Ferrari’s EV Problem, Lotus Gets Wilder, and Jay Leno Garage Stories

from Full Throttle Talk · host Tim Harris

Ferrari just revealed the Luce, its first EV, and the reaction was not exactly quiet. Blair and Shinoo break down why the design, price point, and Ferrari badge have created so much controversy — and whether this is a bold move or a massive miss. They also cover the new Lotus Emira 420, the reality of softening new car sales, Shinoo’s latest shop updates, including the supercharged Corvette E-Ray and 996RR progress, plus a deep dive into what it was really like taking the BAC Mono and Drakan Spyder to Jay Leno’s Garage. And in this week’s “This or That,” the guys ask the obvious question: if you had around $750,000 to spend, would you really buy Ferrari’s EV… or build a much better garage? Topics include: Ferrari Luce EV reaction Lotus Emira 420 Porsche 996RR updates Supercharged Corvette E-Ray Jay Leno’s Garage behind the scenes BAC Mono and Drakan Spyder New car sales slowdown Ferrari 296, 458, 812 Superfast, Taycan Cross Turismo, Tesla Model X The problem with expensive EVs For more car talk, market takes, and stories from inside the enthusiast world, subscribe to the Full Throttle Talk newsletter at fullthrottletalk.com.
