This Isn’t a Toy Car, Just the F2 Gaming Emulation Handheld That Can Play SNES Games and More

A Lenovo Legion Go is perfect for PC gaming on-the-go, but for something a bit more conspicuous, you’ll want the F2 Gaming Emulation Handheld. Aside from looking like a diecast toy car, it features a 3.0-inch IPS LCD screen and has a 1,800mAh battery, which is definitely good enough for all-day gaming on a single charge.

Since the F2 isn’t as powerful as the Analogue Pocket, it is not compatible with original game cartridges nor can the console emulate more modern systems like the PSP, SEGA Dreamcast, or GameCube. Fortunately, the F2 has TV output so you’ll be able to game on a larger screen, rather than deal with its tiny 3.0-inch screen. Still interested? You can get one for $41.93 shipped for Cyber Monday here.

1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Hero Car from Wolf of Wall Street Could be Yours

Remember the wrecked 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Hero Car from ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’? Well, it could be yours for the right price, as the vehicle is headed to auction.

This isn’t a kit car, but the actual US-spec 25th Anniversary model finished in Bianco Polo over Bianco interior driven by Leonardo DiCaprio It has been preserved in as-filmed condition and includes a Jordan Belfort costume, director’s chair, a clapboard signed by Scorsese, DiCaprio, as well as Robbie, two crew hoodies, and two DVDs of the film. You can see it in person at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi and expected to fetch between $1,500,000 – $2,000,000 USD.

Since its final scene wrapped, the Hero Car has been meticulously preserved in the same condition it last flaunted on the big screen, an undisturbed time capsule of the film’s unbridled debauchery and infamous extravagance. For the first time since its cinematic debut, the Hero Car emerges from its sanctuary,” said Bonhams.

Man Builds Road Legal Bumper Car Modeled After 1953 Lusse Auto Skooter

Street legal flying cars are nothing new, but this road legal bumper car modeled after a 1953 Lusse Auto Skooter. Dan Hryhorcoff wanted a project to work on during the pandemic, so this idea popped into his head after remembering a vehicle he saw at an amusement park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania called Knoebels.

Power comes from a Chevrolet Aveo-sourced 1.6L 4-cylinder engine making 108 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque, while the front of the bumper car is a single motorcycle wheel. This means this street legal bumper can can turn very sharply. It measures 13 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 5.5 feet tall, making it twice the size of a standard bumper car that you see in amusement parks, but the pole out back is just for aesthetics.

I decided to copy one of those. I measured, and took photos, and made templates, and whatever I needed to, to copy the car as well as I can. Any project I’ve ever chose was a project that I knew I can get through it, but I had something new to learn in the process. There were always some unknowns. I’d rather big projects, rather than a dozen little ones,” said Hryhorcoff.

Inventor Transforms Hot Wheels Toy Into an FPV R/C Car

When is a Hot Wheels toy not just something you race around a track? When Max Imagination turns one into a functional FPV R/C car. This 1:64 scale project is based on Arduino boards, including an ESP32 WiFi microprocessors to run web applications for both car control and the First-Person-View video feed.

It also comes equipped with a small high-speed, brushed DC motor with its own motor driver as well as a micro servo for steering, all with proportional control. A smartphone is used to control the Hot Wheels car, while a second device slots into a VR headset for the first person view.

NVIDIA Jetson AI-Powered Sunswift 7 is World’s Fastest Solar Electric Car Over 1000km

Photo credit: UNSW Sydney / Richard Freeman
UNSW Sydney’s Sunswift 7 is currently the world’s fastest solar electric car over 1000km and NVIDIA Jetson AI helps give it an edge across its 100 automotive monitoring / power management systems. It recently won the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (Cruiser Class) from Darwin to Adelaide.

NVIDIA Jetson AI can also determine whether it should drive faster or slower based on weather forecasts. For example, Sunswift 7 will alert the driver to go faster if rain is expected later in the day when conditions would force the car to slow down. The team built nearly 60 design iterations to improve the vehicle’s aerodynamics, using computational fluid dynamics modeling and simulations to analyze each version.

It’s a completely different proposition to say we can use the least amount of energy and arrive in Adelaide before anybody else, but crossing the line first is just about bragging rights. Every single team member needs to understand what they’re doing and what their role is on the team and perform at the very best during those five-and-a-half days,” said Richard Hopkins, project manager at Sunswift and a UNSW professor.

Inventor of the Original Hoverboard Unveils SHANE, an Unusual Two-Wheeled Electric Car

Sure, there’s an F1 wheel hoverboard, but the inventor of the original, Shane Chen, unveils his latest creation: SHANE. This unusual two-wheeled electric car is touted to be practical and efficient for everyday urban as well as highway use.

For maximum stability, SHANE essentially has a shifting center of gravity relative to its wheels to counter the torque generated by driving, thus making the vehicle as safe as its four-wheeled counterparts. Two wheel differential speed control make maneuverability and parking a breeze. Its large wheels minimize rolling resistance while in-wheel regenerative shocks conserve damping energy to recharge the battery. There’s no word yet on if or when we’ll see a functional prototype.

Two-wheeled have simply not been practical or stable enough for everyday driving, until now. I was excited to create a car concept with two that can go at high speeds and be energy efficient. I truly believe SHANE will make a difference in how we approach mobility and I look forward to collaborating with partners to bring this concept to life, said Shane Chen, Inventist Founder.
