With a mere eight days to go, Ferrari has decided to tease us with an all-too-quick glimpse of its upcoming supercar.

Kindly requesting that we save the date, the Maranello outfit will officially pull the curtain back on its newest prancing stallion the F620, which Ferrari is labeling as the “most powerful Ferrari ever.”

While spy shots and rumors regarding its composition have been circulating the web for a while now, it appears the date is finally approaching – and in typical Ferrari fashion, it’s approaching us rather quickly.

Exact details on the new F620 GT haven’t been released yet, based on what we have seen, though, the F 620 GT will be a front-engined, rear drive V12 designed to carry the torch the Ferrari 599 has so successfully done up until now. We anticipate the F620 GT to be lighter than the 599, making extensive use of aluminum in its construction. The Ferrari F620 GT is also said to feature a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with an F1-style electronic differential.

Look for Ferrari to officially unveil the F620 on February 29th with its public debut coming shortly after that at this year’s Geneva Motor Show.

QuickCharge: This Week in EV

Order an Uber and a self-driving Mustang might show up

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Ordering an Uber in London could come with a surprise today. Instead of a conventional car and driver pulling up, you might find a Ford Mustang Mach-E that can drive itself. Uber has launched London's first public robotaxi service in partnership with British autonomous driving company Wayve. The service is available through the Uber app, meaning you don't need to download anything new or book a special type of ride to try it.

There is one important caveat. Although the cars will handle the driving themselves, a trained safety operator will initially sit behind the wheel, ready to intervene if necessary. Fully driverless rides are planned for a later stage. The launch fleet consists of electric Mustang Mach-Es equipped with cameras, radar, and Wayve's AI Driver technology. These systems give the vehicle a 360-degree view of what's happening around it. And if anywhere can put that technology through its paces, London seems like a pretty good candidate.

Range Rover Electric arrives with 543hp, 600km range, and a starting price of the moon

The electric Range Rover is here, and your wallet may need CPR

Range Rover EV

The Range Rover has never been shy about luxury, size or price, and its first fully electric version is carrying that tradition into the EV era. Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR) first battery-electric Range Rover is now open for orders, starting at £154,070, or about $208,420. That makes it one of the most expensive electric SUVs on the market.

The electric model costs almost £50,000 more than the standard combustion-engine Range Rover. It is priced in the same territory as the electric Mercedes-Benz G 580 and not far from ultra-luxury gasoline SUVs such as the Bentley Bentayga.

A solar ambulance has successfully tackled 500 miles of difficult terrain

Stella Juva

For years, solar-powered vehicles have largely lived in the world of prototypes, university projects and ambitious demonstrations. Now, one has completed the kind of test that matters far more than a flashy concept reveal: it drove hundreds of miles through difficult terrain while carrying medical equipment and generating enough electricity to operate independently.

Called Stella Juva, the vehicle was developed by Solar Team Eindhoven, a group of 23 students from Eindhoven University of Technology and two other educational institutions. According to a CNN report, the team describes it as the world's first solar ambulance. Unlike a conventional ambulance, however, Stella Juva is designed less to rush patients to hospitals and more to bring medical care to people who cannot easily reach it.
