"Imitation is the most overt form of flattery," said Charles Caleb Colton, and the new BMW R nineT Scrambler certainly nods to that. It is the conceptual twin of Ducati's Scrambler, a motorcycle that takes the rider anywhere for less than $10,000. Information that borders on science fiction in the motorcycling world. However, the BMW R nineT Scrambler is somewhat more exclusive.
Porsche is a name in the automotive world that needs no special introduction. There is probably no person in this world who has not heard of him. He produced a series of iconic models that are among the most sought-after collector's items. Although to the eye of the uninitiated it will seem that every Porsche is almost the same as any other, but for car lovers, this German manufacturer from Stuttgart has signed many engineering excesses. So many that it was hard to choose just 10! Here are the 10 most legendary Porsches of all time.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS is actually the new Mercedes-Benz GL, i.e. the new largest SUV of this elite German car brand. But the renovation was so specific that it added the letter S to its name in the style of smart phones. Now the biggest Mercedes giant will compete even more easily with its rivals on the road, but on the off-road it was completely left without it.
Husqvarna returns to the road with the Vitpilen 701 motorcycle concept, which hints at where the world's largest manufacturer of motorized outdoor equipment is headed in the future. It is a modern urban motorcycle that is bathed in carbon fiber and details.
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 successful Slovenian designer Nina Šušnjara prepared the Sunsnyara aft'r NY fashion exhibition at the Situla premises, and the latest prestigious model Jaguar XF and sporty Jaguar XE were also presented, for which Nina Šušnjara became the ambassador.
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.
