Here Is All New 2018 Lexus LC 500 A recent track day we attended happened to be sponsored by Lexus, with the car on display to hopefully tempt a few customers. While we weren't allowed to move the car even a meter, Lexus did agree to let us film a quick walk around which at least allows you to see and hear this new V8 coupe. The LC 500 will be the range-topping flagship two-door for Lexus, sitting above the RC F with which it shares its 351kW/540Nm 5.0-litre naturally-aspirated V8. Apologies, the video says 530Nm, but it was recorded off-the-cuff. It's a wonderful engine that'll have its work cut out shifting the LC 500's 1900kg+ kerb weight, though a 10-speed automatic will do its best to compensate. Also available will be a LC 500h, which uses a 3.5-litre V6 allied to an electric motor. Lexus claims 0-100km/h in 4.5sec for the V8 and "under five seconds" for the hybrid. Pricing is not yet confirmed, however we expect the LC 500 to land around the ...
Chris Doane Now this is what you call a “boss” Mustang. A camouflaged prototype of a new high performance Mustang variant has been caught cruising the streets outside Ford’s Dearborn Development Center with what appears to be the director of the Ford Performance division, Dave Pericak behind the wheel. If it weren’t an important car, he wouldn’t be driving it. Bulky black padding and a dazzling wrap hide most of the car’s secrets, but the revealing part is where the rubber meets the road. The coupe is wearing a set of Michelin front tires that are 305 mm wide. That's the same width as the rear tires on the current Mustang Shelby GT350 and matches the fronts on the Chevy Camaro ZL1's, which are the widest in the land. This suggests that the new Mustang isn’t destined to be just a straight-line special, but is being developed with handling in mind. The wheels that those tires are wrapped around and the brakes inside of them are completely covered on the test car, but...
Details about Google's new mystery operating system, Fuchsia, appeared on Ars Technica on Tuesday, which gives us a better idea of what Fuchsia is for. Based on Ars Technica's findings, Fuchsia is designed to work on "modern phones and modern personal computers with fast processors" with "non-trivial amounts of RAM." That seems like an odd move on Google's part, as Android runs perfectly well on budget devices with lesser specs. It's usually third-party apps that require speedy components to perform at their best. We've seen before that Fuchsia is built completely from the ground up, and is based on Google's own "Magenta" kernel instead of the pre-existing Linux kernel that Android is based on. A kernel is the core of an OS where the basic functions are built from. Kernels are like an empty house (Linux) where the tenant (Google) can furnish from the ground up to work, look, and feel the way it wants. By building its very own...
