It's time to rev your engines and buckle up for a wild ride through the latest and greatest concepts in the world of vehicles. From bikes that look like they're straight out of a sci-fi movie to cars that would make even James Bond jealous. Several mind-blowing fly vehicles are also included in the list!

Have you heard of the new PEUGEOT INCEPTION CONCEPT? It's a sick electric car that’s supposed to be the future of the brand. It's got a dope new design, inside and out, with this Hypersquare control system that uses steer-by-wire technology, and the next-gen PEUGEOT i-Cockpit.

The INCEPTION CONCEPT is supposed to set the tone for PEUGEOT's future cars, and they're planning on bringing most of its features to their production cars by 2025. The design language is more streamlined and minimalistic, with a new light signature that merges with the front grille to make one smooth object that houses the sensors.

One of the coolest things about the INCEPTION CONCEPT is the TECH BAR that runs horizontally through the door layer. It uses artificial intelligence to recognize the driver and set up their preferred settings for seat posture, temperature, driving mode, and multimedia preferences. It also displays the battery charge level and has a bunch of sensors and radars, making the bodywork super smooth.

Don’t ask me how to sit on those seats, I don’t know, I haven’t tried. This electric car is powered by a 100kWh battery and can go up to 497 miles on a single charge. It's got two electric motors that produce almost 680hp, so it can go from 0 to 62mph in less than three seconds.

Plus, it's got 800V technology that lets you add almost 100 miles of range in just five minutes, and it can charge wirelessly too. So yeah, it's pretty damn impressive.

Humans and cars are a special kind of emotional relationship, and it's getting deeper. The BMW i Vision Dee adapts to the driver’s habits, and suggests destinations to navigate to, or entertainment programmes and provides information, news, calendar entries or social media posts.

It's the world’s first full-color version of the E ink technology. The BMW i Vision Dee is able to display up to 32 different colors.

But let's get back to the tech part. As soon as you settle in the driver’s seat, you enter a new world. This is achieved first and foremost by the BMW Mixed Reality Slider and the advanced BMW Head-Up-Display.

The Slider displays content in five different levels – ranging from analogue, to driving-related information, to the contents of the communications system, to augmented-reality projection, right up to entry into virtual worlds. The vision vehicle is emotionally intelligent: It interacts with its environment. The vehicle uses its numerous sensors to register the identity and position of the person and reacts when they approach.

Headlights and the closed BMW kidney grille form a uniform surface that stages a multimedia welcoming scenario of light, graphics and sounds – including nine different facial expressions. It has many emotions ranging from joy and approval to amazement.

Let’s add some passion and exclusivity to this car set. My mouth is watering as I look at the new Hypercar Carmen Boulogne. Only five of these stunning cars will be made and you'll need more than 1.5 million dollars to get your hands on one.

But let's talk specs because this car is a monster. It can hit a top speed of 290 km/h and go from 0 to 100 km/h in under 2.6 seconds. And when fully charged, it can travel about 400 km. That's some serious range right there!

The car is built on a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and it's 100% electric. The bodywork is made of carbon fiber that's left unpainted and has a slick gloss finish. It also boasts some sweet copper-colored accents on the front grille, wing edging, window surrounds, side sills, mirrors, and logos. The 20-inch wheels are black with copper touches that really make them pop.

And who said these cars won’t withstand snow? Screw you.

It’s time to check out the new Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX concept car!

It's a total showcase of sick achievements in aerodynamics, battery tech, and composite materials. On a single charge, this electric sedan can drive about a thousand kilometers. The battery is about 30 percent lighter than the EQS, even though it's got about the same capacity.

Now let’s take a closer look. As I’ve just said, the aerodynamics of this car is taken to a whole new level, and now it's got a record coefficient of air resistance - only 0.17!

How'd they do it? By making the front projection area small, giving it a drop-shaped cabin, and a rear track that's 50mm narrower. The Vision EQXX has a 900-volt battery with a passive thermoregulation system that provides a power reserve of 1000 kilometers.

The car also has 117 solar cells built into the roof, which can give an additional 25 kilometers on a clear day. They were developed in collaboration with the German Institute for Solar Energy Systems.

Plus, there's a super cool widescreen curved 8K display in the whole front panel with a resolution of 7680x660 pixels. Gosh, I can't take my eyes off that beauty.

Let’s be real: There just aren’t that many flying electric boats in the world. But even if there were, the Candela C-8 would undoubtedly be at the top of the list for premium models.

Now, let me give you a quick overview of Candela. It’s a top-notch electric boat that is super energy-efficient. How’s that possible? By using hydrofoils that let the boat fly, which means it needs a smaller battery to go further than other electric boats. Plus, you get a smooth ride without any noisy engines or exhaust fumes.

Let's talk about tech. The C-8 uses Candela’s new C-POD motor, which is an engineering marvel. It has a pair of electric motors that power two propellers and deliver a total of 50 kW (67 hp) of power. And get this, it’s underwater which makes it super quiet.

The C-8 also has an enclosed cabin that’s big enough for two adults to sleep in, or four people to hang out in comfortably. It even has optional gear for taking showers or doing your business in private. Plus, it’s got advanced technology like route following and autonomous flying modes, kinda like Tesla Autopilot, but for a boat that can fly.

What's even cooler is that Candela designs both the hardware and the control software, so even if you don't have any professional boating experience, you’ll be flying the C-8 like a pro within two minutes of leaving the dock.

Heavy duty construction machinery producer Caterpillar has built an electric version of their ginormous 2,650-horsepower mining truck, which is seriously impressive. It's called the 793 Electric, and it's aimed at helping the mining industry be more environmentally friendly.

This thing is a beast, with its huge size and electric power, it's so advanced that it may work autonomously! Yeah, you heard me right, you can sit back and let this baby do all the job thanks to its built-in LiDAR, radars, and cams.

But don't worry, there are two joysticks just in case you need to take control. Even when the truck works 1750 miles away from you.

And let's talk about performance, there was a live demonstration in Arizona on a 4.3-mile course. The truck was fully loaded and achieved a top speed of 37 mph, which is seriously impressive. It even drove one kilometer up a 10% grade at 7.5 mph, and went down a 10% grade while capturing the energy that would normally be lost to heat and regenerating that energy to the battery.

Overall, this electric mining truck is a game-changer for the industry and shows that sustainable operations are possible.

Based in Finland, Verge Motorcycles is ramping up to start production of one of the most unique bikes to hit the market. It's called the TS, it’s a superbike, and it's got a design that's out of this world, with specs that make other bikes -- whether they're gas or electric -- super jealous.

So, what's the deal with this bike? Well, it's got a hubless rear wheel, which is just nuts. The electric motor is located in the wheel rim, so there's no need for a belt or chain drive. And that means there's more room in the frame for a bigger battery pack.

Verge claims this baby can go from 0-100 in under three seconds, has a top speed of 200 KMH, and boasts an insane 885 ft-lbs of torque. That's like something out of a superhero movie!

The range is pretty impressive too, with 124 miles on the highway and 186 miles in the city. And charging is a breeze, with just four hours using the onboard unit or 50 minutes with a fast charger.

Overall, the Verge TS is one of the coolest superbikes out there, and it's made for riders who want a seriously unique ride.

Here’s another bike worth checking out. Davinci DC100 is one of the baddest machines out there when it comes to bikes with a capacity of up to 1000 cm3.

And it's powered solely by a battery and an electric motor! It may not roar like a traditional motorcycle, but it sure can evoke just as much emotion.

This electric bike packs a serious punch with 134 horsepower and a whopping 850 Nm of torque. That means it can hit 100 km/h in about three seconds and has a max speed of 200 km/h. The battery gives it a range of 249 miles( 400 km). Plus, it only takes 30 minutes to fully charge up with a quick DC charger.

But that's not all. The Davinci DC100 is seriously high-tech. You can monitor all the data in the app on your phone. The hardware has over 1,000 chips and 200 advanced sensors built-in.

They track all kinds of info about the bike's movement, battery temperature, engine, and even the angle of the bike. And all of that data helps optimize the bike's performance in any condition. Overall, the Davinci DC100 is one sick electric motorcycle that'll turn heads wherever it goes.

We've got electric bikes, electric motorcycles, electric trucks and electric sedans, but this world is missing an electric pickup and Ram has filled that gap.

The concept looks super slick, with a stretched wheelbase and a sleek windshield that's swept back. The front end has a blacked-out look with an illuminated "RAM" badge and some sweet LED headlights with a "tuning fork" design.

There's also a beefy skid plate hiding some tow hooks and the taillights and Ram badge on the tailgate are also made up of LEDs. You've also got a powered frunk, charge port, flush door handles, side steps, and a rear step.

But wait, there's more! The tailgate can open outwards like barn doors to extend the bed, and the interior is loaded with tech. You've got a 360-degree camera system, an AI-powered voice-activated assistant, and augmented reality in the head-up display.

The steering wheel even has small screens built in, and the glass roof has electro-chromatic panels that can adjust their opacity. The 1500 Revolution also has a Shadow Mode, where the truck autonomously follows the driver, making short trips around a job site a breeze.

And if that's not enough, there are different cabin modes that let you adjust seating positions, ambient lighting, window opacity, suspension, and more with just one button press.

Lightyear 0 reinvents the wheel when it comes to energy consumption, range capability and charging. It’s built like no other electric car, charging on-the-go and gaining up to 70 km of range per day from the sun alone.

The optimized solar roof and holistic design mean that the car can drive for weeks, even months, without charging.

In cloudy climates, based on the average commute of around 35 km per day, you can drive for up to two months before you need to think about charging. In sunnier countries, that could be up to seven months.

And with this tech, you can charge up anywhere in the world, just plug it into any power outlet. Even with a basic home socket, Lightyear 0 can still charge 32 km of range per hour.

Well, but what if I want, let’s say, an off-road weekend? No worries, with 474L of trunk space and a ground clearance of 183mm, this ride is perfect for exploring off-road and finding those hidden gems.

Here’s another model worth mentioning. It looks more like a golf-car, though.

Anyway, Squad is a solar electric city car that seats two people, and charges both via the sun and via the battery. It can charge up to 19 miles via its rooftop solar panel and 62 miles via its four battery packs. The fastest it can go is 28 mph.

Because of its classification as a “low-speed vehicle”, drivers don’t need a license to operate it in most countries. It is only two meters (6.6 ft) long, so three of the vehicles can fit into the average parking space.

It can comfortably fit a laptop on its dashboard and has a storage area in the back that can be extended by folding in the passenger seat.

BMW has launched the i7, its flagship luxury sedan powered solely by electricity. Developed in conjunction with the next-gen 7-series, the i7 offers the same level of luxury as the gasoline-powered model, but with two electric motors and a battery pack.

The xDrive60 version offers all-wheel drive, an estimated 300 miles of range, and a 101-kWh battery pack capable of adding 80 miles of driving range in just 10 minutes on a DC fast charging connection. The i7 also includes three years of free 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America charging stations with every new purchase.

The i7's styling is more conservative, with a distinctive front-end design featuring unusually large grille intakes and split-element headlamps. The car's interior is spacious, luxurious, and upscale, with fine materials lining every square inch of the cabin.

Buyers who opt for the Executive Lounge package can enjoy power-adjustable reclining seats, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and extra-plush headrests for rear-seat passengers, and even an enormous theater screen for rear passengers.

The i7 also comes with a host of technology features and is surprisingly agile for a large sedan, with brisk acceleration and a smooth, hushed ride. While not designed for sports-sedan handling, the i7 is tailored for buyers who want whisper-quiet luxury vehicle and a comfortable driving experience.

Electric bikes have been around for a while, but OKAI's EB50 has something unique to offer. This e-bike has a 1,000W motor and can go up to 20 mph (32 km/h), which is considered a Class 2 e-bike in the US.

This means it's limited to a top speed of 20 mph and its motor is actually rated at 750W to comply with the rules.

But here's the exciting part: there's a new update for the OKAI app that pairs with the bike, and it lets you unlock the top speed to a higher 28 mph (45 km/h). Some users are even getting speeds of up to 31 mph (50 km/h) with a fully charged battery!

The update also lets you hit the new high speed on throttle-only operation, so you don't have to pedal to go above 20 mph. On top of all that, the OKAI app is pretty sweet. You can use it to adjust the bike's performance with over-the-air updates.

The EB50 also comes with an NFC-enabled key card to lock and unlock the e-bike, or you can just use the app over Bluetooth to avoid carrying a key card.

That strange-looking suitcase is called Tatamel Bike and it’s actually a versatile electric bike that can transform into a personal transportation device with dual suspension and ten-inch tires. It weighs 110 lbs and can go up to 40 km/h for around 30 km.

But it's not just a bike; it's like an electric multi-tool that can transform into a little desk when needed. The side panels are customizable, and you can choose different materials like wood, or leather. The bike is also a power source that can charge any device with a USB-C port, and it takes only three hours to fully charge when plugged into any wall outlet.

You can increase the battery size for more power, but that'll make it heavier. Ikoma, the company that produces the bike, has plans to add attachable solar panels to turn it into a power station in case of blackouts or disasters. How cool would that be?

Another car that changes its color! Yep, the ID.7 is Volkswagen's new mid-size electric sedan that is expected to hit the market in 2024.

Based on the ID.Aero concept, it's designed to be sleek and aerodynamic while offering both front- and all-wheel drive electric powertrains. Its driving range is more than 275 miles per charge. The sedan comes standard with a large 15.0-inch infotainment touchscreen and a head-up display capable of projecting navigation instructions and key vehicle info.

But, yes, this car is mostly about the color. VW says it has at least 40 layers, with a mix of conductive and insulating layers among those. The paint is separated into 22 areas, and all but the top layer is electrified, creating illuminated sections that can even be synced up to music.

The company also incorporated QR codes into the design, directing people who scan them to a VW website.

Sony and Honda have joined forces to create a new electric car brand called Afeela. The brand aims to position itself as a "mobility and tech company" and plans to bring its concept to market in 2025.

The manufacturers aren't giving too many tech details, but what I do know is that it'll have all-wheel drive, and it’ll have two electric motors. The car will be 5 m in length, and almost 2 m wide. The 21-inch wheels come with cool aerodynamic hubcaps.

Unfortunately, there's no word yet on battery capacity or range. The Afeela interior features a front panel cut like previous Sony prototypes, with plenty of screens including outer displays for the side cameras, and a pair of tablets in the back for rear passengers.

The multimedia system comes with 5G connectivity and over-the-air software updates. The Afeela is packed with 45 sensors, cameras and other high-tech features. It's designed to meet level three autonomy and data is processed by a Qualcomm processor capable of performing 800 trillion operations per second.

That car reminds me of something. DeLorean DMC-12, is that you?

You’re right, that’s the new DeLorean Alpha5 which is a total departure from the iconic DeLorean DMC-12.

The only things that connect the two are the gullwing doors, classic rear louvers, and three-layered tail lights. Some diehard fans might not like the new design, but the company wanted to move away from nostalgia and create something new and modern.

The Alpha5 is supposed to have a range of 300 miles, go from 0 to 100Km/h in under three seconds, and hit a top speed of about 155 Mph - pretty impressive! They're only making 88 of them though, so if you want one, you better act fast!

Check out the super cool and modern Lilium Jet! This luxury seven-seater is perfect for a comfortable ride, with one pilot and room for six passengers in the cabin.

Lilium Jet is expected to reach some amazing heights with a cruise speed of 280 km/h (175 mph) and a range of 250+ km (155+ miles) at a cruise altitude of 3,000 m (10,000 ft). With 36 ducted electric vectored thrust fans on the canard wings, this plane is designed for maximum efficiency.

The fans are super quiet due to their electric ducted nature and acoustic liners that help capture and dissipate noise before it gets too loud. Plus, it's six to seven times quieter than a helicopter!

The wings have ailerons to help further increase the efficiency, while the cabin windows are larger than usual to give you a better view. The landing gear is a fixed tricycle wheeled landing gear and there are tons of safety features like distributed electric propulsion (DEP) and redundant systems.

Here’s another fly vehicle worth your attention. Aska is an autonomous on-demand hybrid-electric VTOL and STOL four-passenger aircraft that can also be used as a roadable vehicle.

It has a cruise speed of 150 mph in the air and a top speed of 70 mph on the ground. The range of the aircraft in the air is 250 miles.

The fly vehicle has six electric propellers and six electric motors mounted on foldable canard wings. The large rear wing is optimized for gliding, smooth landings, and efficient energy consumption.
