Paul Timmer, a Dutch designer, carved the wheel from ash wood (without the addition of veneer or plywood), a wood renowned for its aesthetic qualities and strength. But that doesn't mean that riding with such a frame is hard. Quite the opposite. The wooden structure intercepts more vibrations on the way to the body, even more than carbon fibers. Nevertheless, the bike is durable, which is especially appropriate for a cyclocross bike.
In the year that we have just left, Ford thoroughly ventilated, or rather renovated, its range of LGV models and added quite a few new ones. So there is a certain amount of confusion at Ford now, because there are so many models that even buyers sometimes don't know which model it is without visual support. See how the Ford tourneo connect fared in our test.
The Lotus Evora 400 may be looking at the back of some other supercars, but that's why it's much lighter than the competition (it has lost weight to only 1.4 tons).

It will make its world debut at the 85th Geneva International Motor Show on March 3, 2015.

The G 500 4×4² was supposed to surpass all its predecessors and successfully step into the shoes of the G-Class, but they were too big for the 6-wheel-drive heavyweight, the G 63 AMG 6 x 6, which is probably on the way out. It is on him that the G 500 4×4² leans, but whether it will also be its "undertaker" is still open to speculation.

Ferrari's vision of the future of the Formula 1 racing car is far from the cars we are used to. The racing car is a real feast for the eyes, which can hardly be said for the cars that are currently running around the racetracks.
