Rolls-Royce Spectre S2: 628 km and faster charging

The Spectre Series II gets a meaningful range bump and quicker charging — the first real-world improvements since launch.

WLTP range rises to 628 km and charging speed increases, though Rolls hasn't published the exact kW figure yet. Buyers who quietly complained about the original's real-world range will be less vocal at the next golf club dinner.

Ferrari says no to self-driving — full stop

Ferrari's CEO publicly rejects autonomous driving, calling the driver, not the silicon, the point of the car.

Benedict Vigna stated flatly that Ferrari's purpose is human driving pleasure, not computer-controlled transport. The Ferrari Luce EV prototype was simultaneously spotted wearing hilariously oversized wipers, making it a complicated week for Ferrari's PR team.

Lotus CEO calls his own Evija too heavy

When your CEO publicly admits the flagship hypercar is overweight, the next lighter chapter is already being written.

Lotus CEO Feng Qingfeng stated any sports car exceeding 3,900 lbs (1,769 kg) is fundamentally compromised — the Evija weighs more than that. A remarkable piece of self-sabotage and a clear signal that whatever comes next from Hethel will be significantly lighter.
