Hoping to remind car enthusiasts of the emotions they felt when the 918 Spyder was introduced, Porsche now offers the 2018 Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. It’s the new range topper for its one, and only, sedan. It relates to the 918 Spyder in the sense that the new Panamera is both the highest performer of the model line and a hybrid. The heart of the operation is a longitudinally mounted 4.0-liter V8 with 90-degree banks, four chain-driven camshafts with variable timing and direct injection. It’s a “hot-v” setup, meaning the intake ports are outside the V, and the exhaust ports are inside, where two twin-scroll turbochargers lie. Those compressors help spin up 550 hp at 5,750 rpm and 568 lb-ft of torque at just under 2,000 rpm. The hybrid capability comes courtesy of a 136-hp and 295-lb-ft-of-torque electric motor, which bolts directly to the back of the V8 and ahead of the eight-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. The parallel system includes an electric decoupler so that the internal combustion engine and electric motor can work in concert or on their own. Total system power comes to 680 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, which is available, effectively, whenever That’s a lot. Good thing power is distributed to all four wheels. Unlike the 918, that power comes mechanically from the same package, no separate electric motor to drive the front axle. Instead, a slathering of differentials, clutches and software manages what power goes where. As a result, several computers decide how much the front and rear axle receive, and indeed how it's distributed between the driver and the passenger side. Also unlike the 918, the Panamera carries four doors, stretches 199 inches and rests on a steel structure. Not to mention all the luxuries and niceties shoved in. All told, the E-Hybrid weighs about 5,100 pounds, which is within 300 pounds of a base Chevrolet Tahoe. Part of that heft comes from the 14.1-kWh battery in back, allowing the E-Hybrid to run on electricity alone for 31 miles. Efforts to belie physics and usual penalties involved with weight, Porsche engineers mounted an air suspension to each corner in lieu of steel springs. These are standard equipment and give the E-Hybrid adjustable ride height. The high setting allows for better clearance up inclines like steeper driveways. It can ride low while cruising the interstate to slip through the air a little better and increase badassness while doing it.

The Government of Venezuela has launched on Tuesday the presale of the petro, the cryptocurrency backed by the natural wealth of the country, as confirmed by the Executive Vice President of the Republic, Tareck El Aissami. In his speech, the vice president of Venezuela stressed that the petro emerges as the most reliable and innovative cryptocurrency, noting that "it is an instrument of the 21st century" and encouraging young people in the country to be "the vanguard of electronic mining". "Today the Venezuelan petro presale is formally and officially launched, and Venezuela is at the forefront of future times," said El Aissami. "It is a novel initiative of the Bolivarian Government, a liberating mechanism," he added. Last week, the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, signed the so-called 'white book' of the petro, in which the characteristics and functioning of the new Venezuelan digital currency are established. According to this 'white paper', in February would sell 38.4% of all petros that will go into circulation, the equivalent of 2,300 million dollars, and a month later 44%, about 2,700 million dollars. The rest would be in the hands of the Government and its group of advisers, VIBE. After the launch, Maduro has announced that the presale of the petro has reached 596 million euros since its activation, midnight Monday, until 8:00 pm local time on Tuesday (00:00 GMT).

Welcome to CSBD

I recently had the chance to drive a Range Rover Evoque Convertible. This opportunity came to me from Turo, which is this service that lets you borrow other peoples' cars instead of the traditional normal, dull rental cars. I chose it because the Range Rover Evoque Convertible is one of the most bizarre vehicles on sale today -- and one of the most bizarrely expensive. Today I'm going to illustrate why, and I'm going to start in an obvious place: the pricing. Oh, yes, the pricing. The Evoque Convertible starts at $53,000 with shipping, which is already fairly pricey for a 2-door, 4-cylinder car. It's even more expensive when you consider that the base model -- called the "SE Dynamic" -- doesn't include heated seats, a navigation system or any modern safety tech, like a blind spot monitoring system, lane-keep assist, automatic braking, a 360-degree camera and others. To even have the chance to get those items, you must upgrade to the HSE Dynamic, which starts at $58,700, and now you've just paid nearly 60 grand for a 2-door, 4-seat, 4-cylinder vehicle. And you still don't have those safety features: To get them, you must add the Driver Assistance Plus package ($3,400) and the Lux package ($2,700), which brings your total to $64,800. The Evoque Convertible I drove had all this stuff, and it also had the Black Design package, which added another $3,500 to the bottom line, and the Cold Climate package, which added $500. Even at that sum -- $68,300 with shipping -- you then must pay $750 for SiriusXM satellite radio, which the owner of my Evoque did; that brought the total to $69,500 with shipping, making this one of the single most expensive 4-cylinder vehicles on the market. Which would be fine, if it were great. But it isn't. There were a few Evoque Convertible issues I had that may have been specific to the particular example I rented (though I must say it was in excellent shape, with only around 10,000 miles). Specifically, a not-so-insignificant amount of rainwater would enter the cabin during hard cornering with the top fully up and secured. And when the windows got wet, they made an almost unbelievable screeching noise -- almost like every time you pulled up to a toll booth and rolled down your window to take a ticket, there was an army of Harry Potter villains trying to break into the car. So fine. Let's say not every Evoque Convertible has those problems. Let's give the thing the benefit of the doubt. But even if that's true, you're still dealing with the following circumstances: You've paid somewhere between $60,000 and $70,000 for a Range Rover Evoque. This figure buys you a 240-horsepower 4-cylinder engine, which sends you from zero to 60 in around 7.7 seconds, meaning this isn't exactly a performance car. It also buys you only two doors and only four seats -- one fewer than even the 4-door Evoque -- and the back-seat space is miniscule, absolutely unusable for adults, and (when the top is raised) difficult for any human being to climb inside. Cargo space is also highly compromised due to the convertible top, meaning this isn't exactly a practical car, either. And then there's the issue of ground clearance. Land Rover touts all its vehicles as go-anywhere, off-road-capable beasts that can tackle the wilds of the world, but the Evoque Convertible I drove had 20-inch wheels with ultra-thin tires, and it could barely tackle the potholes in the Miami area. It's also worth noting the Evoque Cabriolet has just 8.5 inches of ground clearance, which is less than a Subaru Forester. I get the sense it isn't exactly tackling any off-road terrain, meaning this also isn't exactly an adventurous car. So you pay 70 grand for the Evoque Convertible, and you're getting a rather slow, impractical vehicle without the usual adventuresome Land Rover capabilities. Now, before I go any further, I should say that I actually like the regular Evoque. It's not hugely expensive (it starts at just $42,500), it's reasonably practical in 4-door guise, and it's spry, attractive and reasonably efficient. But the Evoque Convertible loses virtually all of those benefits, and charges you an extra 50 percent in the process. So what do you get? Well, I admit, the Evoque Convertible has some pretty nice technology. There's a good backup camera. It has one of those systems that automatically steers you out of a parallel parking spot. The interior is decent. There are "RANGE ROVER" badges on virtually every surface. And, of course, you get a removable roof, which you can put down at any moment, when you want people to stare at you and wonder exactly what possessed you to buy such a vehicle. You also get civilized road manners, acceptably tight and predictable steering and handling, and a noise-free driving experience -- when the windows aren't screaming at you like a contestant on The Price Is Right. Unfortunately, this is not enough for me to recommend the Evoque Convertible, although it seems my opinion isn't really necessary: I've seen just four of these on the street, including the one I drove around Miami for the week. What I do recommend, however, is that Land Rover build a convertible version of the next-generation Defender -- because open-top off-roading in a capable, go-anywhere vehicle is a lot more exciting than open-top cruising in an impractical, $70,000, 4-cylinder weirdmobile. So, Land Rover, you've put the soft top on the wrong car. Fortunately, there's still time to rectify your mistake.

Developer : Digital Extremes Platforms : Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, OS X, OnLive Genre : FPS Mode : Singleplayer | Multiplayer Release Date : February 10, 2012 Description : The Darkness II plays similarly to its predecessor, but with the introduction of new features such as "quad wielding," a technique which allows Jackie to use both the Darkness' "Creeping Dark" tendrils and firearms simultaneously. The player has access to one Darkling, who is involved in the plot and useful in various situations. The player can use the "Creeping Dark" tendrils to slash or pick up enemies for executions or to simply throw them, or various items within the environment (parking meters, car doors, etc.) and use them as projectile weapons or shields. Each kill, discovered relic, and execution earns the player Essence, which allows players to purchase new abilities from Talent Shrines. Devouring hearts restores Jackie's health and earns Essence. Like in the previous game, Jackie loses his powers in the light, though in this game light also causes Jackie's vision to brightly blur and is coupled with a high-pitched ringing. Trailer System Requirements - OS: Windows XP/Vista/7 - Processor: Intel Core 2 @ 2GHz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ - Memory: 1.5GB RAM - Hard Disk Space: 10GB - Video Card: 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600 / ATI Radeon HD 2600 - Sound: DirectX Compatible - Additional: Requires installation of Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable, DirectX and nVidia PhysX version 9.11.1107 (included with download)

There are scant few PC simulation games that can compete with Microsoft’s titanic Flight Simulator X in terms of sheer features and scope. Enter Flight_Sim_World, a sleek, polished, and incredibly realistic PC flight sim from Dovetail Games that comes chock-full of tools, aircraft, and systems for would-be pilots to tinker with. Even in its current Early Access state, FSW is packed with high-detail aircraft models and some gorgeous landscape to explore, especially considering the game’s playable area is… the whole world. But Flight Sim World isn’t all surface glory, a lot of work has been done under the hood, too. As a result, FSW boasts the most realistic flight physics out there, which alongside a glut of weather effects help bring journeys that bit closer to reality. It’s also significantly cheaper than becoming a pilot yourself, it doesn’t matter if you fall asleep mid-flight, and you don’t have to eat plane food - really, what’s not to love?
