Invisible and Airless Tires: A Reality?

Rumors have been spinning faster than a Ferrari 458 Italia’s wheels since 2005 regarding Michelin “Tweels”—which are see-through and airless tires! While this concept may sound a bit SyFy, it may have law enforcement rethinking those spike strips in the future! Video at bottom of post

That Crazy 2015 BMW i8

Another BMW i8 prototype has been spied, likely the 2015 version! The i8 began popping up back in 2009, and is certainly a work in progress that has somehow endured over the years. BMW has been using the i8 luxury car concept to demonstrate the possibilities of their unique LifeDrive architecture, which is a composite body/passenger cell mated to a powertrain unit.

A $2 Million-Dollar Luxury Car Concept You May Not Know About

While it may never hit production, the DiMora Natalia luxury car concept is certainly noteworthy! This machine boasts a $2 million dollar sticker price, a 16-speed transmission, a biodegradable chassis comprised of lava rock and a top speed of 270 miles per hour (so they say)…so I might just politely inquire– what is the holdup?

Details on the Falcon F7 Supercar

Deployed at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show, the Falcon F7 sounds more like a military aircraft or private air charter, but it is actually a carbon fiber and monocoque fantasy. This car looks like an Audi R8 and a Ferrari mated from the front and side, and has some old-fashioned American muscle car appeal from the rear view. Overall, the Falcon F7 sizzles in both appearance and power, so let’s get down to specs.
