Motivauto is your online source for Automotive novelties, reviews and more. I have a passion for anything related to cars, which will definitely shine through in my posts. I hope that you'll enjoy reading, and that you'll keep up with the latest Automotive news through here!
Remember that artsy car in my first post about the Tokyo Motor Show? It's called the Fun-Vii, and I genuinely think Toyota's people were either drunk or redecorating their houses when they designed it. Or both.
The car allows you to choose any picture as its side, making it very customizable. The interior is adaptable as well, with color changing dash, seats, everything. The sides of the car are made of OLED panels. It's a new feat, based on the technology used in smartphone screens (Like Samsung AMOLED) but a little more advanced. They've made them transparent (!) from the inside, because you don't want to run over anyone's feet while admiring your own car's sides.Also, there is an inbuilt projector for watching movies and playing games on the windshield of your car. Not while driving, of course.
I think it's unbelievable what automotive manufacturers come up with these days. It's like they are fighting for the weirdest designs. (And they probably actually are.) As far as I'm concerned, they're taking this funky car thing a little far but hey, as I said earlier, concept cars are fun regardless of how credible they are. And that is, after all, what the Tokyo Motor show is about. Fun and technology.
You're a 22 year old Arabian with quite some money to spend. You've got an eye on that new flashy Lamborghini, but there's a waiting list of over 6 months. What do yo do? Well here's wat Dhiaa Al-Essa did: he just voluntarily added $35000 to the bill, which now makes him the first one to own an Aventador in the middle east. Apparently that's how they roll there. So next time when you're in the line for an ice-cream, bare in mind what a little extra money can do!
Try and look again, don't let your eyes conceive you! This PR stunt was pulled by BBDO, Toronto for Mercedes' new C63 AMG. I always admire these kinds of advertising, because behind every good ad was a man who thought out of the box.
The all new (well, all new...you have to look twice to distinguish it from the 997) 991 Carrera S is almost ready to roll into the dealerships. The guys at Porsche show us how they shoot some hot PR video at Laguna Seca.
People use to have all kinds of hobbies. Things like sporting, making paintings, reading, arranging flowers or, you know, setting trends by hand-knitting Christmas baubles. This guy, however, is a completely different story. He worked over 1200 hours to create a miniature V-12 engine, that spins when compressed air is blown through it. The Cam-shaft and the valves move just like the real thing. The Spaniard machined every single piece of metal with high accuracy. In this 9 minute video you can see the whole process, and yes, you do get to see it running. Nothing but respect for this ‘ere lad!
