Lanzante's McLaren F1 GTR Tribute Is Almost Here With The Perfect Name
Lanzane has revealed very little about its performance goals for the car, but we do know that a figure of 700 horsepower per ton is being targeted. With limited editions like these, the design and exclusivity are more important than world-beating performance figures, but that target suggests that weight will still be watched closely. The company says that it is focusing on making this a usable supercar, and it'll be more practical than whatever it's based on. That's because, like the F1, the 95-59 will have a three-seat layout with the driver in the center of the cockpit.
That interior layout might suggest that the 95-59 is based on the McLaren Speedtail, but that's a 106-unit special edition of its own, and Lanzante would never be able to convince more than half the owners to chop up their special Mac. And although Lanzante wants to offer "extended cruising range," there has been no mention of a hybrid system. The final point to make in this respect is that a company capable of creating cars as exclusive as this would have little trouble remodeling an interior, especially if the base car is affordable (or as affordable as a supercar can be). So what do we think it is?
Lanzante's new car is designed by Paul Howse, who was directly involved in the creation of the P1, P1 GTR, and 720S, the latter of which has since been replaced by the almost identical 750S. We think the 95-59 will be based on this 740-hp V8 supercar. The cheaper and less powerful Artura hybrid can't be discounted, but a V6 just doesn't seem like the right fit for something as rare and noteworthy as this. Especially when it looks this crazy.
The car is painted Ueno Grey, the same hue as the #59 F1 GTR mentioned at the outset, but what we can see of the design seems to look to the future more than the past. The birds-eye sketch earlier in this article shows a shape reminiscent of the Aston Martin Valhalla, while the taillight design calls to mind the new W1 hypercar (and, by extension, the P1 it references). We'll find out more when the car makes its grand debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 10, but the price likely won't be made public. If you haven't been invited to buy one by now, you've probably missed out already.

Arrowheadlines: The Chiefs defense had a tough night
The latestLoser: Chiefs Run Defense Unreliable offensive line play, especially along the interior, was one of Seattle's biggest problems in 2024. On Friday, the Seahawks' first- and second-team units looked like one of the best in the NFL. The Seahawks racked up 174 rushing yards before intermission and 268 in total. That reflects well on Seahawks running backs like Zach Charbonnet, George Holani and Damien Martinez—along with rookie guard Grey Zabel—but it also highlights how poorly Kansas City's run defense performed. Kansas City was regularly blown off the line of scrimmage, while linebackers struggled to close on ball-carriers. It's safe to say that the Chiefs have plenty to clean up defensively between now and Week 1. | Tonyan makes most of opportunity. Tight end Robert Tonyan had a nice showing as the veteran addition is looking to solidify a spot in the Chiefs' TE room. He surely made his case. On a third-and-goal from the 1-yard line, Gardner Minshew was forced to scramble to his right and managed to sneak the ball to Tonyan, who quickly faked a Seahawks defender for a score. He finished the night with five receptions for 41 yards. Listed as the fourth-string TE on Kansas City's depth chart, Tonyan is certainly fighting for a spot behind Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and rookie Jake Briningstool. After playing for three different squads in the NFC North over the course of the last three seasons, Tonyan made his case that he could contribute when called upon. 2025 NFL preseason Week 2: Takeaways, analysis | ESPN Chiefs: All four of the Chiefs' prominent rookies on defense — tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, end Ashton Gillotte, cornerback Nohl Williams and linebacker Jeffrey Bassa — struggled with extending playing time Friday. The Chiefs' defense gave up huge chunks of rushing yards in the first half as Norman-Lott and Gillotte weren't able to make much of an impact. Bassa, who was a star in the preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals, was exploited by the Seahawks' misdirection plays. Williams showed his physicality again, but he left the game in the third quarter with a concussion. — Nate Taylor NFL initially proposed double-digit game suspension for Chiefs' Rashee Rice, per report | CBS Sports However, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reported on Friday that the league initially proposed a double-digit game suspension for Rice that would've sidelined him for at least half of the season. The NFL Players Association, along with Rice's attorney and agent, lobbied for a much shorter suspension, arguing that there is no precedent for suspending a player half the season in a similar case, according to Pelissero. It's also possible a settlement could be reached before the start of the season, according to the report, that would suspend Rice for the start of the 2025 campaign as opposed to after the hearing at the end of next month. Around the NFL 4 NFL trades that should happen before the regular season | SB Nation Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings It's wild to look at the Vikings as a team that needs receiver help, but here we are. The paramount concern for Minnesota this year is to get J.J. McCarthy started off on the right foot, and that will be extremely difficult with Jordan Addison serving a three game suspension, and now Rondale Moore suffering a season-ending knee injury. As it stands the opening day receivers for Minnesota will be Justin Jefferson, Tai Felton, and Jalen Nailor in the slot. That's a bad, bad unit. Enter an old friend in Adam Thielen. The Carolina Panthers love Thielen, but they have a problem of their own at receiver: They have too many to know what to do with. All signs point to Tetairoa McMillan being their No. 1, with Xavier Legette across from him, and Thielen in the slot. That leaves 2024 breakout UDFA Jalen Coker, Hunter Renfrow, and promising rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. all riding the pine. The Panthers have often said Thielen is their veteran leadership, glue guy — but depending on how the front office feels about the maturity of the unit, Thielen could be expendable. He would be an ideal fit for Minnesota as a bridge WR, who can offer punch on the outside immediately, and transition to the slot when Addison returns. Titans' Ward happy for 'more reps' in shaky preseason start | ESPN The second preseason game wasn't kind to rookie quarterback Cameron Ward and the Tennessee Titans' first-team offense Friday night. Ward completed only two of his seven pass attempts for 42 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Tennessee's 23-20 win. Titans coach Brian Callahan planned to have Ward play two series. But that changed after the offense struggled on the first two series. 'I wanted to send them back out there,' Callahan said after the game. 'I think just the play number was still low. Those penalties kind of knocked us out of some of those favorable down distances and we didn't convert third downs, and so we wanted to get them one more series because the play count was still relatively low. So, I felt like it was good for him to go back out there.' In case you missed it on Arrowhead Pride4. Jalen Royals is a viable option at kick returner One of Friday's few bright spots was Kansas City's kick returners. Skyy Moore not only managed to catch a punt, but also — somehow — returned it for a touchdown. While it was the special teams' highlight of the night, we need to be honest: it was too little, too late. But Jalen Royals taking his lone kickoff return back for 49 yards — and nearly taking it to the house — is another thing entirely. A week ago, Royals showed himself to be a capable receiver on offense. If he can also win the kick returner job, the battle that's now taking place in the Chiefs' wide receiver room will become very interesting for players like Nikko Remigio.

Mets' Juan Soto sets impressive career mark with home run blast vs. Mariners
The post Mets' Juan Soto sets impressive career mark with home run blast vs. Mariners appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Mets are in the middle of a tough stretch, but their stars have pulled their weight. Pete Alonso recently became the franchise's all-time leader in career home runs. However, his co-stars were the ones who went deep against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Francisco Lindor hit two home runs himself while Juan Soto's solo shot helped extend a streak of dominant seasons. Soto and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza had their differences earlier this season. However, the former MVP has been nothing short of excellent since the All-Star break. When he stepped in against Mariners starter Luis Castillo for the third time, he needed just one pitch to hit his 30th home run of the season to center field. Soto's 30 home runs extends his lead over Alonso, who is at 28. Lindor's two home runs gives him 24 on the season. The solo shot carried a different meaning for Soto, though. The outfielder has been one of the league's best hitters since making it to the major leagues. His home run gave him three straight seasons with at least 30 home runs, putting him in elite company. New York does not rely as heavily on their power batters as other teams, but their trio of stars lead the way. More importantly, Lindor and Soto helped the Mets build a 6-4 lead over Seattle. New York's offense has needed to step up in a big way as of late. Mendoza has bemoaned the Mets' pitching staff, specifically Kodai Senga. His team is 1-9 in its last ten games, losing ground to the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East. After fighting for the top spot for the top spot in the division, New York is at risk of losing the pennant race in late August. If the Mets are going to recover, Soto's bat will play a large role. New York fans hope that he, Lindor, and Alonso remain hot at the plate.
