A single customer handed Porsche’s Sonderwunsch team a nearly new 2018 911 GT2 RS with the Weissach package and asked for something that had not existed in decades. The result is the Flachbau RS, a factory one-off that stretches the front of a modern turbocharged 911 into the flat, purposeful silhouette once reserved for the most extreme racing cars of the late 1970s.
High in the Swiss Alps, frozen lakes hide risks that surface checks often miss. Snow piles up, presses the ice sheet down, and new layers form on top. Thin spots or cracks stay invisible until someone or something falls through. For more than a century people have cut holes by hand, measured with tape, and hoped the ice held for skating, racing, or simple crossings. In 1907 St. Moritz turned that hope into spectacle with skijoring, horses pulling skiers across the ice. The tradition continues, yet the dangers remain. In 2017 a crack swallowed horses during an event. Manual surveys still demand hours of chainsaw work and firefighters on standby, and they only sample a few points while ice thickness can change across short distances.
Keys sneak into couch cushions, wallets slip behind desks, and luggage disappears from the airport carousel. For years, Android users saw Apple’s AirTag handle routine disappearances, while Google delegated the task to third-party devices. That gap was bridged this week. Google developed its own finder, the Pixel Tag, a small oblong tracker designed to travel alongside the items people really lose.
Marvel waited until a late Friday panel at D23 to put the latest look at Avengers: Doomsday in front of everyone. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Hayley Atwell walked out with Kevin Feige to introduce it. What followed is a tight, two-minute special look that centers almost entirely on the man in the mask and the wreckage he seems to have left behind.
McLaren just showed a car that feels like it time-traveled from a different era of sports cars while still wearing every modern material trick the company knows. Revealed during Monterey Car Week, the McL 6GT is a low, wide, carbon-fiber machine that will reach customers in 2028 as a limited-production model of roughly 500 examples. Pricing sits in the neighborhood of $1.5 million. What makes people stop and look twice is the third pedal and the tall gear lever rising from the center console.
