What’s it like to drive the Ferrari LaFerrari? Check out this first-drive video roundup

Add as a preferred source on Google

Over a year after its unveiling at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari’s LaFerrari hybrid supercar is finally ready to do battle with the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder.

Ferrari recently held the media drive for its new flagship, and several outlets have already recorded their impressions, along with plenty of tire smoke.

So far, English-language video reviews have been posted by Autocar, Evo, and Car and Driver.

Ferrari’s first hybrid features a 6.3-liter V12 and a Hy-Kers hybrid system, which produce a combined 950 horsepower. So while the Ferrari can’t run on electric power like its McLaren and Porsche rivals, it does produce more power than either of them.

It will also reportedly do 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and reach a top speed of over 218 mph.

If that sounds good to you, too bad. The entire 500-unit production run sold out almost before the LaFerrari was unveiled, although one “used” example did turn up at a dealer a few months back wearing a $3.2 million price tag.

So for now, enjoy all of the LaFerrari goodness the Internet has to offer below.

This makes EVgo one of the first US networks to build Tesla's own charger design onto its stations, following a broader expansion that began with a $1.25 billion federal loan to add 7,500 new charging stalls nationwide.

The new Geely E2 undercuts many rivals while highlighting China's affordable EV momentum.
Transportation, Vehicle, Car

This is not the first time I’ve watched European or Chinese car shoppers, for that matter, get a chance to buy genuinely affordable EVs. Meanwhile, American buyers keep hearing and talking about higher starting prices and fewer features on the entry-level trim. 

Geely’s new compact electric hatchback costs 19,490 EUR in Belgium, or roughly $22,490, and is yet another example of the same. While the entry price is only available for a limited time, I'm talking about the overall package the automaker is offering.

Google Assistant’s long goodbye now has a firm date. Google says it will begin discontinuing the voice assistant on eligible mobile devices on September 4, 2026, according to an email sent to users and shared publicly on Reddit.

The transition may take several weeks, so Assistant won’t vanish from every device at once. Once the change reaches an eligible Android device, Gemini will replace Assistant with no option to switch back.
