Porsche 918 RSR Racer
Porsche has rolled out a race-bred version of the company's 918 Spyder Concept at this year's Detroit Auto Show. Packing the same drivetrain as the track-proven 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car,
Porsche says that the 918 RSR will bring a whopping 767 combined horsepower to the party when it shows up in the paddock. A total of 563 of those ponies are provided by a 6.2-liter V8 that revs to an atmospheric 10,300 rpm. Porsche has partnered its beastly eight-pot with two electric motors capable of 75 kilowatts of juice positioned at each front wheel.
The 918 RSR stores braking energy in a flywheel accumulator stationed where the passenger seat would traditionally rest, and the tech allows the driver to summon up an extra bump in power for passing or acceleration. The pilot can command the boost in grunt for up to eight seconds.
Like the 918 Concept, the bones of the 918 RSR are built of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and the body was penned to pay respect the legendary racers like the 917 short-tail. Hit the jump for the press release.

Famous Royal Weddings
In honor of Prince William's upcoming event, we look at the best regal nuptials ever.
Prince William and Kate Middleton created a media frenzy with their recent engagement announcement. The couple's upcoming nuptials are the latest in a long line of notable royal weddings.

Although their engagement caused a bit of a scandal, the Norwegian couple went on to marry in a lavish ceremony (here's a look) in 2001.

The couple married at an iconic London church and shared a public kiss on the balcony of a famous royal residence

Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip
Millions listened to the future queen of England and the Greek-Danish prince's Westminster Abbey ceremony in 1947.
Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling

The Adidas Symbiosis Provides More Organic Movement
There may be tons of prosthetic designs out there, but the Adidas Symbiosis is the first to come from such a popular sport’s label. That’s not the only first, however, that this prosthetic boasts. Instead of typical motor mechanisms, it features electromagnets so that users can experience smoother movement.
Designed by Randall Puzzitiello, the Adidas Symbiosis moves more organically than any other prosthetic limb on the market. Perfect for athletes, it could change the lives of many who are handicapped.
