Honda reveals half bike, half car concept

This mean machine is called Project 2&4 Concept, a road-legal sports car that Honda says combines "the freedom of a motorcycle and the maneuverability of a car." It looks like an oversized go-kart, but don't be fooled by its appearance.

The vehicle is powered by the 999-cc V4 from one of Honda's MotoGP motorcycles. Matched to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the 215 horsepower engine delivers 158kW at 13,000rpm, with peak torque of "over" 118Nm delivered at 10,500rpm. The Project 2&4 Concept will be on display at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. There is no word, however, if the single-seater will ever see production.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:

She says her inspiration comes from dreams, books, love for history and general life experiences, good and bad. To see more of Sheri's work, follow her on Instagram .
