Own one of F1 hero Michael Schumacher’s two Ferrari Enzos – that’s right, TWO

Did you know that legendary Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher owns two Ferrari Enzos? Well, he did. They’re actually now both up for sale at the Ferrari and Maserati dealership Garage Zénith in Sweden.

We figured the king of F1 must have owned two Enzos because he’d still want one to play around with while the other one was in the shop. This might be true but the Schumacher’s Enzos weren’t identical.

Schumacher’s red Enzo features the signature of Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo under the hood, which is no facture feature. This suggests this example was built exclusively for the legend himself. During his time with it, Schumacher managed to put 8,500 kilometers (5,280 miles) on the clock. Not bad for a man who probably doesn’t have a lot of time for leisurely cruising.

Most intriguingly of all, however, is Schumacher’s other Enzo, the FXX. This all-black, one-of-30 specialized supercar was build for track driving only. Accordingly, Schumacher only managed to put 900 kilometers (559 miles) on it, according to Motor Authority.

How much are the Swedes peddling these Italian beauties for? $1.47-million for the standard Enzo and $2.67-million for the FXX.

Why is Schumacher unloading his Ferraris? Maybe to make room for some new Mercedes-Benzes. Hopefully he’s not hard up for cash. He’s made more money in his racing career than the total GDP of some third-world countries in the same amount of time.

Mercedes-Benz EQG: range, price, release date, and more

Concept image of the larger electric G-Wagon

The G-Class is going electric. We already knew that Mercedes-Benz was working on an electric, small-size G-Wagon, but it looks like the company is also working on a larger G-Class SUV, in the form of the EQG. In fact, Mercedes has gone as far as to show off a concept version of the off-roader.

While there's much we don't know about what will become the production model of the EQG, Mercedes has also shared a lot about it. Curious about whether the Mercedes-Benz EQG could be the EV for you? Here's everything we know so far.
Design
Fear not -- the EQG will retain many of the design aspects of the G-Class that you already know and love but with a modern face-lift. The EQG will keep the boxy design that gives the G-Class a classic look but with some additional modern styling, at least if the concept version is anything to go by.

Rivian R2 vs. Kia EV9: battle of affordable electric SUVs

Kia EV9 GT-Line Three Quarters

The long-awaited Rivian R2 has finally been announced, and it's an excellent option for those who want an electric SUV that doesn't completely break the bank. Sure, the R2 isn't cheap -- but it's a whole lot cheaper than most other EVs out there, especially when it comes to SUVs. But Rivian isn't the only company trying to tackle the problem of the budget electric SUV. The Kia EV9 is finally available, and it too offers a modern design and a range of helpful features.

Given the fact that the Rivian R2 and Kia EV9 are two electric SUVs in a similar price range, you might be wondering which is better for your needs. That's why we put the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 head-to-head.
Design
Both the Rivian R2 and the Kia EV9 are actual SUVs -- not crossovers pretending to be SUVs, like plenty of other EVs out there. The two vehicles offer big, boxy designs and plenty of interior space, making them excellent options for families or those who need that extra storage.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?

The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
