Hopefully you are by now familiar with the YouTube channel “TaxtheRich100.” If not, then it’s essential you take some time to catch up on some of their best documented shenanigans, like when they turned a Rolls Royce and Ferrari Enzo into a rally car, or lit a Jaguar XJ220 on fire with a burnout.

Enthusiasts might cringe at just the thought of how these activities might damage such iconic cars, but it’s hard to deny the entertainment value. And the hits keep on coming as TTR has just released a new video featuring a Ferrari F40 and a Farm.

More specifically, this is the Ferrari F40 GT version, of which only seven examples were produced between 1991 and 1992. The GT was made unique by a reinforced chassis, a racing interior, stiffer suspension, up-rated brakes, competition gearbox, wider wheels and a specially prepared engine that produced 590 horsepower.

A warning to all Ferrari lovers: this special livery F40 was not treated with the kindness it deserves, but more the careless whims of a 17-year-old steering a beater Honda Civic. The video’s title, “Farmkhana,” alludes to its Gymkhana-esque experience. At least the potential damage is far less than some of TTR’s other videos. And at the very least you can close your eyes and enjoy the sound of a howling V12.

It does make you wonder how much money these guys are playing around with in this video, though, considering prices for a standard F40 have crested $2 million recently. With such a rare example of an already-rare car, TTR might as well be hooning a Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 all at once for less of a potential loss.

Alas, I’d still say it’s better to drive a Ferrari F40 like a maniac than to never drive it at all — a sin which many collectors are guilty of committing.

Here’s how EVs charge as they drive on a stretch of Michigan road
Tech of the Week Electreon

Charging remains one of the biggest hurdles for mass EV adoption. Public charging infrastructure still isn’t extensive enough to merit driver confidence, and even the fastest chargers still require lengthy stops compared to refueling a gasoline car. But the State of Michigan and Israeli startup Electreon hope to prove that EVs can charge as they drive.

As detailed in a recent CleanTechnica explainer, the Michigan Department of Transportation is demonstrating in-road wireless charging hardware from Electreon on a quarter-mile stretch of 14th Street in Detroit. It’s being billed as the first such roadway in the U.S.

Range of Mercedes-Benz G580 vehicles

Rumors about a full-size electric G-Class have been circulating for some time, but it's official now. The G-Wagon is going electric, in the form of the new fully electric "Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology." Yep, the name is a mouthful -- taking the name from the concept version of this car, the Concept EQG, might have been a better move. Bu, regardless, the vehicle is sure to appeal to those who want a G-Wagon while getting all the benefits of an EV.

Curious about the G580 with EQ Technology? Here's everything you need to know.
Design
The G580 retains many of the design aspects of the G-Class you already know and love, and while the concept iteration had some modern touches, like light bars on the exterior of the car, the real-world version looks pretty similar to the non-electric G-Wagon, though that's not to say there aren't any design changes whatsoever.
