Ferrari EVs to complement petrol and hybrid models, not replace them

-
Image
Ferrari plans to run multiple powertrain strategies in parallel rather than pursue an all-electric transition, confirmed its chief executive officer, Benedetto Vigna, at IIT Bombay’s E-Summit 2025. The Italian marque will add electric cars to its line-up without abandoning combustion engines or hybrids, as it seeks to offer driving emotion and customer choice amid tightening global regulations. Vigna said Ferrari’s approach to electrification is rooted in emotion, not regulation-driven timelines. “Today we are adding to our portfolio of cars – that is, combustion and hybrid – we are adding the electric cars,” he said. “We are not transitioning only to electric cars.” Ferrari EV and electrification strategy Ferrari CEO says the strategy is “emotion-driven innovation”.

2025 Mini Cooper S Convertible: 4 reasons to buy and 3 to skip it

-

Mini India has launched the Cooper S Convertible at an ex-showroom price of Rs 58.50 lakh, before options, making it the most affordable convertible car in the country .

At Autocar India, we've put dozens of motorcycles through our testing protocols using a GPS-based data logging system. What we’ve come to find is that you don’t need to spend an exorbitant amount of money to get access to some properly quick machines. Here are the 5 fastest bikes we’ve tested under Rs 3 lakh, ranked by their 0-100kph times. 5. TVS Apache RTR 310 0-100kph: 6.66s The TVS Apache RTR 310 rounds out our list in fifth place. Powered by a 312cc single-cylinder engine producing 35.6hp and 28.7Nm, the Apache RTR 310 is the brand’s flagship streetfighter. Despite being the smallest displacement bike on this list, it manages respectable acceleration thanks to its relatively light kerb weight of 169kg. Prices for the Apache RTR 310 start at Rs 2.21 lakh and go up to Rs 2.87 lakh.  4. Triumph Thruxton 400  0-100kph: 6.62s The Triumph Thruxton 400 takes fourth place with a 0-100kph time of 6.62 seconds, just a few milliseconds quicker than the Speed 400, which we cl...
