Ferrari creative director Flavio Manzoni is known for drawing all the time. Among his studies are, for example, the LaFerrari and FXX K supercars.

The premiere of Mad Max: Fury Road (May 14, 2015) is fast approaching, and to help you get through the next few days until the fourth installment of the post-apocalyptic franchise, we're serving up all the wrecked vehicles featured in it. Director George Miller dedicated a large part of the film to the octane monsters, which will probably completely steal the show from Tom Hardy, who replaces Mel Gibson and Charlize Theron in the role of Max.

The Infiniti Vision GT supercar looks like something that belongs in a video game. No wonder, when he was created for her. More specifically for Gran Turismo 6. So it started its journey as "just" one of the digital options for the needs of playing the infamous game, but now it has transformed from a computer form to an actual one. And at the same time kept the same body, the same lines as it has on the screen. Nevertheless, it is not yet known whether we will actually ever be able to buy it. Well, we will always be left with a virtual purchase in GT6.

Elon Musk, the father of the electric car brand Tesla, is not nicknamed the Steve Jobs of the automobile for nothing. He proved this once more when he introduced the Tesla Powerwall batteries, which have the ability to store solar energy. These would or will power homes, businesses, maybe even the entire world. By being able to store the energy of solar cells for later use, which until now has been the biggest obstacle in the use of renewable energy sources, they are changing not only the "producer" of electricity, but the very course of history.
