Lexus has released a third teaser video of its surprising hoverboard prototype ahead of its official unveiling on August 5. So we’ll get to see it in action at the Lexus hoverpark, a specially-made skatepark that is rumoured to be in Cubelles, a village near Barcelona, Spain.
“It’s the flawless example of the fantastic things that can be achieved when you combine technology, design and imagination”.
