HP and Ferrari teamed up to build a $5,599 limited-edition AI laptop. Just 4,999 units will be made, each individually numbered. It features Ferrari-inspired styling, carbon fiber, and 180 TOPS of AI performance. May was a rough month for Ferrari, with the highly controversial Luce debut leading the charge . June brings something easier on the eye, a limited-edition laptop that pairs decent if not quite high-end hardware with design cues influenced by Ferrari. Make no mistake, though, this is a branding exercise at heart, and the $5,599 asking price settles any argument. Ferrari and HP just unveiled the HP Limited Edition Scuderia Ferrari AI PC, a premium notebook that blends the Italian marque’s branding and colors with HP’s latest AI-focused hardware. The collaboration has reportedly been in development for nearly two years and will be limited to just 4,999 examples worldwide. While automakers have slapped logos on laptops bef...

Ford and Lincoln had a bad May as both brands posted big declines. Following the death of the Escape, Ford sales dropped 13.3%. Every Lincoln model posted declines, leading to a 20.5% drop. Ford’s first quarter sales fell 8.8%, so the company brought back employee pricing for all on May 1. The offer runs through July 6 and consumers can save around $2,000 on a number of models including the Bronco, Bronco Sport, and Mustang. Unfortunately for Ford, the incentive isn’t working as combined May sales tumbled 13.6% compared to a year ago. The automaker sold 190,828 vehicles last month, which was down 30,131 units from 2025. More: Ford’s F-150 Supply Cratered 40% And GM Smells Blood The drop can largely be blamed on Ford’s own decisions as sales of the discontinued Escape plunged 80.3% to 3,427 units. It’s also worth noting, once again, that Escape buyers aren’t migrating to the Bronco Sport as sales of ...

Chrysler appears set to revive its lineup with two rebadged Fiat crossovers. The models were shown internally as the Chrysler Arrow and Arrow Cross. Both could give Chrysler badly needed affordable SUVs below the Pacifica. Nobody needs a reminder that Chrysler has largely fizzled out as a brand in recent years. Since the 300 went out of production, it’s been a one-vehicle company, its showrooms carrying nothing but the Pacifica and Voyager minivan twins. That’s about to change. As we reported earlier today, Fiat just launched two new crossovers called the Grizzly and Grizzly Fastback . It turns out that they’re coming to America, but they’ll wear Chrysler badges and faces when they do. Stellantis showed both vehicles behind closed doors at its May 21 Capital Markets Day event in Michigan, wearing Chrysler badges and lightly reworked fascias, Auto News reports. The Grizzly Fastback is said to have appeared as the Chrysl...

Work continues on Audi’s highly anticipated TT successor. New Porsche-based mule has been spied undergoing testing. Upcoming model will go into production next year in Germany. Audi introduced the Concept C at last year’s Munich Motor Show and the model continues its slow march to production. Spy photographers snapped the first mules over a year ago and hardly anything has changed since then. As you can see in the latest images, Audi is still testing mules based on the upcoming Porsche 718 Boxster EV. However, the car has been equipped with extended fender flares that hint at a wider track than on its corporate cousin. More: This Porsche 718 Could Be Hiding Audi’s Next TT That’s not much to go on, but it’s a little surprising we’re still seeing mules rather than proper prototypes. In April, Audi announced their electric sports car would go into production in 2027 and be built at their Böllinge...

Rolls-Royce has introduced the new Spectre Series II. Model sports a beefier battery pack and upgraded motors. Luxury coupe has a revamped interior with new options. Four years after its introduction, Rolls-Royce has introduced an updated Spectre. Known as the Series II, the model benefits from styling changes, an upgraded powertrain, and significantly increased range. Looking instantly recognizable, the electric coupe eschews the expected facelift. Instead, the only exterior changes appear to be a new Ethereal Blue paint job and 23-inch forged alloy wheels, which offer a part-polished or fully polished finish. Review: The Rolls-Royce Spectre Is The Ultimate EV That’s a tad surprising, but the Spectre Black Badge goes a step further as it now features Iced Black Exterior Detailing, which sees most brightwork replaced by a matte finish. The performance variant also rides on new wheels for an “even more imposing visual chara...
