Ferrari reveals fastest convertible of all time -- and has already sold out

Named the LaFerrari Aperta, the brand new ride is a convertible version of an existing model, the LaFerrari hybrid supercar. 

The car was revealed to the public for the first time on September 29 at the Paris Motor Show, but it actually sold out in July -- despite its hefty $2.2-million price tag.

The Aperta features a V12 engine with 750 horsepower, making it the most powerful engine ever used in a Ferrari road car, with a top speed of 217 miles per hour.

The new Japanese maglev became the fastest train in the world after traveling at 374 miles per hour (603 kilometers per hour)

In 2020, the Japanese capital will host the Summer Olympics, and if you're getting deja vu that's because the Asian nation is once again shattering rail records.

The new Japanese maglev became the fastest train in the world after traveling at 374 miles per hour (603 kilometers per hour) on a test run near Mount Fuji last year, breaking its own world record of 366 miles per hour (590 km per hour), set the previous week.

Maglev trains -- already operating at slower speeds in Shanghai and Changsha, in China, and Incheon, in South Korea -- use magnetic repulsion both to levitate the train up from the ground, which reduces friction, and to propel it forward.
