Venom F5 Crash, Lamborghini makes V8’s, Nissan VS Turbos

Hennessey Venom F5 Crash: Pushing Limits, 250 MPH failure

Last week, the Hennessey Venom F5, a hypercar with a mind-blowing top speed north of 300 mph, had a rough day on the track. While performing high-speed tests at the Kennedy Space Center, the $3 million beast lost control at around 250 mph, leading to a dramatic crash. On the brighter side, the driver walked away unharmed, but the car wasn’t so lucky. Here’s a video of the F5 reaching 221 MPH 2 weeks ago:

The Hennessey team was testing a new aerodynamic setup, and the incident underscores just how extreme these speed pursuits can be. It’s a stark reminder that when you’re dealing with nearly 2,000 horsepower, things can go sideways—literally—in the blink of an eye.

Lamborghini Makes V8 Supercars Now

Lambo just dropped its latest ride, the 2025 Lamborghini Temerario, and man, it's a game-changer. This beast isn’t just another flashy supercar—it’s a hybrid beast with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo and three electric motors, pushing out a crazy 920 horsepower. And get this: it’s the first Lambo to come with a drift mode, so you can get wild and slide around like a boss.

But don't think it’s all about brute strength. The Temerario packs some serious tech, like augmented reality navigation and a super light yet tough aluminum spaceframe. Inside, it’s all luxury with customizable displays and top-notch materials. What’s cool is that you can cruise around on electric power for short trips, making it a bit greener without losing any of that adrenaline rush.

Oh, and if you’re looking to make it even more of a rocket, you can opt for the Alleggerita package. That adds carbon fiber bits to trim down the weight and boost agility. In a nutshell, the Temerario is the perfect mix of high-tech, raw power, and classic Lamborghini style.

2025 Nissan Altima, Turbo No More

Alright, folks, Nissan's officially saying goodbye to the turbocharged Altima. Starting with the 2025 models, that zippy 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine is a goner. If you were all about that extra kick, this might be a bit of a bummer.

So, why’s Nissan doing this? Looks like they’re trimming down their lineup to keep things simple and save some cash. It makes sense for them, but it kinda sucks for those who enjoyed that turbo boost.

But hey, don’t hit the panic button just yet. The 2025 Altima’s still rocking the trusty 2.5-liter engine, which gets the job done pretty well. And they’re tossing in some new perks like the SV Special Edition Package, which adds a bunch of cool tech and style upgrades. Plus, you’re still getting all the standard safety features from Nissan’s Safety Shield 360.

Yeah, I guess the turbo was a blast while it lasted, but the Altima’s still a solid ride even without the extra horsepower. If you’re dead set on that turbo life, you might want to grab a 2024 model before they’re all snapped up.
