Ultra Rare Lanzante TAG Turbo 911 "AP87" Heads to Auction
Summary One of the rarest and most thrillingPorsche 911s ever created is now up for auction: the 1988Porsche 911 TAG Turbo by Lanzante. Estimated to fetch as much as $2,100,000 USD, this is one of only 11 examples modified by UK-based motorsport experts Lanzante to house a legendaryFormula Oneengine, the 1.5L twin-turbo TAG-Porsche V6 originally built by Hans Mezger and raced by Alain Prost during the 1986 and 1987 F1 seasons. Codenamed 'AP87' in tribute to its F1 engine numbered '051,' the car is built from a 930 Turbo and boasts 510 bhp, a 200-mph top speed and weighs 286 pounds less than its original factory spec. Finished in striking Mintgrün over black leather and tartan inserts, this build is not just a technical marvel but a visual statement. Featuring extensive weight-saving measures—including carbon fiber body panels, a six-speed manual gearbox and goldRUFwheels—the car has only 311 miles since completion. Recently serviced by Lanzante in March 2025, it includes updated software and ECU upgrades. More than a restomod, the AP87 is a motorsport icon reimagined for the road, offering collectors a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a slice of Formula One history wrapped in Porsche's unmistakable silhouette.

Max Verstappen Believes Red Bull Are 'Going Around In Circles' After Hungarian F1 Disappointment
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Red Bull driver Max Verstappen was left disappointed after failing to qualify in the top five for the Hungarian Grand Prix. The RB-21 looked poor throughout all three practice sessions. The team has managed to get the car operating at a high level seemingly out of nowhere, but in Hungary, there was no magic left. Verstappen himself has carried the car up the grid and outperformed expectations, but he also couldn't muster much in terms of pace. Eighth placed qualifier Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing in parc ferme during qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 02, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. Eighth placed qualifier Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing in parc ferme during qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 02, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. Photo byAfter showing dismal pace in the car, the four-time champion was happy just to make it to Q3. "Looking at the whole weekend, I think we are happy to be in Q3. Because I've been more outside of the top 10 than in," the Dutchman told the media. "It's been difficult this whole weekend. No grip, front and rear. It was the same in qualifying. For me, it was not really a shock. I just drove to what I already feel the whole weekend. "I think we still qualified very close to pole. Within a few hundredths. I think we were a lot more competitive back then. This weekend, already from lap one, it just felt off. "We threw the car around a lot. Nothing really gave a direction. That, of course, is the biggest problem. Normally, when you change a lot on the side of it, it will always give you positives or negatives. "Now, nothing works. It's like going around in circles. Nothing gives you any kind of idea of what to do." Red Bull and Verstappen are almost out of contention for a title this season, making the rest of the season about trying to spring surprise results. On pace and merit, Red Bull can't match the McLaren cars and are behind the Ferrari and Mercedes at most tracks. P8 is still a solid result for the team, especially considering Japanese driver Yuki Tsunoda finished in P16. If the team can find performance for the race on Sunday, a climb up the grid could be on the cards. Hungarian Grand Prix Qualifying Results

Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) Reports Q2 2025 Sales Decline to US$4934 Million
Cleveland-Cliffs recently faced challenges as their second-quarter 2025 earnings revealed sales declined to USD 4,934 million, while registering a net loss of USD 483 million compared to a modest net income last year. Despite these disappointing financial results, Cleveland-Cliffs's share price rose by 15% over the past month. This performance unfolded against the backdrop of a broader market that saw similar gains in July, although markets experienced a downturn due to economic concerns fueled by weak U.S. jobs data and renewed tariff policies. The company's operational struggles might have tempered the overall positive market momentum. We've identified 3 risks with Cleveland-Cliffs (at least 1 which is a bit unpleasant) and understanding the impact should be part of your investment process. Find companies with promising cash flow potential yet trading below their fair value. The recent earnings report highlighting Cleveland-Cliffs' net loss of US$483 million amidst sales of US$4.93 billion presents a challenging landscape for the company. Despite this, shares have climbed 15% in the past month, reflecting broader market trends, though these gains might be vulnerable to ongoing economic uncertainties, such as the U.S. jobs data concerns. Addressing this financial strain is crucial as Cleveland-Cliffs navigates its reliance on U.S. steel tariffs and OEM reshoring, central to its growth narrative. Over a longer five-year period, Cleveland-Cliffs' total shareholder return, encompassing both share price appreciation and dividends, marked an impressive increase of 83.58%. This growth sharply contrasts with the company's recent underperformance against the US Metals and Mining industry over the past year. The industry saw returns of 13.4%, surpassing Cleveland-Cliffs' performance during the same one-year period. Future revenue and earnings projections are aligned with anticipated benefits from reshoring and tariff protections, yet the magnitude of the recent loss highlights potential vulnerabilities. Analysts anticipate the revenue will rise, with margins eventually reaching profitability. However, any shifts in trade policies or market conditions could alter these forecasts. With the current share price at US$10.06, close to the target of US$10.99, the upward movement suggests market confidence, yet analysts see limited upside relative to the target, indicating cautious optimism about hitting expected milestones. According our valuation report, there's an indication that Cleveland-Cliffs' share price might be on the cheaper side. This article by Simply Wall St is general in nature.
