Mercedes-Benz G-Class – the off-road legend with refreshed powers in 2016

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.

40 years of the BMW Art Car collection – when BMW becomes a painting canvas

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.

Bike Balls – bike light for cyclists with eggs

Those of you who regularly ride your bike in the city are all too aware of your vulnerability in the company of many indifferent drivers and drivers who pay more attention to their phones than to what is happening around them. The Bike Balls Team wanted to change that, but in a fun way. For their bike light, you also need to have some balls, because the Bike Balls light is, as the name suggests, in the shape of a scrotum. It dangles from under the seat and mimics the scene of a man's crotch in a very explicit way.

Nevana Designs wraps the Aston Martin DBS in glow-in-the-dark paint

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.

The Sprintbeemer motorcycle - the king among "drag fairy tales"

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.

BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage – a concept in memory of its famous and timeless predecessor

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.

With the Linka smart lock, you will never be part of the #kickstarter stolen bike statistics

In 2014, the police in Slovenia recorded as many as 2,682 missing bicycles, and the actual number of stolen bicycles is much higher, as not everyone reports the theft. The possibility of a thief working and a bad and cheap lock (for example, a thin knitting needle) is almost the same for a thief today as leaving a bicycle unlocked. Thus, you have a high probability of becoming part of the black statistics. But not with the fixed Linka smart lock, which "recruits" money on Kickstarter. Also equipped with a siren, it attaches to the bicycle frame and is connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth technology.

JBL Smart ForTwo – the smallest concert hall on wheels

There's nothing like the pleasure of driving down an empty highway with the music cranked all the way. Now imagine that you can raise the volume up to a "concert" 150 decibels. This is what you will get in the very different Daimler two-seater Smart ForTwo, which has joined forces with the audio equipment manufacturer JBL, whose equipment is appropriately called the world's smallest concert hall on wheels.

The new Chevrolet Camaro – a "pony" that adults want

Although the Chevrolet Camara is a car with a cult status beyond the pond, it is also increasingly becoming a symbol of the "American dream" in Europe. The "Pony" car of the seventh generation Camaro is faster, easier to control and lighter than its predecessor from 2010, which was a real hit. It sits on the new Alpha platform, borrowed from the Cadillac ATS and CTS, but otherwise has more in common with it than with its older brother.

Wavekat P70 - a watercraft that drives like a car

You can think of a jet ski, you can think of a boat. But why learn to drive a new watercraft when you already know how to drive one? The Wavekat P70 watercraft is operated like a car, as it uses the same steering system (steering wheel) and pedals. The steering and speed control is exactly the same as in a car, except that instead of asphalt, the surface of water flows under your feet.
