Does a £100,000 Range Rover really beat the cheap classic?

This video compares Izzy Hammond’s £800 old Range Rover with a new £100,000 Range Rover to see how far the famous SUV has changed. The test looks at more than comfort and price, putting both vehicles through real driving and off road situations where traction, control, ground clearance, and confidence matter most. The cheap older Range Rover feels worn and imperfect, but it still carries the rugged character that made the name famous. The modern version brings smooth power, advanced electronics, luxury, and far more refinement. By placing them side by side, the video shows whether a tired bargain SUV can still deliver charm and capability against expensive modern engineering.

Watch what happens when a car outruns the wind behind it

It sounds impossible: a vehicle powered only by wind traveling faster than the wind itself. But with a clever design using wheels and a propeller, this machine extracts energy from the moving air in an unexpected way. Instead of acting like a sail, the propeller pushes air backward, allowing the vehicle to accelerate beyond wind speed. The result is a counterintuitive demonstration that challenges how most people think about motion and energy.

This is the reason Japan became a black hole for stolen Ferraris
