New Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport featuring natural-fibre body parts

Description

Three years after the premiere of the first Cayman GT4 Clubsport, Porsche now unveils its successor: The new 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport represents a consequent further development of the successful model from Weissach. For the first time, the near-standard mid-engine racer comes in two versions ex-works: the “Trackday” model for ambitious amateur racing drivers and the “Competition” variant for national and international motor racing.In developing the new 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, the focus was put not only on further improved driveability and faster lap times but also on the sustainable use of raw materials. The 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport is the first ever production race car to feature body parts made of natural-fibre composite material. The driver and co-driver doors and the rear wing are made of an organic fibre mix, which are sourced primarily from agricultural by-products such as flax or hemp fibres and feature similar properties to carbon fibre in terms of weight and stiffness.

  • Natural Born Painkillers - Farmer Lets Scorpions Sting Him to Treat Body Aches

    Some scorpions can kill human beings, and it's no wonder that some people are deathly afraid of them. However, one man, a Cuban farmer named Julio Casanas, is not only not afraid, he purposefully allows scorpions to sting him regularly in order to treat his pain. There are over 1750 different species of scorpions and the fearsome arachnids can be found on every continent except for Antarctica. However, only 25 of those are known to have venom that can kill a human. Most of the time, scorpion stings are simply unpleasant and won't do human beings much harm, and, in Julio's case, may even do some good. The Cuban farmer showed Ruptly how he treats his body pains by allowing scorpions to sting him, Julio appears to be in good health at his farm in Los Palacios, and getting stung by scorpions actually appears to be helping. However, we definitely don't recommend trying Julio's natural remedy at home. Scorpion stings can have nasty effects, and some are even deadly, so if you are stung by a scorpion, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

  • New VR Tech Gets You Under the Hood of Your Car Without the Grease

    As virtual reality tech develops, we are discovering new uses for VR every day. Any mechanic will tell you how many parts any vehicle can have, and how it's not always clear what repairs are needed to fix an issue. The Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research displayed its VR solution for car repairs, which allows users to see a full 3D model of all the parts a car can have, at the 2017 CeBIT digital expo in Hanover on Sunday, . The system is designed specifically for mechanics, but may soon be available commercially. The technology can be used to show a mechanic where he has to look for repairs inside a car or where to install the corresponding part, among other tasks. Held annually in Hanover, CeBIT is one of the world's largest tech trade fairs and will go on until March 24.
