A German company that sells cleaning equipment used its pressure washers to create a giant image of Godzilla on the Iwaya Kawauchi Dam in Saga Prefecture, Japan.


This image showcases the Porsche 2708 Indy Car Project, a "Pure Porsche" race car designed specifically for the Indianapolis 500… Spearheaded by Norbert Singer, the car was powered by a 2.65L Single Turbocharged V8, engineered by the legendary Hans Mezger. Drivers such as Jochen Mass, Al Unser Sr., and Al Holbert were involved in its testing and shakedown…
The engine, seen here during testing, was designed for high-performance IndyCar racing, emphasizing Porsche’s commitment to pushing technological boundaries in motorsports…

The Corvette 5.7L V8 is a classic American muscle engine that has become synonymous with high performance and power. Found in various generations of the Chevrolet Corvette, this 5.7-liter V8 engine has been a key contributor to the Corvette's legendary status as a performance icon.
The 5.7L V8 engine, especially in its LS1 and LS6 configurations, produced impressive horsepower figures—around 350-405 horsepower, depending on the model year and tuning. Known for its strong torque, the engine delivered exceptional acceleration and top-end speed, making the Corvette a favorite on both the street and the racetrack.
With advanced features such as aluminum alloy construction, overhead valve (OHV) design, and sequential fuel injection, the engine was not only powerful but also relatively lightweight and efficient for its time. It was paired with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission for a dynamic driving experience, and its low-revving, smooth power delivery made it a joy to drive.
The 5.7L V8 has powered some of the most iconic Corvette models, including the C5 Corvette and parts of the C6 lineup, cementing its place in American automotive history as a symbol of performance, style, and engineering excellence.

Nope, GM really did that.



Remembering the Lotus-developed 5.7L LT5 V8 that powered the C4 Corvette ZR-1 - not to be confused with the supercharged LT5 in the C7 Corvette ZR1.
