A video has surfaced on Instagram of what looks like the end of a well-known and extremely valuable Ferrari F40, which, unlike today's 296 GTB, for example, has no special electronic aids to save you from bad driving.

In 2022, Toyota launched the all-electric bZ4X. Journalists rolled their eyes and made an effort while everyone else that read about it instantly forgot the name.

On hot summer days, hitting the beach is a great way to have fun and cool off. But if you’re not near the salty ocean, you might opt for swimming in a freshwater stream, river, lake or pool. These freshwater swimming holes are great, but they come with a hidden danger. While it’s very rare, it can be deadly – a brain infection by a microbe widely known as the “brain-eating amoeba”.

However, the Skytop is not a throwback design. Instead, it's a hyper-sculpted, forward-looking touring car with a removable targa roof that can be stowed in the trunk.
