Ferrari CZ26: what if the Luce had a baby with a SF90
Ferrari rolled out a new one-off at Monterey called the CZ26, and the face of it looks a lot like the brand’s first electric car. Underneath, it’s an SF90 Stradale plug-in hybrid with a 7.9 kWh battery and 25 km of electric range. So Ferrari built something that wears the Luce’s design language on top of a twin-turbo V8. Basically, what you’d get if the Luce and the SF90 had a baby.

Turning millions of Teslas and Mach-Es into V2L power stations: WETOX D2 earns world’s first Next-Gen V2X certification from SGS
The ability to tap into the energy locked inside your car’s battery to power tools, lights, campground gear, and essential home appliances during an outage has quickly become one of the most desirable EV features. The problem? Many electric vehicles already on the road – including millions of Teslas (Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y)! – were never sold with native vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability. The new D2 power adapter from WETOX changes all that, using the car’s native charge port and turning more EVs into portable power stations.
