But it’s OK, because we’ve found a suitable superhero replacement. Inspired by the lightcycles from TRON, France-based Enzyme Design has created the Icare concept. Two wheels powered by a 6-cylinder 1.8L Honda engine, it’s the stuff of pure future fantasy.



The good news is that Enzyme’s last concept actually went into production (the Atomo V1000), so the Icare has a shot of making it to the marketplace. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can actually afford it. But two words of advice: second mortgage. [UGO and Enzyme Design via Core77]
