TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested

TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested

The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track. Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine

Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems. And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim.

Google Glass app store could arrive in 2014 along with public release

If you've been following the rumor mill, it's beginning to look more and more like the public release of Google Glass wont be available until sometime next year. While never officially announced, Google's own Sergey Brin was once quoted as saying he'd like to see Glass released as early as this year – so we remained hopeful. More recently, Computerworld was told from one of their insiders that the new target was sometime in 2014 and now, a new report from the New York Times is corroborating that information.

Apple will hold a second iPhone event on September 11 in China

Apple will hold a second iPhone event on September 11 in China

Apple sent out invites for its iPhone unveiling event yesterday, scheduled for September 10. Chinese media, however, is getting different invites for the following day – it seems that Tim Cook's negotiations with China Mobile's chairman have paid off. China Mobile is the world's biggest carrier with 740 million subscribers and yet Apple had no deal with it, having partnered only with China's second and third carriers. The issue was with China Mobile's non-standard 3G and 4G tech, which was not supported by the chipsets Apple was using.

Cut through the rain at Ludicrous Speed, just like Dark Helmet

Forgive the Spaceballs reference, but I thought of Dark Helmet when I saw this umbrella from Brando.  The Helmet Umbrella is 37″ long, 28.4″ in diameter, and weighs 14 ounces.  It's big enough to keep your shoulders and even a backpack or gear bag dry.  It comes with a carrying sheath and seems to be available only in camouflage for $29.00.

Microsoft Believes Xbox One Is Worth $100 More Than The PS4

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are very different consoles, not only in terms of games, but features as well, although one main difference would also be its price. The Xbox One is priced $100 more than the PlayStation 4 and to some gamers, the difference of $100 is a big deal and could be considered a deal-breaker, but Microsoft doesn't seem to think so. In fact Microsoft is pretty confident about its Xbox One console and has stated that they believe the console is worth $100 more than the PS4.
