Wheelless cars have been on the agenda for a long time, especially if sci-fi movies are any indicator. But if in reality these are still years away, it seemed that the floating boards predicted for 2015 by the movie Back to the Future II would be a more realistic goal. Just yesterday, these seemed like something from the future, but luxury car maker Lexus surprised and apparently managed to figure out how to defy gravity with a board. Slide is probably not a prank.
The Ferrari F40 replica made of Lego bricks was created as a tribute to the last Ferrari model, which was fired by its founder Enzo Ferrari. It is one of the most legendary sports vehicles, which entered the history of motoring with golden letters as early as 1987. And just as Lego bricks are timeless toys, the F40 model is also timeless and still turns heads almost 30 years later. Therefore, one made of Lego bricks that you can assemble yourself is a logical consequence of both mentioned facts.
Although the Specialized S-Works Venge ViAS is said to be the fastest bike in the world, that in itself means nothing if you don't do your part. But it is born for speed, because at this American bicycle brand, they invested more than 1,000 hours in testing, produced countless prototypes, honed their latest road diamond and built a special wind tunnel for it so that nothing would escape them. And the result is a new level of aerodynamics. The bike will make its competitive debut at the world's biggest stage race, the Tour de France 2015, starting on July 4, 2015.
Quite a few car brands have already tried their hand at making cars with 3D printers, but no manufacturer has yet printed a supercar. San Francisco startup Divergent Microfactories has now signed the first super sports car, and the first super sports car made with a 3D printer is called Blade.
Good things come to those who wait. Alfa Romeo let its fans wait a long time for the new product, but the wait was worth it. On the occasion of the 105th anniversary of the brand's existence, the famous name Alfa Romeo Giulia was brought back to life. It is the successor to the famous Alfa 159, which rose like a phoenix from the ashes, but looks nothing like its predecessor. In parallel with Giulio, the brand's refreshed logo made its premiere, but the snake of the Renaissance Visconti dynasty and the Lombard cross clearly did not lose their place.
After three years, Peugeot decided to update the 208 model, which is also the best-selling car of this brand. Design corrections are minimal, but still welcome, as they infuse the popular city car with some additional freshness to fight in an extremely competitive car class, where the 208 is really at the top. So - the main one in town!
The Audi Q7 has always been considered different, so different that in the first generation it lasted practically unchanged for 10 years without significant changes. Because of its imposingness, it attracted mainly those who like a lot and also a little different. In the second generation, it stands out again. Both in terms of technologies and in a form that is equally atypical, able to please many people. But as far as technology is concerned, the first impression is more than excellent and in accordance with Audi's slogan - an advantage in technology. And a big leap into the future. This is mr. Big - the new Audi Q7.
Jyo John Mullor, a designer from Dubai, has designed a series of helmets that look like they leave our head completely exposed. The helmets give a horrifyingly realistic look to the shaved heads of various people.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC is the new SUV of the star from Stuttgart, which replaces the angular GLK model with modern lines inherited from its brothers. Only this one goes into retirement, as Mercedes also introduces a new model naming system with the GLC. It will fight for buyers with the BMW X3 and the Audi Q3 and Q5. From what we have seen, we believe that he will be extremely successful at this!
It somehow seems logical for Tesla to offer home batteries, but it was a little less to be expected from Mercedes-Benz. Thus, Tesla's Powerwall home battery is now joined by a home battery from a car brand owned by the Daimler conglomerate. It will offer batteries with a three-pointed star on the "chest" as early as September 2015. These were also originally developed for Mercedes electric vehicles, but now households will also benefit from them for producing their own electricity from renewable energy sources.
Wild Twelve or Divjih twelve - a great name, it sounds like a gang of wild cowboys - is a supercar that was made by the Torino Design company. He put his exotic phenomenon on display for the first time at the boutique Parco Valentino - Salone & Gran Premio in Turin. And if we are lucky, a limited series of 30 cars will be produced next year at the former Bugatti factory in Campogalliano, where the legendary EB110 model was also produced.
