Airbus Showcases The First Ever 3-D Printed Motorbike

Airbus, a major name in aviation has just unveiled a fully operated 3-D Printed Motorbike, this top secret project was personally test driven by Airbus’ boss Tom Enders on may 20th. You may be wondering what is an aviation manufacturer doing creating a motorbike and when will we be seeing the full production line? At the moment no one can really answer these questions, but here is a few things we do know about airbus’s new creation. It is fully electric, weighs 77 pounds or 35 kilograms, and is 30% lighter than any other electrical motorcycle stated by Airbus Subsidiary APWorks.

The Motorbike was nicknamed “Light Rider”, for its hollow-looking frame that reduces the overall weight and allows for a powerful 6 kilowatt engine. Airbus has applied the the same fundamentals on aircraft’s, in fact Airbus introduced a 3-D printed twin-engined prototype at Berlins Air Show in early June. Joachim Zettler, Chief Executive of APWorks, said 3-D printing had made it possible to produce the bikes hollow-looking frame. “The complex and branched hollow structure couldn’t have been produced using conventional production technologies such as milling or welding,” he said. Prices will start at 50,000 euros.

The Bentley Bentayga

Late last year Bentley released their first SUV, the Bentayga (the name was inspired by Taiga, the world’s largest transcontinental snow forest, and is composed of the first four letters of Bentley and an altered spelling of Taiga). The Bentayga was the first model to feature Bentley’s new twin-turbo W12 engine with up to 600 horse power, which allows for a not to 60 time of just 4.1 seconds, and the ability to reach a top speed of 187 miles per hour. These numbers make the Bentayga difficult to beat.

Buyers have the choice to choose from a four or five seat configuration, or the choice to wait until next year for the seven-passenger version. You are given an ultra exclusive opportunity to customize your Bentayga’s paint, hide, carpet colors, and a choice to opt for a Breitling Tourbillon clock.

“What makes it unique from a craftsmanship perspective, is if something looks like leather, it is leather. If something looks like a piece of wood, it’s not just a veneer, it is wood through and through. If something looks like a high piece of quality aluminum, that’s exactly what it is, rather than a piece of plastic,” said President and CEO of Bentley Motors, Michael Winkler. This $229,100 Sport Utility Vehicle is so popular it has already been sold out for the year. “That’s because it’s the fastest and most luxurious SUV on the market”, added Winkler.

The Remarkable Rolls Royce Vision 100

The name Rolls Royce is synonymous with excellence, and now the British Marque has truly exceeded that statement with the unveiling of the Vision 100 concept to celebrate over 100 years of bespoke coach building. The concept gives us a glimpse into the Rolls Royce of tomorrow. This bold statement reveals a future of the utmost in opulence. At nearly 20 feet in length and five feet tall, the Vision 100 casts a shadow over even the Rolls Royce Phantom Extended Wheel Base (the largest of Rolls Royce’s current automotive offerings).

The Concept brings additional features in the cabin with a Voice Control/AI unit called Eleanor named after Eleanor Thorton the model for the Spirit of Ecstasy that is positioned majestically atop the front of the bonnet of each Rolls Royce. Eleanor will act as your personal concierge, as well as being your chauffeur. She will even learn about her owner over time, recalling preferred routes, restaurants, and shopping.

In addition The Vision 100 is a fully electric, zero-emissions vehicle, and serves to showcase BMW’s (the parent company of Rolls Royce) belief that electric vehicles are the future of this industry. No traditional engine means an increased luggage compartment beneath the bonnet and in a side hatch at the front of the vehicle. Rolls-Royce has also done away with any inelegant entry or exit thanks to a hinging roof and doors that allow passengers to stand up in the car before stepping out.

Venturing into the cabin you will find a sofa and no steering wheel, for a matter of fact not even an instrument panel. Rolls-Royce has stated that those items are “superfluous in this model.” Instead, owners are presented with a full cabin-width transparent OLED display. Interior highlights include striking wood imported from Madagascar, a red carpet light (displayed each time you enter or exit the vehicle) making any trip an event, and sumptuous silk upholstery. But the most extravagant thing about this truly outrageous automobile is it has a maximum occupancy of only two passengers, but then again I imagine Eleanor dose not need a seat.
