Mat Watson of CarWow lined up the heaviest Porsche ever built against a Ferrari 296 GTS to settle a simple question. Does massive electric power beat a lighter hybrid supercar when the lights go green?

Khyzyl Saleem, the digital artist known online as the_kyza, has given the new Ferrari 849 Testarossa a second life. His unofficial redesign takes the modern plug-in hybrid supercar and reshapes it so it feels like a natural continuation of the original mid-1980s Testarossa rather than a clean break from the past.

Mitchell Button of Button Built took a 1996 Ferrari F355 and refused to leave any part of it alone. The result appeared at the 2019 SEMA Show and has spent the years since turning up at shops, retail spaces, and museums. Now the car crosses the block at Barrett-Jackson’s Las Vegas auction in mid-September with no reserve.

Ferrari’s first fully electric model arrived this spring and immediately divided opinion. Critics called the Luce everything from bland to unrecognizable as a product from Maranello. Sales still moved quickly, and the very first chassis later sold at auction for forty million dollars. Into that mix steps a digital designer known as ildar_project, who has produced a series of rendered images that stretch the car into widebody territory and set it against the sand and sky of Dubai.
A small workshop in Sant’Agata Bolognese has just rolled out a full-size prototype that looks ready to pick a fight with history. Silvestri Automobili, a new boutique outfit founded by Massimiliano Silvestri after nearly three decades working around Maranello and Modena, calls it the MN 40 Tributo. The letters stand for Materazzi Nicola 40, a direct nod to the late engineer who shaped the Ferrari F40, the Lancia Stratos and the Bugatti EB110.
