Earlier this month, Porsche Classic auctioned a special one-off car dedicated to the Porsche Club of America: the 911 Classic Club Coupe.

The Hennessey H700 upgrade for the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray takes its performance to a whole new level. With a supercharged upgrade that maintains the full functions of the factory vehicle, this mid-engined supercar delivers unmatched power and precision.

John “Heinrocket” Heinricy, Chief Engineer for Hennessey’s Venom F5 program, recently shared his insights after testing the H700 on the track at the Pennzoil Proving Ground. He was initially in awe of its extraordinary specifications, producing a roaring 708 bhp and 638 lb-ft of torque. The combination of this raw power and the C8’s exceptional control amazed him.

The H700 package also comes with Hennessey’s 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty, highlighting its reliability.

CURATED Unearths The Hidden “P0” Lamborghini Diablo Prototype

CURATED has recently discovered a unique Lamborghini Diablo prototype known as the Diablo SE30 Prototipo #P0. This particular Diablo is considered one of the most important ever produced and holds significant historical value for Lamborghini.

Originally developed between 1992 and 1997, the Diablo SE30 Prototipo started its life as the X-L30 Prototipo. Designed by renowned car designer Horacio Pagani, this one-off model was created to commemorate Lamborghini’s 30th anniversary and was unveiled to the public in September 1993.

During its development, the Diablo Prototype featured the iconic Purple “Lambo Thirty” paintwork, which has become synonymous with Lamborghini’s anniversary models. It also served as a testing ground for lightweight materials, showcasing Lamborghini’s dedication to innovation in the automotive industry.

According to an unpublished Lamborghini document from 1998, the Diablo SE30 Prototipo #P0 was one of the fastest Diablos ever produced, boasting an impressive 620hp compared to the standard SE30’s power output. This prototype also had unique features such as carbon fiber door panels, a distinctive center console, bespoke wheels and body panels, and rare Lexan windows. It showcased the brand’s commitment to pushing boundaries in design and performance.

After almost two decades in hiding, the Diablo SE30 Prototipo #P0 has resurfaced. Its significance lies in its representation of Lamborghini’s rich history, dedication to innovation, and the timeless appeal of their high-performance automobiles.

To view this remarkable Lamborghini Diablo prototype and explore other curated vehicles, you can visit CURATED’s website.

You Can Use ChatGPT As A Language Translator (But Here’s Why You Might Not Want To)

Google Translate offers a user-friendly interface for translating text. However, ChatGPT can also function as a translation tool, albeit with a different approach. While it lacks dedicated language selection boxes, it is still a sophisticated option. Users can provide additional information in the text boxes to specify the desired translation perspective or context.

Make Use Of suggests that by adding phrases like “Translate [text to translate] to English from the perspective of someone discussing the COVID-19 pandemic,” the translation can be tailored accordingly. This contextual information helps ChatGPT use the most appropriate words in the translated output, enhancing the accuracy beyond a literal translation.

By providing such details to ChatGPT, users can potentially overcome challenges like gendered forms in languages such as French. However, there are several factors to consider, and ChatGPT may not always be the optimal choice for translation purposes.

10 Things The ASUS RoG Ally Can Do Better Than The Steam Deck

The ASUS RoG Ally has several advantages over the Steam Deck, starting with its favorable form factor. It is lighter, weighing only 1.34 pounds compared to the Steam Deck’s 1.47 pounds. The RoG Ally is also less cumbersome, with a thickness that is less than half of the Steam Deck’s.

Furthermore, the RoG Ally has a more comfortable design. Unlike the Steam Deck, it doesn’t have trackpads, which allows for a better layout of the analog sticks, d-pad, and buttons. This results in a controller-like feel that console gamers are familiar with, resembling an Xbox One Controller. The Steam Deck, on the other hand, had to compromise the d-pad and buttons’ size to accommodate the trackpads.

Overall, the RoG Ally’s form factor makes it not only more portable but also the preferred choice for console gamers in terms of comfort.

City Document Reveals E3 2024 And 2025 Have Already Been Canceled

In recent years, independent showcases by platform leaders and standalone events from big-name studios have overshadowed E3, stealing its thunder. Furthermore, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Games Fest show now dominates the June slot that was once reserved for E3 announcements.

Opinions on E3 differ. In a podcast interview with VGC earlier this month, Keighley said, “I think E3 sort of killed itself in a way.” The absence of Microsoft and Sony, the platform overlords, from E3 has reduced the incentive for the event. Additionally, the recent rivalries and conflicts over multi-billion acquisitions have driven the competitors further apart.

It is possible that Xbox and PlayStation may never share the E3 stage again, especially given the tension between Microsoft and Sony over the Activision Blizzard fiasco. In June, Microsoft hosted its Xbox Games showcase event, followed by a dedicated show for a Starfield deep-dive. On July 11, the company will host the next ID@Xbox Showcase to reveal trailers and gameplay details of new titles. Sony and Nintendo also held their own events in June, and Keighley had his own gaming event during the same window. This does not mean that E3 is doomed, but the opportunity for E3 to regain its former glory is diminishing.

Razer Introduces Skins for Xbox Series X, PS5, Steam Deck, and Laptops

Razer, Inc. is a company that was established in 2005 and operates in both the United States and Singapore. Over the years, they have developed a wide range of technology products, including consumer electronics and gaming hardware. The brand is particularly known for its sleek and modern design, especially in the gaming industry. Their product lineup includes webcams, headsets, charging stands for game controllers, gaming mice, and even gaming chairs. In addition to these, Razer also offers its own line of gaming laptops and innovative devices that enhance the gaming experience, such as the Kishi V2, a controller that can be attached to an iPhone to transform it into a mobile gaming console.

While some of the products offered by Razer are a bit unique, like their environmentally-conscious reusable straws, they have also recently released more conventional items. For instance, in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company launched the Razer Zephyr, an air-purifying face mask priced at $100. This mask was compatible with N95 filters and featured two-speed fans. One might be surprised to learn that Razer took quite some time to introduce custom skins for devices like MacBooks and Steam Decks, considering it aligns with their brand. However, it is expected that Razer will release more patterns and potentially skins for other devices in the future.

Review of the 2023 Kia Telluride X-Pro: A Midsize SUV with Luxurious Ruggedness

The space in the Kia Telluride is good across all three rows. The second-row captain’s chairs are equipped with ventilation, which is a nice touch. They are just as comfortable as the first-row seats and can slide forward and backward. There are buttons on the side to make accessing the third row easier. If you prefer a second-row bench, you’ll have to go for the lower Telluride trims, as it is not available in the X-Pro.

In the third row, there is enough space for at least two adults or three children, although it does compromise the legroom in the second row. Even with all three rows up, there is still an impressive 21 cubic feet of cargo space. However, if you need more space, you can easily fold down the second and third rows using the buttons and cords provided, expanding the trunk to 46 cubic feet or a maximum of 87 cubic feet.

Telluride steering wheelChris Davies/SlashGear

The infotainment system in the Telluride is comprehensive, allowing you to access features like Driver Talk, which transmits the driver’s voice through the rear cabin speakers for effective communication. However, it only supports wired connections for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, not wireless. Kia has included physical controls for the HVAC and multimedia functions, as well as additional controls in the center console for drive modes and other drivetrain settings. One feature I appreciate is Kia’s Auto Hold, which remains active even after restarting the SUV, unlike many other competitors’ systems.
