Smartphones have almost become our right hand in everyday life. And if something happens to them (knock on wood three times), it's already a minor drama. Honda has therefore created an airbag frame that completely protects our beloved devices even in the worst falls.

Every year, the Geneva International Motor Show presents technologically advanced cars and concepts from global manufacturers. This year we had the honor of attending the most important automotive event of the season. We were among the first to see the premieres of new models from well-known brands and feast our eyes on numerous remakes and luxury models.
Honda surprised again and in all probability set a new Guinness World Record for the fastest lawn mower in the world. The Honda Mean Mower achieved an average speed of 187 km/h (116.57 mph) and beat the old record by 47 km/h.
As of today, the C-segment of station wagons is richer for another seriously spacious, but also distinctly sporty competitor, represented by the Honda Civic Tourer. It boasts exceptional spaciousness, as evidenced by the 624-liter basic trunk and a large amount of flexibility both in the rear and in the passenger cabin. Prices start at 18,990 euros.
25 years after the launch of the original Honda NSX, Honda is ready to turn over a new leaf. Namely, buyers on the other side of the Atlantic will soon be offered a modern reincarnation of this sports icon of the 1990s, which shocked the world and the automotive competition upon its arrival on the market.
After months of playing hide-and-seek, Honda presented the final look of their Civic Type-R road rocket a day before its premiere at Palexpo. This in many ways sets new standards in the segment of small sports cars, and for the first time in this model we are witnessing turbocharging, which gives the 2.0-liter petrol engine additional wings and as much as 228 kW or 310 hp. With such a pedigree, the Civic is currently the fastest "hot hatch" in the segment, if we exclude the RS study Focus at Geneva.
Civic Tourer Active Life is a Honda model entirely dedicated to cyclists or cycling teams. It is a reworked/upgraded wagon version of the Civic model with enough space to carry two bikes in the passenger cabin. Honda will present the study to the public at the nearby Frankfurt Motor Show. Details are still rather scarce, but the Japanese car manufacturer has provided some attractive photos that give a pretty clear picture of what to expect from the car.
The fever is rising. The Frankfurt Motor Show 2015 has started and we are looking forward to a really hot automotive autumn, so hot for Slovenians that we can talk about the Indian automotive summer. The automotive industry continues in high gear, and Slovenians will also have quite a bit of it, as many novelties or fresh versions of well-known and popular models will soon hit our roads.
The Honda Project 2&4 is a mini racing car with which Honda shows off its muscles and consolidates its status as the world's largest engine manufacturer. In the study, which will be presented by the Japanese at the Frankfurt Motor Show, they installed a modified racing engine of Honda motorcycles from the MotoGP series, the RC213V, this is a 999cc four-stroke V4 monster. The concept offers the freedom of a motorcycle and the driving characteristics of a car.
Would you like to give your motorcycle a street, "streetfighter" look? Thanks to the equipment made by Huge Design, you can now convert your Honda CBR1000RR (year 2008 or younger) into a streetfighter and do it yourself. Strip it of excess armor and put on special handles, headlights, rear, etc., for the look of a modern street machine that would not be ashamed of James Bond movies, The Fast and the Furious or Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible.
You've probably never seen a motorcyclist dressed in full combat (read motorcycle) gear on a scooter. The scooter demands this from the driver. But that's exactly what happened at the qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen in the royal class, when the Spaniard Marc Marquez crashed on one of the corners. Because of the time scissors of the qualifications, water was running down his throat, he sprinted off the track and tried to find the fastest way to make his way back to the pits and pick up a new motorcycle. The scooter of the Italian photographer Tino Martin happened to be there, which Mark "borrowed" without thinking.
Honda brought to the Paris Motor Show the prototype of the Honda Civic Type R model, which goes on sale in 2017. As with previous models, Honda also wants to break records on the legendary Nürburgring track with a 'racer for everyday use'.
