BMW ConnectedDrive Vision
BMW and art go together and are inseparable. The latest developments in this regard are touch-sensitive tissues, which could include the Bavarian brand in their cars in the near future. As we saw in advance in the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive Concept that was presented at the last Geneva Motor Show, the German manufacturer is working to permanently remove the pushbutton on the dashboard, center console and steering wheel, leading to a revolucinaria touch technology or sensitive touch applied on textile fabric.

Tuatara SSC
Shelby Supercars (SSC), the American manufacturer that created the Tuatara, the latest contender for the title of fastest car on earth, has announced it will change its name and will take “a new corporate identity strategy” to facilitate the identification the brand as a producer of American supercars. Thus, from now, the U.S. company will be renamed now legally SSC North America.
Do not think this change of identity is free, you do not really think it is a business strategy, but behind it there is a demand by Carroll Shelby. Carroll Shelby International is the bodybuilder who created the former pilot and designer of Texas, who has nothing to do with Jerod Shelby, SSC Founder of North America. The first is linked to the creation of legendary cars in the U.S. as the Shelby Mustang or the Shelby Cobra, the latter only shares the name with him. Now, with the name change by the SSC, the dispute over the use of the Shelby name has come to an end.
