We\u2019ve experienced highs and lows and have overcome a few challenges, but through mutual determination we have created a demonstration of our philosophy in design and technology to create Amazing in Motion.”Alongside the new hoverboard, Lexus also revealed a sneak peak of\u00a0its\u00a0new GS F saloon."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Amazing Lexus hoverboard revealed","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/cars\/amazing-lexus-hoverboard-revealed\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
