Dramatic video showing the recent deployment of a BRS ballistic parachute during spin recovery testing of an LSA aircraft. Test pilot became concerned about altitude loss and wisely chose to deploy his recently installed BRS, with no injuries to the pilot and only minor superficial damage to aircraft.
The Urus is Lamborghini’s long-awaited re-entrance into the SUV market. It’s also the perfect representation of its 55-year journey from seller of mad things with an allergy to ergonomics, to an ultra-modern supercar manufacturer with the quality, reliability and business sense of Audi.
Few would argue the latter is a bad thing when it spawns a family of supercars that you can actually see out of and start on the button every time… but the big fat question here is, is a spacious, high-riding, five-seater family SUV pushing the Germanic sensibleness too far? Let’s start with the way it looks. No doubt you made your mind up within seconds of seeing it, but hopefully we can agree on one thing: of the Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Bentayga and Audi Q7 bunch with which it shares its steel and aluminium MLB platform, it’s not pug-ugly like the Bentley, and has more presence than the other two put together. In the interim five-and-a-half years since we saw the Urus concept, it’s become a little larger, rounder and wider of arse, but the overall shape is surprisingly faithful. There’s the same arrowhead bonnet shut line, but beneath that there’s a lot more going on. Layer upon layer of mesh, intakes and splitters with a cycloptic sensor housing parked in the middle of it. You’ll notice the yellow car here is maximum jazzy – fortunately, more subdued specs, like the grey car with mostly blacked-out elements, are available. Around the back, the concept’s tailpipes have dropped, but the small rear windscreen and full-width tail-light have survived. From this angle, perhaps more so than the front, it’s instantly a Lamborghini. But the Urus’s real trick is to combine a downward-sloping, BMW X6-esque roofline, which keeps things pinched and muscular around the rear wheelarch, with masses of interior space. We’re talking six-footer behind a six-footer with a good chunk of leg- and headroom to spare. It also has a 600-litre boot – enough for a grown man to climb in on all fours and do a convincing impression of a large dog. A point we prove right here, in our walkaround video. Big wheels (21-inch as standard, up to 23-inch if you must) and edgier styling than its rivals isn’t enough to earn the Lamborghini badge. For that, it must possess a vicious turn of speed, which is where 641bhp, 627lb ft of torque (available from 2,250rpm), 0–62mph in 3.6 seconds and 190mph flat out come into play. Before you start Googling furiously, the 707bhp Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk also takes 3.6secs, but that’s from 0-60mph, and it trails by 10mph at the top end. That makes the 2.2-tonne Urus officially the fastest SUV out there. Frankly, we’d be perturbed if it wasn’t. Where mild perturbing might occur is under the bonnet. You won’t find a highly strung, naturally aspirated V10 or V12 on loan from the Huracán or Aventador, but a version of the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 from the Bentley Continental GT and Audi RS6, connected to an eight-speed auto and redlining at 6,800rpm. If you can get over the fact that it’s more likely to woofle and rumble than bark and shriek, it’s actually a far better fit for an off-roader – offering more torque at lower rpm. And yes, you can take your Urus off-road should you wish. The V8’s other trick is being the most fuel-efficient engine ever in a Lamborghini (22.2mpg, 290g/km CO2) thanks in part to a cylinder-deactivation system that works below 3,000rpm and gives you 173lb ft to work with. That’s right, tickle the throttle and you’ll find yourself driving a four-cylinder Lamborghini with less torque than a diesel Ford Fiesta. 
A cold case investigation into the mystery disappearance of a Porsche 27 years ago has finally been solved.
The 1979 Porsche 924 coupe went missing from a car park outside a cinema in the city of Medford, Oregon, in 1991. Police say the classic car had not been seen for more than two decades when a dog walker stumbled across the overturned wreckage in remote woodland on 28 November. 
Jackson Co. Sheriff's Office investigated initial reports that human remains were found with the wreckage, however bones on the ground nearby were determined to belong to a deer.
“A man walking in a wooded area this week came across a vehicle reported stolen nearly 27 years ago,” the sheriff’s office said. “He called dispatch to report finding an overturned vehicle down a steep embankment. The position of the vehicle at the base of a cliff made it nearly impossible to see from the road above. “Heavy forest debris indicated the vehicle had been there for a significant period of time. The registration tags expired in 1991. Further investigation found the Porsche was reported stolen on January 20, 1991.” The sheriff's office say it is working to determine the best course of action to remove the vehicle. “Its location on steep, rugged terrain presents logistical and environmental concerns for removal,” they said. 
The driver told the police that he had three drinks that evening and didn't see the officer's lights.An Alpharetta, Georgia, police officer’s dashcam captured the chase as she raced after a McLaren 720S that the radar showed going 155 miles per hour (249 kph). Police charged the driver with speeding, driving under the influence, reckless driving, failure to maintain a lane, and driving with an expired tag, according to Patch.
The video shows the supercar accelerating into the distance, and the officer’s cruiser unable to keep up. The chase ends because the McLaren driver decides to pull over. The guy admits to the officer to having three drinks that night. The 720S driver said that he didn’t see the police cruiser’s lights or hear its siren.
The incident began when the speeding McLaren driver passed the officer at around 3 AM local time, according to Patch. The cruiser was able to pace the supercar up to 105 mph (169 kph), but the 720S kept accelerating. The speed was significantly over the 65 mph (105 kph) limit on the highway.
"I checked the vehicle's speed again with my RADAR device and the device read 155 mph. I reached a speed of 143 mph in my patrol vehicle and the vehicle was still pulling away from me," the officer wrote in the incident report, according to Patch. "He stated that he pulled over when he saw me behind him, which was approximately 5 miles after I initiated my emergency equipment." The police reported that the driver had bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol. A field sobriety test indicated that he was under the influence, but the driver refused a Breathalyzer. 
Half these route's he's taking makes one just want to cringe. The pucker factor is apparent in half the video scenes, but its no doubt he is a good rider. Sit back and watch this guy dominate some awesome routes.

Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet have just completed an incredible stunt that saw them fly into the cabin of a plane as it flew over the Swiss Alps. Watch the video and find out how they did it right here.
he sport of wingsuit flying has been taken to the next level by Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet, who are two BASE-jumping experts from France known as the Soul Flyers. Their latest project is called A Door In The Sky and saw them BASE jump from the one of Europe’s highest peaks and into a plane while it was flying at altitude. Click on the video above to see the duo launch themselves off the summit of the Jungfrau mountain in the Bernese Alps before landing in the tiny cabin of Pilatus Porter light aircraft in mid-air.

Here is the Hydrofoiler XE-1, an innovative gadget that combines electric bike and hydrofoil to let you ride on water! Because cycling on the mainland is so outdated, this bike is equipped with an electric motor and fins that allow it to stay on the surface, allowing you to ride freely on lakes, rivers or the oceans.
Designed by New Zealand-based company Manta5, the Hydrofoiler XE-1 is apparently easy to use, and can even be restarted in the middle of the water after a fall. No price has yet been announced, but this aquatic bike should be launched before the end of the year. See also the Lift eFoil, an electric surfboard to fly over the water. |
