The year 2024 was very good to Ferrari. The Maranello automaker had a host of models up for sale, including the 296 GTB/GTS, 12 Cilindri/12 Cilindri Spider, Roma/Roma Spider, and even debuted the company’s first-ever SUV, the Purosangue. Late last year, Feeari even went so far as to introduce a brand new halo car in the form of the mighty F80, which now sits at the top of one of the most prestigious bloodlines in the autoverse.

Although Ferrari is renowned for its high-performance gas engines, the Italian manufacturer is set to launch its first fully electric car in October this year, marking a significant shift for the luxury sports car brand, according to a report by Reuters.

Ferrari’s move towards electrification began in 2019 with the introduction of hybrid models, which accounted for 51% of the company’s sales last year. The Italian automaker anticipates an increase in EBITDA from €2.56 billion ($2.64 billion) in 2024 to at least €2.68 billion ($2.77 billion) in 2025. Customizations chosen by Ferrari buyers, such as unique paint, livery, and carbon features, represent about 20% of total revenue, an increase from 19% in 2023, with a similar trend expected in 2025, according to CFO Antonio Picca Piccon.

Ferrari’s CEO, Benedetto Vigna, announced that the unveiling of the first fully-electric vehicle (EV) will take place during the company’s Capital Markets Day on October 9 at their headquarters in Maranello, Italy. “We’re not transitioning to electric; we’re rather adding electric to our lineup,” Vigna stated. He also emphasized that Ferrari’s plans, including the launch of six new models this year, will remain unaffected by U.S. policies or any risks related to trade wars.

Porsche just proved the Cayenne Electric is the most impressive performance vehicle you can drive

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

I have seen the movies. I know there is no way that a car can survive in the jet blast of a plane. I remember the scene from Casino Royale. And for me, that is science. But the engineers at Porsche and Stratolaunch aren’t so sure. They operate in the real world of science, and they came together to see if the Porsche Cayenne Electric could withstand the take-off power of one of the largest and most powerful aircraft in the world. Why? Because they can and because curiosity oftentimes leads to something awesome. Spoiler alert…the car holds up. But don’t take my word for it.

The car is its own beast. It’s got the ability to keep up and play in this space. – Orlando Bloom, Porsche ambassador

Indian commits to American artistry with Signature Series

Machine, Spoke, Helmet

There is something about sitting on the back of a motorcycle that you can’t feel anywhere else. Road trips feel different on the back of a bike versus in a car. Maybe it is the solo aspect of it. Maybe there is the feeling of the wind. Who knows? What I do know is that there is nothing like a bike ride through the countryside. The winding roads, the sunsets through the visor of the helmet, all of it is unrivaled. Indian Motorcycle understands this, and they have since they became the first American motorcycle company. Now, they have dropped a new Signature Series of four motorcycles echoing their commitment to American artistry and craftsmanship.

Since 1901, Indian Motorcycle has pursued the ultimate intersection of form and function – motorcycles that are as beautiful in design as they are sophisticated in performance – Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.
