Ferrari has announced its replacement for the Roma, and this time they've taken the name a little further south.

I recently spent some time with a 2025 Range Rover Sport PHEV to see just how good its fuel economy can be. According to the EPA and Range Rover itself, the Sport PHEV has a combined (city and highway) MPG of 21 when going gas-only. The battery, when powering the vehicle alone, is capable of 55 MPGe.
