Some 25 Of McLaren s Most Dedicated And Well-heeled Customers Have Splashed Out £3million On Its Latest Ultra-exclusive Hypercar Unveiled Over The Weekend - But Kids Have Been Driving It In Their Bedrooms For Five Years
McLaren says the new Solus GT is a 'stunning realisation of a concept car from the screens of virtual racing into an extreme expression of track driving engagement that will exhilarate in the real world'
The driver is understood to have been an accomplished off-road driver who knew the site 'like the back of his hand', with roll-bars fitted to the off-road vehicle said to have prevented an even greater tragedy.
Looking down from above at the car, it's a heavily chiselled shape that's dictated by the angular aero pods on each of the four wheels that are there to reduce turbulent airflow and cover the double-wishbone suspension arms
McLaren says the arrival of the Solus GT - formerly known as the 'Vision Gran Turismo' - is the 'stunning realisation of a concept car from the screens of virtual racing into an extreme expression of track driving engagement that will exhilarate in the real world'.
Mei said the trend of Chinese entrepreneurs setting up base in Singapore as a beachhead for Southeast Asia, was likely to bring capital and new business opportunities in sectors such as digital media and gaming.
It is powered by a naturally-aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine that revs beyond 10,000rpm and develops 840bhp with a wailing soundtrack that can be heard in its ear-splitting glory in the promotional video of it being trashed around the Jerez circuit in Spain while cloaked in a camouflage wrap.
'Two paramedic officers, four ambulances, two critical care paramedics from the Midlands Air Ambulance charity, HART paramedics and the Midlands Air Ambulance helicopter from Cosford with medics on board attended the scene.
'And Www.fles.Hlc.edu.Tw it's nice when I walk down the hallway and I hear, 'Waddup Beast?" For whatever reason, he calls me 'Beast' all the time. I don't think I give off the beast vibe, but and we'll just take it day by day.'
In a streamed online keynote address, Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang on Tuesday introduced the company's newest "Ada Lovelace" series of graphics chips, named for the 19th-century British mathematician regarded as an early pioneer in computer science.
The profile is sculpted like the body of a Formula One machine and behind the sliding canopy is a letterbox-style intake that feeds cool air into the engine bay to modulate the temperature of the 10-cylinder powerplant
Because Tunic doesn't simply copy the Zelda formula — it complicates it. There are items you pick up, berries and little effigies, that you've never encountered before, in this game or any other. And you're not told what to do with them. Nor, in fact, are you really told much else.
McLaren says the 25 customer cars will weigh under 1,000kg - so less than a tiny city car - and its aerodynamic package has been honed in the company's wind tunnel and is said to generate in excess of 1,200kg of downforce.
Figure things out. Perhaps you'll need to consult one of Tunic's most delightful features — an in-game manual, half of it written in cryptic runes, that you literally piece together page by page — or perhaps you won't. However you go about it, the feeling of sheer discovery is tremendous.
'A girl was given treatment at the scene for non-life threatening injuries before being conveyed to Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
A man, a woman and a second boy were also taken to the same hospital as a precaution for further checks.'
To be honest, it looks just like the land of Link's Awakening...or a dozen other Zelda games. It's bright green, punctuated by clumps of grass, and shown from above. Down the path, there's a ruined village and some dungeons that need explorin'.
Nvidia designs its chips but has them manufactured by partners. Huang said the chips will be made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufaturing (TSMC) with its "4N" chip manufacturing technology, a change from Nvidia's previous generation of flagship gaming chips, which were made by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.
And owners might be able to get some pointers on how to set the fastest times by speaking to gamers of all ages, because the car originally debuted in virtual form in racing favoruite Gran Turismo Sport back in 2017.
Some 25 of McLaren's most dedicated and well-heeled customers have splashed out £3million on its latest ultra-exclusive hypercar unveiled over the weekend - but kids have been driving it in their bedrooms for five years.
Computing what each pixel on the screen should look like is hard, so Nvidia chips use AI to predict how some pixels should look without doing the entire set of computations. The Lovelace chips have extended that technique to generate entire frames of a game using AI.
Come to think of it, maybe 'complications' isn't the word.
'Embellishments' might be better. Tunic's world is so beautiful in both its sun-dappled, well, beauty and its clockwork design that it deserves to be described in softer terms. It's like holding a Fabergé egg in your hands.
Wuebbling also said the chips will not contain a so-called hash-rate limiter, a technology Nvidia put in its previous generation of chips to limit their use in mining the cryptocurrency Ethereum, because of recent changes in how that currency is tracked.
