There may still be a hand-planed ash frame under there, but the Morgan Supersport has plenty of new tech under the hood (or bonnet) as well.

‘Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7' Really Wants You To Play The Campaign

Activision and Treyarch revealed a ton of new details about this year's upcoming Call Of Duty today at Gamescom. I attended a preview event earlier this month and got to see an even more detailed presentation about what's coming to Black Ops 7. I also was able to speak with developers and got a little bit of hands-on time with the game's multiplayer and Zombies modes, though I'll have to save my gameplay impressions for another time. One of the things that really stood out to me about Black Ops 7 is just how badly the developers seem to want to get players to actually play – and finish – the campaign. I almost typed 'single-player campaign' just now, but this is actually a co-op campaign. You can still play it solo, but you can also play with up to a four-person squad, or with just two or three people. Play with friends or utilize online matchmaking, or just play by yourself. The game will automatically scale difficulty based on how many players are in the squad, which is certainly new for Call Of Duty. Beyond co-op, which should make the campaign more fun for people who normally just play multiplayer, are a bunch of other incentives. For the first time, there will be a full suite of Campaign camos and mastery camos for all the Black Ops 7 guns. This means that completionists who grind camos in multiplayer, Warzone and Zombies will now need to grind camos in the campaign. Fortunately, that doesn't mean playing the campaign itself over and over again. There's a brand new end-game (aptly titled Endgame) for players to wingsuit into, after they complete the campaign. Now, once you've finished the final mission, you'll be able to squad up with teammates and play an open-world mode on the Avalon map. This Endgame mode sounds a bit like the DMZ from Modern Warfare II. Up to 32 players drop into Avalon and fight their way through increasingly difficult portions of the map, leveling up as they progress. Apparently, finishing the hardest missions Avalon has to offer will require multiple deployments, though if you're wiped out you lose all your upgrades.

These movement upgrades will be available in the 20v20 multiplayer Skirmish mode as well, though not in core 6v6 modes. Leveling guns is now global as well, so all progress made in all modes, from campaign/Endgame to MP and Warzone and Zombies, contributes to leveling up your arsenal. Black Ops 7's campaign is a direct sequel to 2012's Black Ops II, picking back up in 2035. There are many familiar faces, though chief protagonist David Mason is now played by Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes, This Is Us). Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead) returns as Mike Harper and Kiernan Shipka (Twisters, Sabrina) plays the enigmatic Emma Kagan, CEO of the almost certainly nefarious tech giant, The Guild. Oh, and somehow Raul Menendez – villain of Black Ops II, who very much dies in that game – returns. From what I've seen of the campaign, it looks pretty wild. Most Black Ops campaigns are trippy, but this one looks like it takes place as much in psychedelic mindscapes as it does in the real world. One mission includes giant machetes as tall as skyscrapers crashing into the ground around you as you battle your way through phantom-like enemies. The campaign takes you to Japan, the Mediterranean nation of Avalon, the jungles of South America and more, though how many of these locations are real remains to be seen. I'm also curious to see if Avalon is just a location for Endgame and some multiplayer maps, or if we're getting an Avalon Warzone map as well. Hopefully we find out more soon. Black Ops 7 releases on November 14th on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and PC via and Steam. I'm a little surprised that we're still getting these on last-gen systems. Still no word on whether Nintendo Switch 2 will be getting a Call Of Duty title anytime soon.

Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance Adds F1 Power To An Iconic Roadster

The Mercedes-Benz SL roadster, a sleek, luxury-filled convertible, has been an icon of sporty luxury and the pinnacle of top-down driving since it made its debut in 1954. Over the years Mercedes-Benz has retooled the SL adding things like heated arm rests and all wheel drive to ensure the SL is capable and accommodating on all roads in all seasons. But for 2025 the Mercedes-AMG SL takes on a new distinction thanks to the company's F1 experience: electric boosted twin-turbo power that notches horsepower up to 805 and torque to 1,047, putting it solidly in hyper-car territory. Don't let the looks of this demure convertible fool you; it's a thrill. AMG-Only Production Adds To The Mystique Back in the day, Mercedes-Benz produced an SL for all luxury appetites, ranging from smaller powertrains to high performance. But for the current generation the company decided to focus on performance, offering four options produced by the house of AMG, the Affalterbach, Germany-based performance division of Mercedes-Benz. The starting point is the AMG SL 43 Roadster, a 4-cylinder turbo that generates 416 hp and starts at $112,000; the SL 55 increases power to 469 hp and the price to $145,000; the SL 63 Roadster generates 577 hp and is priced from $187,000. The F1-inflected, PHEV boosted SL 63 S E Performance starts at $207000; our test model, equipped with a nice set of upgrades, came in at $225,000, making it a true pinnacle of both luxury and sport driving. External Cues Let You Know This Mercedes-AMG Is A Powerful Machine The iterations of power and luxury are notable by each model name, of course, but the S E Performance gets a little extra panache: A red-backed 'S' badge that signifies its 805 hp and 2.8-second 0-60 MPH acceleration. The red-flecked badge is also seen on the side panels under the V8 Biturbo badge, yet another nod to the roadster's power. On the rear there's a retractable spoiler that deploys when the car hits a minimum speed and needs the downforce assistance, though a button on the control panel under the multimedia screen can deploy or retract it, too. Just under the wing is a small power port for charging. On the front end of the AMG SL 63 S E Performance conveys the luxury of Mercedes-Benz and its AMG Affalterbach heritage with a crest on the hood just above the Mercedes logo badge. The Many Performance Options Allow A Custom Experience The great thing about a performance PHEV is that you get to choose when and how to put the car's power to work: creep out of the neighborhood in silence in hybrid mode; the electric motor will deliver about eight miles of all-electric driving before the gas engine kicks in. Or, turn the drive mode dial on the steering wheel to Sport to crank up both the power and the sound. While owners can charge the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 S E Performance for maximum hybrid range, there's no real need to charge the roadster to ensure there's enough electric power to deliver all 805 hp. The system is designed to maintain a minimum amount of power and to regenerate its charge on its own while you drive. In our first test of its sister S E Performance, the AMG C 63, the battery nearly fully recharged on a day of driving through the mountains of Southern California. Manufaktur Options Increase the Luxury Quotient The luxury of the AMG SL 63 S E Performance starts with the soft-top convertible, a quickly-retracting top that can be operated even while driving. With the top down the cabin feels like chic and refined, not overly windy or loud. With the top up the outside world is hushed thanks to a nicely constructed soft top that dampens outside noise. The heated, cooled massaging quilted leather front seats add to the quiet luxury of the cabin. Buyers who want to really personalize their SL 63 can choose Manufaktur options, bespoke details that include a wider range of colors and trim details for a unique and personal style package. Our model came standard with some of the best Mercedes goodies: Burmester premium sound, 'Hey Mercedes' voice activation, Napa leather massage seats and 'air scarf,' a neck-level vent on the front seats that blows warm air on cold days. This is especially nice when the top is down. Not that the SL 63 S E Performance needed any extras to make it the most desirable SL; its F1 DNA and dynamic drive experience make it a true thrill, adding another dimension to its luxury heritage.
