The new Carbon-fiber construction Ford GT
The engine sitting under that back lid is a twin-turbo Ecoboost V-6 producing, Ford claims, "more than 600 horsepower." Little was revealed about the car at the press conference; we got a short press release, a bunch of images, and not much else. Highlights: active aerodynamics including a deployable rear spoiler, upward-opening doors, aluminum front and rear subframes, torsion-bar and pushrod suspension, 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels, and carbon-ceramic brakes.

World’s Largest Indoor Farm is 100 Times More Productive
The statistics for this incredibly successful indoor farming endeavor in Japan are staggering: 25,000 square feet producing 10,000 heads of lettuce per day (100 times more per square foot than traditional methods) with 40% less power, 80% less food waste and 99% less water usage than outdoor fields. But the freshest news from the farm: a new facility using the same technologies has been announced and is now under construction in Hong Kong, with Mongolia, Russia and mainland China on the agenda for subsequent near-future builds.
