Lexus have made a hoverboard and it arrives at the beginning of August

Thirty years after Marty McFly hopped on a hoverboard in Back To The Future Part II, Lexus have made our Eighties dreams a reality.

They’ve finally cracked the tech that we’ve all longed for over the past three decades – a working hoverboard. The board has been teased in a series of videos that show a functioning model floating above the ground, and now they’ve announced that the launch is just a few days away.

Simply titled The Lexus Hoverboard, it will be unveiled in full on August 5. It is currently unknown what exactly the launch will entail – we’d hazard a guess that while the tech now exists, it won’t be available for the consumer market for a long while yet, except perhaps for the super-rich.
