Metal Biomechanical Spine Armor Is Battle Cyborg Ready

Posted on by

Developed and built by Etsy shop BionicConcepts, this biomechanical metal spine armor features everything you’d look for in new spine armor, like cool looks and light-up effects. The cyberpunk-style spine is constructed from aluminum and will be worn daily by yours truly. I just need to cut a huge hole out of the back of my sofa first so I can relax comfortably.

Available in raw aluminum and black finishes, the cyborg spines start at around $710 for a silver (raw metal) model with a single color light, up to $910 for one with a black finish and RGB lighting. I’m probably going to compromise and get the silver with RGB lighting for $837, with a special request to mark the box it comes in ‘NOT ANOTHER CYBORG SPINE HONEY, I SWEAR.’

Don’t have the money to buy one of these spines? Head to the junkyard and get the parts to construct your own. Just make sure you’re up to date on your tetanus shot first. Also, maybe not trying to visit the junkyard after regular business hours under the cover of darkness because I was definitely shot at.

Lazzarini Design’s Cyborg hypercar steams into a future dominated by performance oriented EVs

Posted on by




A concept hypercar destined to set the tarmac on fire, as the machine stamps its authority over other four-wheelers. The beefy build and the intimidating front section of the car are comparable to a super fit bodybuilder in his prime.

Lazzarini Design Studio is the epitome of perfection and future-forward designs that’ll pave way for transportation, architecture and aerospace. The founder Pierpaolo Lazzarini has created a niche for his brand in the design space and their automotive creations are an inspiration, to say the least. Along with the flamboyant yacht and watercraft designs, the design studio wants to change the future landscape of commuting in style with equally impressive automotive creations.

The gull-winged Cyborg is a good example of this radical thinking that’ll shape the element of ludicrous style and power for four-wheeled beasts in a decade’s time. Machines capable of breakneck speeds while being powered by an electric powertrain. All this without compromising on the bold character capable of intimidating any other hypercar on the freeway. A form that’s comparable to a muscular fighter in the heavyweight category. Lazzarini Design seems to have drawn its inspiration from the acclaimed Bugatti Chiron on the front section, having a contoured flowing shape well complimented by the slim array of LED headlights.

From the sides and the rear section, it gives off the peculiar Bugatti Bolide hypercar vibe. The middle sections look a lot slimmer though and the muscular build-up on the front and rear makes me draw parallels with a toned bodybuilder who’s had the right dosage of steroids for muscle mass just at the right spots. The design studio refers to this creation as a half-human half-machine, which goes perfectly with my analogy (I hope so). The Cyborg indeed is a racing machine built for the future – one that you would keep staring at each time it blasts past you on the highway. The future indeed is exciting if Lazzarini Design Studio’s concept meets fruition!
