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.
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.

Phones are getting faster and more powerful every year, but unfortunately battery capacity can't keep pace with progress. Therefore, we have all experienced the frustration of an empty phone at the moment when it is least needed. That's why we can be all the more grateful for products like the ChargeDoubler USB charging cable, which halves the charging time with conventional chargers. You can get it on Kickstarter for a few euros.
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.
Although it sounds utopian that one day the world will be ruled by only one government and all the inhabitants of the Earth will be "fellow citizens", the idea is not so far-fetched. Namely, when we look at the matter from a little further, and we mean physically further, i.e. from space, and when we throw in the progress in technology, it no longer sounds like a romantic idea. Imagine that there are countless habitable planets and planets with life out there. And then the planets become what we call countries today. Will humans then come together and present themselves as citizens of the Earth? If so, what would our flag be, i.e. the flag of planet Earth? Check.
