AeroMobil flying car ready for orders

But whoever wants it, will have to pay 1,2 to 1,5 millions of euros, as revealed by the Slovak-based manufacturing company of the same name.
The first car plans are expected to be delivered to customers within it 2020.
The company – one of many preparing similar hybrid vehicles- plans to produce in the first phase up to 500 such flying vehicles, according to Reuters.
The two-seater AeroMobil, which has a teardrop shape and a hybrid engine, features both four wheels and two airplane wings, which fold, like an insect, on the sides of the vehicle in just three minutes. So, quickly converts from plane to car and vice versa.
Its radius of action on the road reaches the 100 kilometers and in the air the 750 kilometers, while its road speed also reaches the 100 kilometers.
But there are certain conditions to be the owner of such a medium. It should take off from an airport or other place with an airstrip (and not from the street outside his house, something that is illegal), while he should obviously have both a driver's and a pilot's license. Yet, the car-plane will be subject to the regulations governing both cars and airplanes (and will certainly be an ideal presumption of income for the tax authorities…).
For such vehicles to circulate, the fears of public authorities and public opinion on security issues should be allayed. The governments, which already have to regulate the use and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and driverless autonomous vehicles, now they will have an additional headache: the car shots.

Alonso causes!

Δεν είναι η πρώτη φορά που το κάνει ούτε η τελευταία, το ερώτημα είναι η Honda γιατί το ανέχεται; Ο Φερνάντο Αλόνσο δεν έκανε καριέρα ως καλό παιδί. From his early years in F1 to today there are too many examples where he has been disrespectful as well as rude. That never did him any good, on the contrary, it created a lot of trouble for him.
ΤΟΥ ΤΑΚΗ ΠΟΥΡΝΑΡΑΚΗ
Θυμάμαι Κυριακή πρωί στη Μόντσα το 2006, τον Αλόνσο να λέει πως η “F1 δεν είναι πια άθλημα”. Ο Ισπανός θεωρούσε πως άδικα του είχε επιβληθεί ποινή 5 θέσεων επειδή είχε κλείσει το Μάσα την προηγούμενη μέρα.
Θυμάμαι μια Πέμπτη απόγευμα στο Μονακό έχει τελειώσει η δουλειά και φεύγουμε από τα πάντοκ μαζί με τους τεχνικούς του Alpha. The Spaniard comes with his girlfriend at the time, later his wife, today his ex-husband to take his scooter. We smile, he doesn't reciprocate… he's got the stand stuck in the building's ventilation grill. He puts down the bags he's holding, he tries to release it he can't. I offer to help, we make it, το σκηνικό έχει γίνει αντιληπτό από κάποιους φωτογράφους που αρχίζουν να τραβούν εικόνες. Πάει να φύγει σα παλαβός, ξεχνά τις τσάντες του φωνάζω, τις δίνω, φεύγει χωρίς ευχαριστώ…
This scene is indicative of Alonso's approach to things. There are thousands of other examples like what happened to 2007 at McLaren. They had the best car and Alonso instead of competing with Hamilton on the track, preferred Stepneygate. He leaves McLaren badly and returns to Renault. The 2008 first race in the history of Singapore Alonso wins with the help of Piquet. But he didn't know anything about it’ this…

Honda is investing in the Civic

The tenth generation of the Civic family benefits from the largest global development program for a model in Honda's history. The car has been designed to exceed European standards and expectations – to meet the demands of all global regions where the Civic will be sold.
Honda's European production plant, Honda UK Manufacturing (HUM), will become a global production hub for the tenth generation Civic hatchback. Honda has made an investment 200 million pounds in new technologies and production processes in preparation for the new model. This will be exported worldwide, even in the US. The investment is part of a long-term vision for the European plant in Honda's global operations.
The Civic is an important model for Honda in Europe and is a key contributor to its strong sales and production history in the region. For many European customers, the Civic is synonymous with the Honda brand. Το νέο Civic hatchback συνεχίζει αυτή την παράδοση και θα παίξει καθοριστικό ρόλο για να επιτευχθούν οι στόχοι πωλήσεων της Honda στην Ευρωπαϊκή ήπειρο.
Το εργοστάσιο της HUM κατασκεύασε τον πρώτο του κινητήρα το 1989 και το πρώτο του αυτοκίνητο το 1992. Τώρα περιλαμβάνει δύο Μονάδες παραγωγής οχημάτων και μία εγκατάσταση παραγωγής κινητήρων. Άλλες περιοχές των εγκαταστάσεων προορίζονται για πίστες δοκιμών, εργαστήρια δυναμικών και στατικών δοκιμών, αλλά και τμήματα διοίκησης και προμηθειών.

BMW M4 CS: Good news...

BMW's M4, soon acquires a stronger version with the two capital Latin CSs, which takes place below the GTS. This is the most powerful M4 in production, especially now that the GTS doesn't even exist for a sample. Deep bow to the blue and white propeller…
His GIANNI Tsirogiannis (gt@newsauto.gr)
The heart of the new CS is the 3-liter six-cylinder in-line twin-turbo gasoline engine that produces 460 horsepower and almost 61,0 kgm of torque to the rear wheels. Externally, you will distinguish the mighty CS, from the carbon hood, the iconic spoiler, the impressive rear diffuser, but also the enormous wheels (19 inches forward, 20 back).
The German brand talks about weight savings 32 kg compared to the M4, this was also helped by the interior with lighter seats and upholstery. On to the performance now, the 100 km/h from stop come to 3,9 sec, with the help of a seven-speed dual-clutch semi-automatic transmission. The top speed reaches the 280 km/h.
More in the coming year, when we will see her rolling her beastly wheels on the European roads or better on the tracks, where he breathes better and feels like a fish in his own water.

This is the solution to traffic congestion;

We have all been stuck in traffic and of course without being able to do anything to avoid it.

The solution may be the following. This is an SUV from Verizon, which can be raised approximately 3 meters above the ground so it can pass over other cars. Weighs 3.864 pounds and needed 2 months to build.
So the following video gives us a solution to be able to overtake all the cars in front of us in line and reach our destination faster. Let's see if such a thing will really come on the market.
See it and you will understand….
