Being a lover of exquisite style it is only natural for the tuning experts from Larte Design to build a car inspired by traditional bespoke tailoring for men. For discerning gentlemen who desire nothing but the unique, Larte Design unveiled “Missuro” – a bold new styling package for the QX80, Infiniti’s largest SUV. Dressed in a noble blue color, Missuro retains the proportion and the magnificence of a luxury yacht on wheels and guarantees an immaculate style and a truly bespoke experience.

Missuro is a full-size luxury SUV designed in the tradition of exclusivity. The chic option package allows Infiniti enthusiasts to further customize the interiors and the exteriors of this re-designed motor beast.

What’s new in the QX80 tuning kit for Infiniti aficionados?

The front and rear bumpers, the radiator grille, tail pipes, and the reflectors were re-styled to metamorphose the car into a fashion-forward vehicle, reminding us that every man looks best wearing a suit and driving a car with personality. Make an exercise to compare the before and after pictures to see the visual impact of the new tuning upgrade.

The Larte Design propasal for Missuro includes a new high-performance exhaust system with electronic sound control valve, while the engine compartment is now equipped with additional vents above the headlights. It is aesthetically pleasing and practical for extra cooling.

The highlight of the new package is the tri-mode LED light with turn signal function. A 3-in-1 option, the LED lighting triples a as daytime running lights, parking lights and turn indicators. (See in the two photos below the difference between stock model and the Larte’s one )

The sharp, structured, and very tailored exterior is paired with custom 24-inch, three-piece modular wheels with forged centers for superior endurance in the severest conditions of all motor sport roads. A braking system from Rotora, the worldwide manufacturer of high-performance braking systems and brake components, is also at your disposal. The uncompromising braking system features 8-piston calipers, ventilated rotors, high-performance pads and braided stainless steel brake hoses.

Like for a luxury suit, the first step in getting a Missuro car is to congratulate yourself for investing in excellence, in a product of superior quality and fit, designed just for you.

Take a look at the images for an immersion in the refined experience in the studio.

Lexus Hoverboard with magnetic levitation technology shows final testing in Barcelona. Travelling across water included.

Lexus Hoverboard revealed in new film ‘SLIDE’

Following the unveiling of the Lexus Hoverboard in June, the luxury automotive company completed a full and final reveal of the project concluding a successful testing phase which took place in Cubelles, Barcelona. However, the Lexus Hoverboard remains a prototype and will not be on sale.

The Lexus Hoverboard project began 18 months ago through a collaboration with a team of scientists from IFW Dresden and evico GmbH, who specialize in magnetic levitation technology. Following extensive testing with pro skateboarder and hoverboard test rider Ross McGouran, in Dresden, Germany, the team were determined to push the hoverboard to its limits and conduct further tests within dynamic surroundings.

“I’ve spent 20 years skateboarding, but without friction it feels like I’ve had to learn a whole new skill, particularly in the stance and balance in order to ride the hoverboard. It’s a whole new experience,” said pro skateboarder and hoverboard test rider Ross McGouran.

Since the Lexus Hoverboard was unveiled in June, testing has been carried out in a specially constructed hoverpark, combining elements from skate culture with technology within its architecture. Up to 200 meters of magnetic track was transported to Barcelona from the Dresden facility to lay beneath the hoverpark surface in order to create the dynamic test, offering Lexus the opportunity to demonstrate tricks no skateboard could ever perform, like travelling across water. Lexus has captured the final ride footage and released it as a film led by award winning director Henry-Alex Rubin.

The Lexus Hoverboard technology features two “cryostats”—reservoirs in which superconducting material is kept at – 197 degrees through immersion in liquid nitrogen. The board is then placed above a track that contains permanent magnets.

“The magnetic field from the track is effectively ‘frozen’ into the superconductors in the board, maintaining the distance between the board and the track—essentially keeping the board hovering. This force is strong enough to allow the rider to stand and even jump on the board,” explained  Oliver de Haas, evico CEO.
