A rare 1980s red Ferrari 288 GTO sports car worth more $2.2m (₦792 million) was stolen during test drive.

The suspect and the seller went on a test drive for around six miles from Dusseldorf to Neuss, during which the seller got out of the car to swap places with the would-be buyer. 



But when the French-speaking buyer got into the driver's seat, he accelerated and drove off. The would-be buyer was caught on camera next to the car (Picture above) before he made off with it.

The red Ferarri 288 GTO , one of just 272 models that Ferrari built between 1984 and 1987, was the most powerful and fastest sports car Ferrari ever built in the 80s.It has only 42,532 accident-free kilometres on the clock. 



The rare car was later found hidden in a garage in the town of Grevenbroich, about 18 miles southwest of Düsseldorf, but police are still hunting for the suspect.

One of the previous owners of the red Ferarri 288 GTO includes Ferrari driver Eddie Irvine, a teammate of F1 legend Michael Schumacher.

State-owned China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) has unveiled a prototype for a new high-speed  Magnetic-levitation (Maglev) train  that will carry engers at speeds of up to 373 mph (600 km/h).

The new high-tech floating bullet train is scheduled to go into commercial production in 2021 .

CRRC deputy chief engineer Ding Sansan, head of the train's research and development team, said
"Take Beijing to Shanghai as an example — counting preparation time for the journey, it takes about 4.5 hours by Plane, about 5.5 hours by High-speed rail, and would only take about 3.5 hours with the new high-speed Maglev"





The new bullet train will be able to reach these extreme speed as it will float on a magnetically powered cushion of air instead of using wheels that are in constant with a track . This reduces friction and allows the craft to reach incredibly fast speeds.

China already has the world’s fastest commercial maglev service in operation, which reaches 267mph (431 km/h) on its 18.6 mile (30km) journey between Shanghai’s airport and city center.

Back in 2015, Japan Railway maglev train achieved a new world speed record of 375 mph (603 km/h) on an experimental track in Yamanashi in 2015.

The Asian country is also building a 314 mph (505 km/h) Maglev rail line between Tokyo and Nagoya that’s due to open in 2027.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar arrived at Brazil’s national team headquarters near Rio de Janeiro on Saturday as the South American country begins its preparations for next month’s Copa America tournament.

The 27 year old winger was seen arriving by a black Eurocopter EC130B4 helicopter with his initials "NJR" (for Neymar Junior) at Brazil's training centre in Granja Comary, Rio de Janeiro. The other eight players - who have been training for the past six days - had come by car.





The former FC Barcelona star returned to action in April after spending three months on the sidelines with a metatarsal injury.

He has scored 60 goals in 96 appearances for Brazil so far and is 17 goals behind Pele in the list of Brazil's all-time record goalscorers.  

Brazil will play two friendlies against Qatar and Honduras before the Copa America tournament next month.

Dozens of luxury cars seized from cartels, gangsters and corrupt politicians will be auctioned off on Sunday as part of a populist anti-corruption crusade being waged by Mexico’s leftist president,Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador,who is just six months into his six-year term, has vowed that proceeds from Sunday’s auction will be channelled into social programmes and deprived communities.

Currently, there are 82 seized vehicles up for sale including Lamborghinis, a 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe and Ford F-150 Shelby. Other cars include Corvettes, Mustangs, Hummers, Mercedes, Porsches, Camaros, Jaguars, Jeeps, and more average cars like a Fiat 500 and a Smart ForTwo.

Ricardo Rodriguez, head of the newly created Institute to Return Stolen Goods to the People, said:

“Before, this worked like a reverse Robin Hood ... taking from the people and giving to the corrupt. Not anymore"

The first auction, set for Sunday, will seek bids for 77 vehicles with a total starting price of around $1.5 million. The vehicles up for auction include Porsches, Corvettes, Mercedes-Benzes, a Mustang convertible and a 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago.

The proceeds of this auction will go to two municipalities in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, one of the poorest in the country.

Subsequent auctions, including one that will offload three seized homes worth around $7 million and another that will sell seized jewelry, will benefit a youth drug rehabilitation program and impoverished mountain communities in the state of Guerrero.

Since taking office in December, Lopez Obrador has rolled out a string of welfare programs for the poor and the elderly, cut salaries for top civil servants and said he is saving public money by eliminating corruption.





The Mexican president, who has shunned luxurious lifestyle and drives a modest white Volkswagen Jetta, added that two cars and an ambulance donated by the King of Jordan will go to the National Guard, a new security force.

A 42 year old Motorist is hoping to make some cool cash selling his "X3 MNC" number plate that fits perfectly with Manchester City's recent domestic treble competition success.

After the Newcastle fan totaled his BMW S3 three months after buying it in 2017 , he decided to keep the number plate in the hope that one day Man City would win the Premier League, Carabao Cup and FA Cup.



He has now listed the plate on eBay with a starting bid of just £250 ( ₦114k) but hopes a rich Man City fan will pick it up for thousands of pounds .

He said:

"I think it's an ideal opportunity for a fan to treat themselves and to rub others noses in it.

"As I am a Newcastle fan I never have a reason to celebrate. I'm never going to have that opportunity so to be able to give another fan that chance is the next best thing.

"If I could wave a magic wand, I'd have Raheem Sterling make me an offer. I'm sure he has a few bob spare.

"I always kept hold of it in the hope they'd go on to win the treble.

"But there's no two ways about it - this is something a true fan can't afford to turn down.

"Someone can the treble in style. It's the ultimate football memorabilia."

Robots have already displaced key blue-collar jobs across the US and plans are on to also replace Truck Drivers.

Will Self Driving Trucks Replace Nigerian Truck Drivers In let's say 20 to 30 years time ?

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) on Tuesday started a two-week test to deliver mails across three Southwestern states (Arizona, New Mexico and Texas) using San Diego-based startup TuSimple's self-driving trucks.

The self-driving trucks will haul mail between USPS facilities in Phoenix and Dallas to see how the tech might improve delivery times and costs. A safety driver will sit behind the wheel to intervene if necessary and an engineer will be in the enger seat.

The mail deliveries will be done in TuSimple's Class 8 heavy-duty trucks fitted with eight-camera array, which uses lidar and radar to “see” 1,000 meters in all directions.

The pilot program involves five round trips, each totaling more than 2,100 miles (3,380 km) or an estimated 45 hours of driving. It is unclear whether self-driving mail delivery will continue after the two-week pilot.



If successful, it would mark an achievement for the autonomous driving industry and a possible solution to the driver shortage faced by freight haulers across the US .

According to American Trucking Associations , transport companies need roughly 60,000 extra drivers due to the growing shortage of drivers.

Also in Europe, there are 150,000 unfilled truck driver positions, according to Transport Intelligence, a logistics research company.

Here's How Long Muslims Have To Fast For Ramadan Across The World

J.D. Power ,a company that conducts surveys of customer satisfaction, product quality, and buyer behavior for industries ranging from cars to marketing and advertising firms, has revealed Peugeot as the most reliable auto brand on the market.

The data from J.D Power study was based on responses from 11,530 owners of new vehicles ed between 2015 to 2018. J.D Power's study measures the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100) to rank brands in of reliability.

Eight different categories, that includes the exterior, driving experience, in-car controls, seats, heating, A.C , interior and engine, were tested to find out which motors experienced the most faults.

French automaker Peugeot, with only 77 faults reported per 100 cars, outranked all other automakers while German carmaker BMW with 181 faults per 100 vehicles, was the least reliable brand on the market.



According to the report, vehicles like BMW, Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz are more likely to have a fault than volume-selling models, as these cars are more likely to be fitted with the latest in-built navigation equipment.

Head of European operations at J.D Power, said:
"When we look at the PP100 scores of relatively new safety technologies, it’s clear that manufacturers still have work to do to perfect those systems—particularly brands that use them as a major selling point.

"It’s also going to be vital for vehicle makers to win customer trust in this technology if they are to convince potential buyers that fully automated vehicles in the future will be reliable.

"For example, such buyers are quite likely to question the safety of self-driving cars if brands still struggle with the accuracy of their navigation systems"

Meet fifteen-year-old Hope Emmanuel Frank from Akwa Ibom who has been wowing people with his rare engineering talents.

Hope uses woods , condemned laptop batteries and syringe to make an excavator and a dump truck , and a change over switch to control them.

In this BBC Pidgin One Minute Story, Hope said he dreams of becoming one of world's great inventors like Nicholas Tesla and Michael Faraday .



He also said :

“When people see me on the street operating my excavator and tipper, they are usually surprised. Some of them dash me money"

“The first time I saw an excavator, I thought, oh, let me just try this. I did the skeleton part and the flex, but it was not all that enough, like how to get them to move was my problem. I then thought of the idea of using a drip-set replacing the hose in the real excavator and the syringe works as the boom.

“For the tipper remote, I used a change over-switch for the forward and backward drive. I used condemned laptop batteries as my source of power in the tipper.”



The teenager also added that he plans on working on a helicopter flown with a wireless remote.

“My next project will be a payloader that can work and a helicopter that will fly with wireless remote. In the future, I want to be one of the world’s greatest inventors"

Geniuses from the popular Russian YouTube channel AcademeG,which has 3.5million subscribers ,have replaced a Bentley Continental GT coupe's wheels with tank-like tracks, creating a formidable machine they call the Ultratank - what a perfect name for this luxurious beast.





This Ultratank,which many believed to be the most luxurious tank on the Planet, is able handle steep grades and off-road driving.

Speaking in a video ed to their channel on May 9, the presenter of AcademeG, declares that they have accomplished success with a crucial part of the project.

There is still work for the Russian specialists to do on the Ultratank - there are no doors yet, so dust and debris comes off the moving tread and into the cabin.



The brake pedal also doesn't currently work. The Russians said it will be added later, but for now the steering wheel is being used to slow the vehicle down.

There are also powertrain tweaks to make. The specialist wants the Ultratank to be able to reach 62 miles per hour ,but it currently tops out at around 31 mph .

Japan on Friday started a three years' worth of test runs of its fastest-ever Shinkansen bullet train ,called the Alpha-X, that is capable of reaching 400 kilometers per hour (249 mph) .

Alpha-X ,which stands for Advanced Labs for Frontline Activity in rail eXperimentation)
will be tested twice a week on the line between the cities of Sendai and Aomori, which are about 280 kilometers apart. All the Tests will be carried out after midnight when the line is quiet.

The futuristic Alpha-X train,which features 10 cars and 72 feet long pointed nose to minimize the pressure and noise when ing through tunnels, is scheduled to go into service in 2030. Once it enters operation in eleven years time , Rail company JR East plans to operate it at speeds of up to 360 kph (224 mph), making it the world's fastest bullet train.





That would make it 10 kph faster than China’s Fuxing Hao, which links Beijing and Shanghai and has the same top speed capabilities as the ALFA-X.

No matter what speeds the ALFA-X achieves during its test runs, it won't match the record-breaking speed of Japan Railway's magnetic levitation ( maglev) train that reached 603 kph (374 mph) on an experimental track in 2015.

Japan's World-renowned high speed Shinkansen trains are rarely late, with each bullet-train departing Tokyo Station every few minutes for Osaka, Kyoto and other destinations, making them a viable alternative to air travel.

In celebration of Land Rover’s ongoing partnership with Virgin Galactic, Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations has unveiled the Limited-edition Range Rover Astronaut Edition SUV that is only available to those who sign up to be a Virgin Galactic Future Astronaut.

That means this wheel of the luxury SUV can only be bought by roughly 700 space tourists who have spent $250,000 or ₦90m to take Virgin SpaceShipTwo spaceplane to the edge of Space.



The exterior of the Astronaut Edition SUV is swathed in the one-off Zero Gravity Blue paint job, which Land Rover says is "inspired by the depth and intensity of the night sky."





The only other major additions to the exterior are a set of puddle lamps, which bear the silhouette of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo craft, and some Astronaut Edition badges on the side and tailgate.

Inside, the cupholders carry a piece of the Virgin Spaceship Unity's front landing skid, one of which has a Richard Branson quote on it, but it'll be swapped out for a piece of that astronaut's own ship after the flight ends.





There's a unique "DNA of Flight" graphic on the center console and rear armrest. The door handles are made from solid aluminum and carry a constellation pattern, and it's repeated on the back of each front headrest. Space tourists can also have their initials stitched on the headrests.

The Range Rover Astronaut Edition comes with two powertrains, one with a 518-hp 5.0-liter V8, the other with the 398-hp P400e plug-in hybrid system.

The Yaxi Expressway, a section of the Beijing-Kunming highway, is a 240-kilometer (149-mile), ladderlike and snakelike road that reaches for the sky.What makes it unique is that with each kilometer, the roadway ascends by 7.5 meters.

The $4.14 b (or ₦1.5trillion) bridge was officially opened to motorists in April 2012 after five years of construction. It features 270 viaducts and 25 tunnels ( total length of the 25 tunnels along the road is about 41 kilometers) and runs from Ya'an to Xichang, Sichuan province.











More than half of the expressway are tunnels and viaducts through mountains. During the five-year project, construction engineers and workers had to overcome geological hazards such as gas, water spouting, faults and rocks bursting.

The expressway was designed to minimize impact on the environment while the spiral tunnels were used to reduce the effect on mountains.

It has become a tourist attraction, even to automakers like Jaguar , who took its XJ limousine to the spectacular road to find out how innovation in road technology and design is helping to match the improving ride of modern luxury cars.

Former Manchester United,Real Madrid and England football star David Beckham has been banned from driving for six months after he was caught using his mobile phone behind the wheel.

A court heard he was photographed by a member of the public holding a phone while driving his luxury Bentley car in London's West End on November 21.

Prosecutor Matthew Spratt,said:
"Instead of looking straight forward, paying attention to the road, he appeared to be looking at his lap"

"He (the witness) says that the defendant was operating a handheld device at knee level. At that moment a photograph was taken."





The 44 year old star ,who boasts of Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Bentley Bentayga,Cadillac Escalade, Bentley Mulsanne and a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drop Head Coupe to mention a few , received six points on his licence to add to the six he already had for previous speeding matters.

He was also fined £750, ordered to pay £100 in prosecution costs and a £75 surcharge fee within seven days.

Beckham's defence barrister Gerrard Tyrrell said the former Man U midfielder had "no recollection of the day in question or this particular incident".

He added:
"There is no excuse for what took place but his view is that he cannot ."
