicopter of the future, the result of a collaboration between the car brand Peugeot and the aviation brand Airbus Helicopters. The helicopter, for which the design was contributed by Peugeot or its special department Peugeot Design Lab, and manufactured by Airbus, swallowed a billion euros in the creation phase (but the operating costs are 20 percent lower compared to competitors)! It was presented to the public for the first time at the Heli-Expo event in Orlando, and this civilian helicopter spread its wings for the first time at an air show in Dubai.
The Ono Bikes Arhont electro electric bike comes from Belgrade and, by its appearance, it would rather be classified as a motorcycle or chopper rather than a bicycle. Its shape strongly resembles the famous Harley-Davidson. Of course, it is far from reaching the speed of the iconic motorcycle, but the 7 kilowatt electric motor still gives it a lot of power. With this bike you will definitely be the main star in town.
Brabus presented the Mercedes 700 Coupé in Dubai, a tuning version of the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupé. He came up with two programs, one version more brutal and more irrational than the other. Every octane enthusiast's eyes will light up next to it, especially since, despite the fact that it is a suva, it can easily compete with much sportier steel horses. Brabus seems to have outdone themselves with the Mercedes 700 Coupé.
LM3D Swim is the first printed car intended for mass production. Most of its parts were contributed by a 3D printer. 3D printers (which allow the rapid creation of a physical model based on a computer model) are becoming more and more popular, and their utility is expanding like a balloon. But the fact that we will be printing cars with them already in 2015 seemed a bit too optimistic anyway. But Local Motors pleasantly surprised us and presented the electric car LM3D Swim, which you will be able to drive already in 2017.
The Fenyr Supersport is a new exotic supercar from the prestigious Lebanese brand W Motors, which in three years has launched itself from complete obscurity into the stratosphere of supercars. After the exceptional and exclusive model Lykan Hypersport, which "accumulated" the brand's fame, they are now presenting another prestigious monster, the Fenyr Supersport, which is a little less exclusive. If the Lykan Hypersport was limited to seven units, which were sold for 3.4 million US dollars, the Fenyr Supersport is slightly more attainable (if the first was reserved for the oligarchs, the second is for everyone obscenely rich), since every year they will make 25 units priced at $1.85 million.
The Opel Astra Sports Tourer is the new Opel Astra station wagon, which has kept the same dimensions as the previous station wagon, so the driver gets 2.5 centimeters more headroom, and the rear passengers get 2.8 centimeters more legroom. In addition to the passenger cabin, the trunk also grew by 40 liters. Just like the new Opel Astra, Opel is betting a lot on its station wagon derivative, the new Astro Sports Tourer, which will come in handy for the hatchback in pursuit of the Rüsselsheim-based brand's sales goals.
The Range Rover Evoque Convertible has been teased since 2012, and after years of market testing, it will go into mass production in mid-2016. The very first compact premium SUV without a roof arch and cosmetic defects will be available in more than 170 countries, in a limited edition. The topless Evoque Convertible hits showrooms in mid-2016.
The Nissan Juke is a basic eye-catcher, and to mark the 5th birthday of this bestseller, Nissan and British artist Owen Gildersleeve have created a life-size origami Juke. The artist drew inspiration from the car design process, which begins when ideas are put on paper. Something similar was done by Lexus some time ago, which made the IS driving car out of cardboard. Unfortunately, the Nissan Juke is not driveable, but it is no less attractive. It is made from as many as 2000 sheets of paper!
