Sure - it can go 350mph, but where?

Lamborghini on Friday launched the Revuelto SV, a limited-edition hybrid version of its V12 Revuelto that’s the fastest and most powerful car ever built at its factory. The model is the latest in Lamborghini’s storied “SV” line, which began 55 years ago with the Miura SV and has showcased lighter, more aerodynamic and more powerful versions of its flagship supercars. The new hybrid supercar gets an electrified boost to add to “the adrenaline and the emotions” of driving a Lambo, the car’s product chief told CNBC.

The Italian auto manufacturer will make only 1,963 Revuelto SVs. The supercar starts at $741,172.

It starts with Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V12 engine and adds three electric motors to boost the power to more than 1,050 horsepower and race from zero to 100 kph (62 mph) in just 2.4 seconds.

Construction workers digging for a new sewer system in Belgium made an unexpected discovery underground: a stash of gold estimated to be worth more than $10 million.

Did I miss something? I don't get it...

The radical Democrat base is determined to champion transgenderism - despite polls that show it is increasingly unpopular among Americans of every stripe.

This conflict recently played out when first-term Democrat congressman and candidate for reelection Eugene Vindman was forced to apologize after a loud argument at a townhall meeting in King George County, Virginia, when three transgender activists demanded that he support transgenders.

According to a source, in a move described by league officials as both overdue and inevitable, the Women’s National Basketball Association announced Monday that it will rebrand as the W+MPTBWNBA effective next season.
