Bluetooth speakers in the $100 to $200 range often promise big performance from small packages. Many deliver on volume or bass at first listen, only to reveal thin sound, weak build quality, or quick battery drain once real life enters the picture. The Bose SoundLink Flex 2nd Gen, priced at $99.99 (was $159), stands apart by focusing on the things that actually matter day after day.
Houston drivers caught an unusual sight not long ago when a long, dramatic shape from movie history appeared in regular traffic. The car stretched 20 to 22 feet, rode on a fiberglass body, and carried the unmistakable profile of the Batmobile from the 1989 Tim Burton film. What set this version apart was the fact that it actually drives on public roads, complete with lights, signals, and enough power to move its reported 19,000-pound mass.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed sets the stage for McLaren’s next release, the 788HS, which is promoted as the final iteration of a mid-engine V8 supercar line that began with the 720S in 2017 and has since included the 765LT and 750S. The 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 delivers 777 horsepower, a 37-horsepower improvement from the 750S. Not that it counts, but the torque remains at 590 pound-feet, and the engine continues to spin at 8500 rpm.
A walk through the trees turned up more than expected a few years ago. One person spotted a plastic Nintendo 64 cartridge half-hidden on the forest floor. Its paper labels had vanished completely, leaving no hint of what game sat inside. The finder brought it home, then passed it along to someone who fixes old consoles for a closer look.
NVIDIA turned its graphics card legacy into a series of physical GeForce trading cards that celebrate the moments and hardware that defined PC gaming for millions. Fourteen designs make up the first collection. They span from the company’s earliest multimedia processors to standout GPUs and the tech demos that pushed boundaries in real time.
China Dinosaurs Park in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, hosts Dinoconda as a standout attraction that opened on April 29, 2012. The steel coaster reaches 78.3 miles per hour, the highest top speed recorded for any 4D roller coaster. It stands 226 feet tall and stretches 3,445 feet along its track, placing it among just three 4D hypercoasters operating anywhere.
Mat Watson scored rare access to a European-spec prototype of the upcoming Toyota GR GT. The short session centered on startup and revs, but it revealed plenty about what Toyota Gazoo Racing has in store for 2027. This is no rebadged Supra or borrowed platform exercise. It stands as a clean-sheet flagship built to sit at the top of the GR lineup and carry forward the same obsessive spirit that once defined the Lexus LFA.
Lamborghini just released a new app built for the Apple Vision Pro. Current hybrid models from the lineup take center stage with high-fidelity digital versions ready for close examination. Models include the Temerario and Revuelto on the two-seater hypercar side while the Urus SE and Urus SE Performante bring the performance SUV offerings into view, with the latter appearing in complete detail ahead of its physical introduction at Goodwood. Two modes shape how each car appears. One mode places the model directly into the user’s real environment so it can occupy full scale next to existing furniture or adjust smaller to match available room. A second mode moves everything into a dedicated digital space created with Lamborghini’s design direction in mind.
Fiat has started sales of its smallest electric vehicle in America. The Topolino arrives with a starting price of $13,995 before destination fees and targets drivers who want something far simpler than a regular car. Pricing for the Topolino begins at that figure, with a $990 destination charge bringing the total to $14,985. Limited quantities of the 2026 models sit at select dealers now, and orders have opened for those who want one.
With some free time before his flight to Maker Faire Prague, Ivan Miranda chose to fill it with something ambitious rather than rest. He set out to design and build the smallest motorbike an adult could comfortably ride, yet compact enough to pack into a standard suitcase for air travel. The result became one of the most talked-about attractions once he reached the event.
