Toyota FJ Cruiser driver ejected from vehicle after flipping

This world is full of people who are not so smart but are lucky, like the Toyota FJ Cruiser driver who was ejected from the vehicle on a beach in Kuwait while driving at high speed. Luckily, nobody was seriously injured.

The video was posted on TikTok and shows the sandy beach of Abu Al Hasaniya in Kuwait and a Toyota FJ Cruiser speeding towards the cameraman. At one point, the driver loses control of the vehicle and the large SUV begins to drift, causing the vehicle to overturn multiple times. The driver was apparently not wearing a seat belt, so after the second flip of the vehicle, he flew out the window and fell into the water. Luckily, he was unharmed and those who were on the beach at that moment were also not injured.

The Arab Times reports that shortly after the accident, the police arrived at the scene and conducted an investigation, pulled the vehicle out of the water and seized it. If you are wondering who was the person driving the vehicle, it is a 34-year-old Kuwaiti whose name has not been published.

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 (F-Model) is for sale

It all started back in 1972 when the Carrera RS 2.7 had its premiere and was named after the 356 Carrera while the RS (Rennsport) was developed to meet the homologation requirements in motorsport. It was produced until 1974 and only 1,580 cars left the production lines. Over time, it became an indispensable collector’s car and acquired the status of a legend. One such example, the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 (F-Model) is for sale.

This Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.7L flat 6-cylinder engine with 210 hp (150 kW) and 188 lb-ft (255 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.8 seconds with a top speed of 152 mph (245 km/h). It weighs only 960 kg, which is less than the 911 model. The reason is the regulations that the car had to meet in terms of sports characteristics, which meant reducing the weight below 1000 kg. This was achieved by using thin steel and thinner glass in the car’s construction.

It was designed with a larger body that allowed more space for a larger engine compared to the previous 911 models. This allowed the engineers to install new suspension, wider rear wheels and duck tail for better dynamics and greater downforce. It is mounted on 185 / 70VR15 front and 215 / 60VR15 rear tires.

This car is finished in Olive shade over black interior, and is in excellent condition. There is no information about the previous owners, but it is surprising that the car has rarely been driven as it has only 6,041 miles (9,722 km) on the odometer.

When it comes to price, this Carrera RS 2.7 costs $999,995 USD.

Ford Mustang stays loyal to the V8 engine

In 1964, Ford introduced a series of cars with, currently, the longest manufactured nameplate, the Ford Mustang. After six decades and six generations of this model, Ford still remains loyal to the V8 engine, despite the fact that most manufacturers have completely abandoned internal combustion engines.

The seventh generation will be powered by a 5-liter naturally aspirated Coyote V8 engine with 486 – 500 hp (362 – 373 kW), depending on the market. The Mustang is an icon of the American auto industry and has been one of the best-selling sports cars for years, and soon it could get a GTD version based on the Mustang GT3 racer. The GT3 was developed in cooperation with M-Sport and is powered by the Coyote engine-based 5.4L naturally aspirated V8. However, the GTD will be powered by a 5.2-liter V8 engine with more than 800 hp (597 kW).

Their main competitors in the American market, Chevrolet and Dodge do not share the same opinion when it comes to V8 engines. The Camaro and Challenger models are no longer available with this type of engine, leaving muscle car fans without the sound of their thunder.

Last summer, Ford introduced the fully electric Mustang Mach-E Rally powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, with a total output of 480 hp (353 kW) and 652 lb-ft (884 Nm) of torque. This caused a lot of resentment among fans of this model, and Ford tried to calm it down a bit with the Ford Mustang EcoBoost model, which is powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 315 hp (235 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) of torque.
