TORRANCE, Calif. -

An announcement from Lexus is generating quite a social media buzz and cheers from fans of Back to the Future Part II.

The luxury brand said this week that it has partnered with who Lexus officials claim are leading experts in super conductive technology to create one of the “most advanced” Hoverboards ever developed.

The automaker explained the Lexus Hoverboard operates using magnetic levitation to achieve amazing frictionless movement. Liquid nitrogen cooled superconductors and permanent magnets combine to allow Lexus “to create the impossible,” according to officials.

Wrapped in a design that the company said is “uniquely Lexus,” the Hoverboard features the iconic Lexus spindle grill signature shape and uses materials found in the luxury brand, from the high tech to natural bamboo.

The Lexus Hoverboard is part of the fourth project in the Lexus Amazing in Motion campaign that showcases the creativity and innovation of the Lexus brand.

“At Lexus, we constantly challenge ourselves and our partners to push the boundaries of what is possible,” said Mark Templin, executive vice president of Lexus International.

“That determination, combined with our passion and expertise for design and innovation, is what led us to take on the Hoverboard project,” Templin continued. “It’s the perfect example of the amazing things that can be achieved when you combine technology, design and imagination.”

Testing of the Lexus Hoverboard will be taking place in Barcelona, Spain over the coming weeks. One thing to keep in mind, though, as Lexus noted: The Lexus Hoverboard is a prototype and will not be on sale.
