It ended up being the little excavator that could
We’re a long way from the fairground…
He had a big job on his hands
Alex Hirshi, AKA Supercar Blondie, got behind the wheel of the incredible Citroen GT, a concept so outrageous it looks like it drove straight out of a video game. And that’s mostly because it did. Designers created it for Gran Turismo back in 2008, but seeing it in real life feels like spotting a UFO. […]
The legendary droop nose in action
The Concorde didn’t just fly, it ripped through the sky like a thunderclap in motion. This rare home video, filmed from London Heathrow just weeks before its final flight in 2003, shows one of the last take-offs up close… almost too close. The supersonic jet screams overhead, afterburners flaring, so powerful it actually sets off […]
It shouldn’t be able to fly… not looking like that. But in head-on footage posted by Topfelya, the Airbus Beluga barrels toward the camera before somehow lifting its big, bulbous melon clean off the runway. The Beluga’s shape makes zero visual sense – the OP even comparing it to Pixar’s Megamind – yet it makes […]
The video above, posted to Instagram by lawyergarage, shows a garbage truck tearing down US freeways with a jet engine bolted to the back. The build’s called ‘Trash Gordon,’ and it blasts past 200 miles an hour while spitting flames. It started life hauling trash, but now it looks like something straight out of a […]
Have you ever seen an Airbus A380 perform a crosswind take-off in stormy conditions? Well, you’re about to – and it is as mind-boggling as it sounds. The video in question comes to us from the Topfelya YouTube channel and shows an Emirates A380 preparing for take-off at Birmingham Airport. The video shows one of […]
The Boeing 777X is the latest series of jetliner from the Seattle manufacturer’s 777 range, and it’s a next-generation aircraft. One of its most impressive features are its new General Electric GE9X engines. And a video from the Topfelya YouTube channel showcases this unreal power. The video, which you can see above, shows the new-gen […]
Footage shared by Boeing shows a 747-8 Freighter rolling down the runway at over 200mph when the pilot suddenly slams on the brakes. This isn’t a mistake, it’s one of the most extreme certification tests an aircraft can face: the rejected take-off. Loaded to nearly one million pounds, fitted with brakes worn down to the […]
A GoPro just survived the drop of a lifetime, tumbling from over 3,600 feet in the sky and still rolling when it hit the ground. The camera slipped free during a paraglider’s 60 percent collapse, plummeting to Earth while capturing the whole dizzying fall. Miraculously, it landed in the grass without a scratch – ants […]
His delicious burger was interrupted
Ever seen an odometer roll over to seven figures while the car’s flat-out? That’s exactly what happened in a Reddit video from user vlewy showing a Mercedes 200D clocking one million kilometers (621,000 miles) while cruising at 180 km/h (112 mph). The clip’s got fans calling these old W123 and W124 Mercs ‘everlasting’ and ‘over […]
