  • 2012 Ferrari FF

    We’ve heard plenty of details about Ferrari’s plans for its 458 Italia mid-cycle update due next year, but the FF is almost as old, having first hit the scene in 2011, and should be receiving its own mid-cycle update in 2016. We now have some news on the updated FF, courtesy of a report from British publication CAR. According to the report, the updated FF will maintain a naturally aspirated V-12 but will have an output close to 700 horsepower instead of the current 651-horsepower rating. The car will also maintain its 4RM all-wheel-drive system albeit with revisions to enhance...

  • 2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
