  • See Lexus RC F V8 coupe which displays human’s heartbeat!

    Lexus RC F V8 coupe heartbeat-01

    More and more industries are trying to incorporate the interconnection between machine and men into their products. This time around this is done by Lexus which collaborated with the creative agency M&C Saatchi. The two companies succeeded in crafting a one – off vehicle that very impressively manages to display a person’s heartbeat integrated in its bodywork.

    The unique Lexus RC F V8 coupe has adopted a number of innovative technologies in order to showcase something that we have never seen before. The human-machine connection is materialized literally. But how exactly does this happen? The first stage of the system functions by transporting the heartbeat of a connected person from a heart rate monitor to a customized electrical system featuring in the RC F.

    After that, the system catches the received information, processes it and then sends an electric charge across the car’s body panels. The latter are colored in electroluminescent paint finish which is created by US-based expert Lumilor. Finally, when the electric charge moves through the original paint, it glows and shows the driver’s heartbeat via a real-time animation sequence.

    With such high-performance vehicle, Lexus are going one step ahead of their competitors. This creation is bold, exclusive and will definitely be remembered and taken as an example in the future. Along with this, the Japanese luxury marque has developed other innovative projects like the new Lexus hoverboard and the smart outdoor advertising billboards which can respond to the car you are driving. Amazing, isn’t it?

  • 2014 Lexus RC Coupe at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show

    Lexus will exhibit the all-new RC Coupe at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show starting 20th November.

    The displayed models will be RC 350 with a 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the RC 300h hybrid with a 2.5-liter engine. The RC line brings to life the luxury marque’s focus on emotional appeal through a dynamic and alluring two-door coupe. It has been developed to raise the brand’s profile with a broader audience and new-to-Lexus customers. It injects emotional appeal into the Lexus DNA that is synonymous with build quality, refinement and reliability.

    The driver’s cockpit is divided into operational and display zones. The upper zone houses the instrument panel and a 7″ navigation screen while a layered center console integrates a new Lexus first Remote Touch Interface.
    Important for a coupe, the seats utilize an integrated foaming construction method – much like the molding of racing seats – to ensure optimum occupant comfort and support.

    Nissan has unveiled the groundbreaking and innovative ZEOD RC. This is the world’s fastest electric racing car, which will reach speeds of more than 300km/h with electric technology at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

    The ZEOD RC (Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car) will make its race debut at next year’s Le Mans 24 Hour. The global leader in electric vehicles for the road, Nissan will trial variants of new electric drive train technologies as part of its intended future return to LM P1 competition to challenge for overall victory at the world’s most prestigious endurance race.

    Nissan’s invitation from the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) to compete in the 2014 Le Mans 24 Hours was announced by Nissan Chairman and CEO, Carlos Ghosn in Japan in February. The car will compete under the ACO’s ‘Garage 56′ entry – an additional spot on the grid for vehicles that showcase new and innovative technology.

    Run as a Nissan / Nismo full factory international program with input from Japan, Europe and the US, the Nissan ZEOD RC design team is headed by Ben Bowlby who has been newly-appointed as Nissan’s Director of Motorsport Innovation and previously worked on the Nissan DeltaWing program in 2012.

    While the car will not race until next year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, Nissan today kicked off a unique aspect of the program – race fans getting the chance to unveil the car in the public area of the Circuit de la Sarthe. Nissan intends to draw back the curtain for fans across the globe to provide continued updates via its international partnership with YouTube and its Nismo.
