Ferrari just unveiled the Luce, its first all-electric car, and its design has been really divisive. Designed by former Apple design chief Jony Ive, the car is definitely turning heads, and not all for the right reasons.  That said, while the exterior design is controversial, very few people can deny that the car’s interior is unlike anything you have seen before. One of the first things that stands out is the futuristic display aesthetic. I think the dashboard deserves its own spotlight. Samsung Display is exclusively powering the Luce’s interior with four OLED panels, and what they have pulled off…

The V90 is a useful tow car, with the D5 and T6 rated for 2200kg and even the PHEVs being capable of pulling 2100kg. It’s a workhorse, then, like all good Volvo estates have been, but with the tech and panache to slip into premium exec duties effortlessly. What more can you ask of a car that starts at £8k? What to look out for Engine: The high-output D5 (later B5) and T6 (later B6) use Volvo’s PowerPulse compressed air system to spool the turbos quickly, reducing lag. Failure of the air compressor or associated hoses in this system is…

The Ford F-150 Lobo is one of the coolest-looking trucks we’ve seen in years. Especially in black. With the sleek horizontal lightbar and the dual exhaust, the design team gives the rig a handsome look. But under the hood, it’s largely the same truck as a standard Ford F-150, with little that makes it a “street truck” beyond the fact that Ford dropped the suspension by a couple of inches. Now, the upcoming Ram 1500 Rumble Bee? There’s a street truck. Especially the 700+ horsepower SRT model, with a supercharged Hemi to challenge anything and everything on the road. There’s…

After months of teasers, Ferrari is offering the first full view of its Luce electric vehicle. The Luce is notable not just for being Ferrari’s first EV, but for being designed in collaboration with Jony Ive and Mark Newson at their collective LoveFrom. It’s also going to be Ferrari’s second four-door car and its first five-seat one.We already knew Ive and Newson were working on the Luce’s interiors, which were shown off earlier this year. Now Ferrari says LoveFrom was allowed to “define the design direction of the project from the outset,” inside and out.Tim Stevens reporting for Engadget offers…

Among the greatest examples of that disappearing philosophy is a tiny Japanese roadster that never chased supercar numbers or Nürburgring headlines. Instead, it focused on balance, simplicity, and durability. It offered mid-engine dynamics at a price ordinary enthusiasts could afford, and it wrapped everything in classic Toyota reliability. Years later, it has become the kind of sports car owners refuse to sell because nothing modern truly replaces it.

To borrow a phrase from the Friends theme song, so no one told you life was gonna be this way. When you were in high school and college, you just knew you were gonna have a big house with an equally big garage that was stuffed with fancy cars, like a Bentley Continental GT. But now that you’re edging closer to (or even overtaking) middle age, you realize that even though you’ve got it pretty good, that new family SUV in the driveway just doesn’t have the cachet you once imagined for your wheels. If the situation sounds familiar, we’ve…

Our first look at the entire luxury EV designed by LoveFrom. Ferrari If the wild, Jony Ive- and Marc Newson-designed interior for the Ferrari Luce had you intrigued and wanting more, here’s the payoff. After committing to build an EV last year, ignoring those earlier statements that it would never happen, Ferrari has finally given me a look at the entire finished product. As big a departure as that interior is from Ferrari’s current suite of sports cars, the exterior is an even bigger step, one that not everyone is going to love. Whether you love…

Then there are the qualities you can’t define by numbers, such as the extra layer of control that a manual transmission can give you on a challenging country road. And the shift itself, which, if memory serves, was always better once the car was warmed up, is slick and precise. I always preferred the Blue Edition GT86 with the Performance Pack, which added sharper Brembo brakes and a little more brake pedal feel, which I felt made heel-and-toe downshifts even easier.
