Fernando Alonso has added another ultra-rare machine to his already remarkable car collection, this time taking delivery of a one-of-one Pagani in Monaco. The two-time Formula 1 world champion was recently seen driving his Zonda Roadster Diamante Verde around the streets of the principality, grabbing attention with its exposed green-tinted carbon fiber bodywork and unmistakable V12 soundtrack. A One-Off 6-Speed Manual Zonda

After introducing the 296 GTB with 819 horsepower and then superceding it with the 858-hp 296 Speciale, a new report from Italian media claims that the third iteration of the Ferrari 296 may exceed 900 hp, making it even more powerful than the 819-hp 12Cilindri, which has twice as many cylinders. According to Automoto, optimization of the electrical components of the plug-in hybrid powertrain and tweaks to the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged, 120-degree V6 engine could take the new 296, expected to

Once upon a time, it was more than enough to own a supercar to prove your wealth. But what if your guests are in your apartment and can't see what's in your garage? In 2018, a Pagani Zonda R was used as wall art, and in 2023, a McLaren Senna GTR owner went viral for lifting his supercar 57 stories so it could be displayed in his apartment, and since then, there have been several others who have gone to similar lengths to display their love of exceptional cars. In some cases, luxury manufacturers

A Supercar Fantasy Goes Up In Flames With iconic Ferrari models like the Enzo, F40, and 250 GTO, owning one remains a dream for many. That dream, however, turned into a nightmare for a Montreal man after he suffered second- and third-degree burns to more than 56% of his body when a Ferrari 360 Spider caught fire. Before anything else, it’s worth noting that this incident appears to be an isolated case – not a knock on the Ferrari 360, which is arguably one of the most beautiful Ferraris of the m

Approved? How? If you didn't already know, Ferrari is very strict about aftermarket modifications. Even if you've fully paid for your car, you could say that you don't outright own it. That's why some people, celebrities, and influencers are downright banned from ever owning another Prancing Horse ever again. While it is possible to modify a Ferrari, you have to keep in mind that the modifications should not infringe on or destroy the brand and design identity of the vehicle. Failing to follow

Customers have complained that touch controls are not as engaging or as easy to use as real buttons, and Ferrari has been doing something about it. New cars are getting physical buttons on the steering wheels again, and even slightly older models can be retrofitted with more tactile controls, too. It's not the only automaker addressing the issue, either. At the other end of the price scale, Volkswagen is bringing real buttons back, but why are touch controls so proliferative in the first place?

A Trend That Backfired While steering-wheel capacitive touch buttons with haptic feedback offer a minimalist aesthetic and allow more functions, it didn’t take long for the technology to draw criticism. Some argue that it creates usability issues, with Volkswagen even facing a lawsuit alleging that the ID.4’s steering wheel controls led to unintended acceleration. Ferrari also jumped on the trend with some of its more recent releases, including the Purosangue, before returning to physical contro

The Ferrari Icona That Doesn’t Need Fixing The Ferrari Daytona SP3 isn’t the kind of car that needs aftermarket upgrades. As a member of Ferrari’s Icona series, it’s already one of the rarest modern Ferraris, with just 599 units worldwide. The design pays clear tribute to the brand’s endurance racing past, mixing classic prototype cues with a modern carbon-fiber body. Behind the seats is a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, producing a sound that is becoming increasingly rare. It’s arguably perf

The V6 is better in this case The Ferrari F80 is one of the brand's most prolific offerings in recent memory, as the limited-production supercar is meant to represent the pinnacle of the Prancing Horse's engineering teams. Unveiled last October, just 799 units of the F80 are being built to commemorate the brand's 80th birthday. But despite being pegged as the brand's ultimate supercar, the engineers at Maranello have distinctly omitted one Ferrari signature feature that has raised some enthusias

At the end of last year, Ferrari filed a new trademark for "HC25," and now it's revealed the one-off this name is for. Based on the F8 Spider, the Ferrari HC25 is a stunning drop-top with the multiple award-winning 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged F154 V8, meaning 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque going to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. That also means no hybridization. Maranello says it will get to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and 124 mph in 8.2 seconds, with a top spe

The Ferrari 12Cilindri was revealed nearly two years ago as the replacement for the 812 Superfast, and that means buyers of Maranello's only remaining V12 product have had plenty of time to let their imaginations run wild. Ferrari still won't let you paint its cars pink, but purple with white accents? That is now acceptable. As part of the Tailor Made program — like Porsche's Sonderwunsch or Bentley's Mulliner Bespoke — Ferrari has just revealed a car that it describes as "the celebration of the

Long gone are the days when Italian exotics had a reputation for being heinously unreliable and bursting into flames if you looked at them the wrong way, but even so, Ferrari faces a recall in 2026. The company has been producing sports cars since 1947, but it still gets things wrong from time to time, and the reason the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has published a recall for the 12Cilindri is comically basic: its rear and side windows have been tinted too heavily. But unlike a

The Ferrari 849 Testarossa has a deployable rear spoiler that helps keep the supercar planted at high speeds, but even when this is inactive, the rear end of the car looks a little awkward, thanks to upturned spoiler lips that sit above its taillights. Similarly, the new 296 Speciale has aerodynamic elements that extend beyond the main bodywork, disrupting the sports car's clean lines, but if a new patent filed by Ferrari at the United States Patent and Trademark Office is anything to go by, Mar

It seems that Ferrari is preparing to produce a new one-off supercar, and it may already have a name. According to Road & Track, which discovered a new trademark with the World Intellectual Property Office, that name may be "HC25." If you have a bank account with nine figures in it, buying "regular" supercars and hypercars like the Ferrari 12Cilindri or Bugatti Chiron just doesn't cut it. If you're a Bugatti aficionado, you can commission something like the one-off Brouillard, and if you're

Ferrari is once again pushing the boundaries of what a combustion engine can be. Just when we thought its oval-piston concept was radical, a newly surfaced patent reveals that it was only the tip of the iceberg. This time, the brand is rethinking the V12 from the ground up to ensure its survival in an electrified future. Rewriting the V12 Rulebook USPTO

Ferrari’s Next Act Ferrari has rolled out some of its most boundary-pushing models in recent years, broadening its lineup with offerings such as the V6 plug-in hybrid–powered 296 and the Purosangue SUV. For 2026, the Italian marque is set to expand its range further with five new models, according to comments made during an earnings call on Tuesday, reported by Reuters. Details surrounding the upcoming models remain scarce. However, one confirmed release slated for this year is the Luce, which w

Ferrari’s Not-SUV Gets the Tuner Treatment Ferrariavoids calling the Purosangue an SUV, instead using the term 'FUV' or Ferrari Utility Vehicle. Regardless of the label, it’s a four-door Ferrari with extra ground clearance, and it was only a matter of time before tuners started exploring what could be done with it. The Purosangue’s proportions land somewhere between a crossover and a large hatchback. The long hood, short rear, and compact cabin help it avoid the bulk of most luxury SUVs, which g

A 715-hp V12 luxury SUV capable of doing 0-60 mph in a little over 3 seconds is hardly in need of a performance upgrade, is it? Mind you, when the said SUV wears the Ferrari badge, you might as well call it a standard model. That's because Maranello is said to be working on a performance version of the Purosangue, according to Bloomberg. The news agency cites people familiar with the matter as saying that the performance Purosangue will provide a fresh look and upgraded performance for Ferrari’s

The dispute between Ferrari and Mazda regarding the ownership of the 'Luce' name is heating up, as the Italian luxury sports car manufacturer insists that it holds the right to use the name, which it intends to use on its first-ever fully electric car. That is despite the fact that Mazda trademarked the Luce name in Japan roughly three weeks after Ferrari announced details of its upcoming Luce electric car. The Japanese automaker first used the Luce name in 1966 on a series of high-end sedans th

Epitome of Desire Ferrari has always been the definitive bedroom poster car for generations of petrolheads; it has become the most recognizable brand in high-performance cars. One thing the Prancing Horse brand understands is that not only do the cars have to perform well, but also evoke emotions, and that stems from good car design. Over the years, the brand has worked with notable Italian designers like Pininfarina, Bertone, and many more. It has also built up its own in-house design capabilit

A Rivalry That Refuses to Cool Off Both Ferrari and Lamborghini have redefined their supercars through modern electrification with the SF90 Stradale and Revuelto, respectively. Deciding which one is “better” ultimately comes down to personal preference – though a straight-line drag race can highlight performance differences once real-world variables come into play. DragTimes lined up the two Italian hybrid supercars for a quarter-mile showdown at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida, further fu

A Glimpse in the Dark Ferrari has released a new episode in its series building up to the launch of its first all-electric model, the Luce. One interesting detail is a tease of what the exterior design could look like, though it was shown only briefly and under nighttime lighting. The Luce appears to feature separate headlights, consistent with heavily camouflaged spy shots that suggest a taller, more upright silhouette. The lights also seem somewhat squarish, a design cue that aligns with the i

Ferrari’s First EV Is Almost Here Ferrari’s first electric model, the Luce (or whatever it will be called), is set to arrive this year, and it’s clear they’re taking a different approach. Instead of focusing on acceleration numbers, Ferrari is looking at how the car actually feels to drive. In a recent interview with Autocar India, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna revealed that the company worked with NASA during the development of the Luce – not for outright speed, but to understand how acceleration

Ferrari has revealed interior elements of its first-ever all-electric car, and it's given us the name, too: Luce. That's Italian for 'light,' but is also colloquially used to mean 'electricity' (because lightbulbs were many Italians' first interaction with electricity). It also seems to be a description of the interior design, which was crafted by LoveFrom, a company founded by Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson. The former was the head of design at Apple responsible for the timeless iMac, iPhone, iPa

Relentless Pursuit of Lap Time Ferrari is arguably the most race-oriented automotive brand, having been a constant presence in Formula 1 and competing across multiple series, including the World Endurance Championship (WEC). On the track, gains measured in tenths or even hundredths of a second can prove decisive, and the Italian marque’s latest patent could potentially give its future road cars a measurable advantage in lap times. The patent application outlines a technology described as a “pred
