“There’s no such thing as impossible, it’s just a matter of figuring out how” says a Lexus boffin who has been involved in the creation of a brand new advanced Hoverboard, part of Lexus’ Amazing in Motion project. Sick!

Making use of magnetic levitation with liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors and permanent magnets to give the Hoverboard frictionless movement of a kind that had be en thought impossible before, the Lexus team seems to have cracked the hover code.

It’s not a car (obviously), but the Hoverboard shares design cues with today’s Lexus cars, including the signature spindle grille. It has also been made using some of the same materials, both high-tech and natural, such as bamboo.

Lets not forget one very important lesson though, taught to us recently by science superhero Neil deGrasse Tyson. Hoverboards as we saw in Back to the Future will sadly never be a reality.
