FIRST LOOK: SINGER ACS - the ultimate safari 911!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjN79k2SupA&feature=youtu.be

Quote:
What do you get when you cross a Porsche 911 reimagined by Singer with an off-road racing buggy? Well… this - the All-terrain Competition Study (ACS) - a co-developed project between Singer and British company Tuthill Porsche. Built at the request of a client who wanted an air-cooled 911 that could cope with the world’s most extreme off-road races, it pays homage to a golden era of Porsche rallying in the 1980s and to cars like the 959 Safari. It has four-wheel drive, a turbocharged flat-six, carbon panels, trick suspension and a stripped out interior, but still retains the outrageous attention to detail of all Singer’s creations. See it in action, allow Jack Rix to give you the full tour and hear from the man responsible for engineering this restomod monster – Richard Tuthill.

It's an ugly posing pos.

If it were REALLY the ultimate safari 911, it would be in the Paris Dakar instead of on that concrete floor.

A lot of new to me information in this video.

Porsche Top 5 Series: 959 Paris-Dakar Highlights
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZOubIycs4Q&feature=emb_logo

Quote:
Last year’s rally episode was missing one model - the legendary 959 Paris-Dakar. This time? We're dedicating an entire episode to the legend.

What would you want to see featured in a future Top 5 episode?

These guys take seats very seriously.

Check out the human spine contraption and the seat set up with a steering wheel in the showroom.

Not in English, it's beyond mere words.

I'd describe it as malevolent artlessness.

Not my thing personally.

There is no whit or irony to this "work", it's a failure of ideas and a pale copy of another person's pioneering work nearly 60 years ago.

Ran across this a while back. Imagine, directing the personalities of Shatner and Montalbon in Star Trek II Wrath of Kahn.

^^^ I was in Acapulco a few years ago and saw many chopped VW's. Some four door Beetles and lots of lowered and rodded out Beetles.
Those and Nissans add up to about half their cars.

Bladeless (Propeller-less) Drone Concept
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2UCK3pCFjk&t=158s

Quote:
The traditional #Drones​ with propellers are harmful as they can cause cuts to humans and birds. Also, if the drones accidentally hit an obstacle, the delicate propellers can easily get damaged.

This Propeller-less Drone concept gets rid of such risks and uses the #Dyson​ Bladeless Fan technology to not only become harmless, but also sustainable, as it need 40% less energy, could be upto 15 times more powerful and uses sustainable materials for several parts of the body.

and how will they keep it from spinning in the opposite direction of the impeller?

Traditional Drones have equal mass spinning.. 2 CW, 2 CCW

This has one big impeller spinning in 1 direction, so the body will spin the other way .
