A US company has turned an example of the original Mazda MX-5 convertible of 1989 into a retro-inspired speedster, with a Ferrari-style paint scheme. The original Mazda MX-5 sports car – launched in 1989 to great acclaim – has become a popular choice as a base for speed shops to provide their own takes on the convertible. But the latest example of a modified Mazda MX-5 – built by US firm Xenex Motorsport, and called the MX Speedster – is different from the rest. Based on the first-generation ‘NA’ Mazda MX-5 – built from 1989 to 1997 – the MX…

The Czech automaker’s street-legal model is powered by a heavily tuned V-6 and will be limited to 89 examples. Would you part with $1.28 million for a new hypercar built by a company you’ve never heard of, from a country with no history of making very-high-performance cars? And what if it was powered not by the hybrid or fully electric power-train configurations we now expect in such models, nor by an aristocratic and exquisitely engineered V-12, which most of us still want, but instead by a heavily tuned and turbocharged Nissan V-6? The new Praga Bohema, revealed today and which Robb Report has already…

MANCHESTER CITY superstar Erling Haaland has been breaking records since the age of FIVE. Haaland’s most recent milestone took place only last Tuesday when he scored a staggering five times for City against RB Leipzig and became the fastest player to amass 30 Champions League goals. He bagged all five goals in just 35 minutes to take his total tally to 39 goals in 36 games this season, a figure that saw him break the Citizens’ all-time record set by Tommy Johnson 94-years ago. But the star striker’s exploits kicked off when he was in first grade as he broke…

A petite Minnesota mother has captivated TikTok with videos of herself carrying around her ‘chunky’ twin babies — who at seven months old already weigh 21 lbs. each. Alexis LaRue, 22, welcomed identical twin daughters Camila and Elena in March, and while they were born weighing just 6 lbs., 7 oz. each, they’ve quickly tripled in size. So when Alexis — who is only 5’3″ and weighs 116.4 lbs. — carries both of her babies at the same time, it makes for quite a comedic picture. Though her fiancé, Leo Mejia, 23, is certainly taller than her at 5’11”, Alexis was…

Erling Haaland is shining at Man City. Despite being a world-class striker, the Norwegian striker’s love story was not smooth. Erling Haaland continued to shine with a hat-trick in Man City’s 6-3 victory over MU in the 9th round of the 2022/2023 Premier League. Talking about the terrible scoring performance of the Norwegian striker or giving him praise at the present time is probably superfluous. Because right after the Manchester derby ended, many famous newspapers and social networks expressed their admiration for Haaland’s talent. There is an interesting little-known story about Haaland revealed by his former teacher at Red Bull…

This is the moment a leopard ended up with a porcupine’s quill up its nose – as it tried repeatedly to catch and eat the spikey creature. The predator was resting in a tree on the side of the road in Kruger National Park in South Africa when its unsuspecting prey wandered past. Measuring a metre and a half in length, the leopard pounced and moved in for the kill – but ended up with some of the porcupine’s quills planted in its mouth and paw. Traffic came to a halt as the startled porcupine made its way across the…

Brian Barczyk, a wildlife enthusiast and prominent YouTuber, recently uploaded a video showing two-headed snake devouring two mice at the same time. Snakes are among the world’s most dangerous reptiles, some even fatal enough to kill the victim on spot. Their venom, if toxic, take seconds to kill the strongest elephants, leave alone the humans. Even a thought about snakes can give people goosebumps. Now, imagine a snake with not one but two heads. Polycephaly — the state of having more than one head –occurs in the same manner as conjoined twins are formed, where an embryo which begins to…

Four-month-old Leopold Wilbur Reppond, from Seattle, suffers from oculocutaneous albinism that severely impairs his sight.

Thanks to special infant glasses from Miraflex, little Leo was finally given the opportunity to see. In the following heartbreaking video, Erin, Leo’s mother, puts the glasses on her baby boy. After a few moments, you see him realise that something…

A Texas family has nearly doubled in size after welcoming quadruplets this summer. Gaby Hagler, 39, and Patrick Hagler, 50, found out at their 12-week ultrasound that they were expecting not one but four babies. “We thought we were looking at two views of the same baby and then possibly four but the ultrasound tech was all excited and she’s counting ‘one, two, three, oh wait, no, no, wait, there’s four,'” Gaby Hagler, a real estate broker, recalled to “Good Morning America.” “We’re like, ‘Four? Four what? Four limbs? Like what are we counting?’ And she’s like, ‘Well, look, look…

Jamie O’Hara has hit out at the “worst decision” he has ever seen after Manchester City were awarded a penalty against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday. An Erling Haaland-inspired performance fired City to the Champions League quarter-finals, with the Norwegian striker scoring a staggering five times against Leipzig. The 22­-year-old City star opened the scoring at the Etihad from the spot-kick in the second-leg last-16 tie after a controversial handball call from referee Slavko Vincic. Leipzig player Benjamin Henrichs’ arm struck the ball as a result of a header from City midfield maestro Rodri, which led to…

If you want to say what the most eye-catching new tanks of Russia and NATO are, there is no doubt that they must be the Russian T-14 “Amata” and the German KF-51 “Black Panther”. The two traditional tank powerhouses have their own understanding of the fourth-generation tanks, so who can better represent the development direction of the fourth-generation tanks? First of all, let’s take a look at the T-14. The “Amata” tank has been making a high-profile appearance for several years. In recent years, Russia has not hidden it at all in order to expand foreign trade users. Therefore, the…

US startup Aptera has developed a solar and electric vehicle with a range of up to 1,000 miles on a full battery, which it claims most drivers won’t need to charge. The Aptera car is powered by a combination of solar and electric energy – what the company refer to as its Never Charge technology – meaning drivers would be able to complete average journeys without having to stop for more power at charging stations. According to the San Diego-based company, the average American drives 29 miles per day. Therefore, depending on where the owner lives and how much they…
