McLaren just showed a car that feels like it time-traveled from a different era of sports cars while still wearing every modern material trick the company knows. Revealed during Monterey Car Week, the McL 6GT is a low, wide, carbon-fiber machine that will reach customers in 2028 as a limited-production model of roughly 500 examples. Pricing sits in the neighborhood of $1.5 million. What makes people stop and look twice is the third pedal and the tall gear lever rising from the center console. This is McLaren's first road car with a real manual since the F1 in 1992, which

Porsche's Sonderwunsch team a nearly new 2018 911 GT2 RS with the Weissach package and asked for something that had not existed in decades. The result is the Flachbau RS, a factory one-off that stretches the front of a modern turbocharged 911 into the flat, purposeful silhouette once reserved for the most extreme racing cars of the late 1970s.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 , priced at $399 (was $499). That simple motion turns the camera on and gets you rolling in about two seconds, whether you hold it upright for vertical clips or keep it horizontal for wider scenes. The screen itself rotates freely and stays bright enough to read outdoors at 700 nits, so framing a quick walk-and-talk or a family moment never feels like a chore.

Ferrari rolled a completely unique coupe onto the Monterey Car Week stage this week and called it CZ26. Built through the Special Projects programme for a single American client, the car started life as an SF90 Stradale and left Maranello two years later looking like something else entirely. Flavio Manzoni’s design team treated the SF90’s hard points as a fixed foundation and then drew a new body around them, one that leans hard into the clean geometry of 1970s Italian industrial objects while still delivering the performance numbers the donor car made famous. The silhouette is purposefully oriented horizontally. A

Nate Scovill decided the Red Bull slogan needed a proper test. He bought cans of the stuff, cleared space in his workshop, and set out to see whether an energy drink could actually launch something into the air. His recent video walks through three attempts, each more serious than the last, until one of them finally left the ground under its own power. He started simple, with a can of Red Bull, which included 160 calories and 38 grams of sugar. After drinking it, he attached some cardboard fins to the empty can and tossed it into the air like

A German-built trailer that rolls behind a compact car by day and floats on calm lakes by night first rolled out more than a decade ago. Today the latest SEALANDER arrives with a fuller list of comfort options than any earlier version, ready for orders with deliveries that began in mid-2025. Daniel Straub’s idea took shape in the early 2010s and reached the market around 2014 as a lightweight hybrid of teardrop trailer and small motorboat. The core concept is a single hand-laminated fiberglass hull that, regardless of whether the boat is moored at a campsite or drifting softly across

Kids living at the bottom of the Nizhuhe Grand Canyon in Yunnan Province once faced a brutal path to school. Steep mountain trails and cliffside routes stretched more than three hours one way across a vertical drop measured in hundreds of meters. Guanzhai Village Primary School sat high above at roughly 1,650 meters elevation. The village of Nizhuhe rested far below. Roughly twenty children from nearby communities made the trip, often as boarding students. Round trips could consume six hours of hard walking on paths that left little room for error. Fuyao Ladder, a 288-meter glass elevator hammered straight into

James Whomsley, better known as ProjectAir, has spent nearly a decade turning odd ideas into flying machines. His latest project takes one of the simplest shapes possible and asks whether it might outperform the wings we see every day. He built a giant radio-controlled plane whose main lifting surfaces form complete circles, then put the concept through the same cycle of prototypes, crashes, and rebuilds that defines so much of his work. The idea began with a paper plane he made as a child. A small ring-shaped flier that flew farther and straighter than his normal dart creations. Several years

Sliding a plastic brick into a cartridge slot and hearing the soft click of an eject button should not feel revolutionary in 2026. Yet that simple motion sits at the center of a one-off machine that quietly argues for something most big publishers stopped offering years ago. YouTuber The Stock Pot took a Geekom IT13 MAX mini PC, stripped its original shell, and wrapped the board in a fresh 3D-printed body shaped like a compact Halo console. Olive-green panels click into place over an air gap, orange power and eject buttons protrude from the darker carbon fiber-reinforced PETG case, and

Summer afternoons turn ice cream sandwiches into sticky messes in minutes. One maker decided that ordinary pockets would no longer do. Brendan Carberry built a battery-powered storage case that clamps straight onto a pair of jorts and chills the treat inside while the heat pumps out the other side. He calls it the Jorts Ice Cream Sandwich Pocket. Three heat pumps are situated in the center. The Peltier elements move heat from the cold side (which is attached to the sandwich) to the hot side (which is protected by some large, chunky heatsinks). A little battery that fits in the
