FERRARI 12CILINDRI, RAM TRX MAY RETURN + MORE! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers several significant automotive debuts and rumors. The highlight is the Ferrari 12Cilindri, the successor to the 812 Superfast. It revives the naturally aspirated V12 engine, producing 819 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Notable changes include a shorter wheelbase and updated handling systems, though its styling is described as divisive. The interior receives modern touches like a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Aston Martin is also bringing back its V12, with a new twin-turbo V12 engine producing 824 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, likely for a new Vanquish model. Other news includes a rumored 718 horsepower BMW M5, the potential return of a high-horsepower RAM TRX (possibly electric), and the Jeep Grand Cherokee dropping its V6 for a 2.0L turbo-four. The Honda Prelude is rumored to receive a modest 207 horsepower hybrid powertrain, which the reviewer finds disappointing. Polestar tested a new 77 kWh battery capable of a 10-80% charge in 10 minutes. Finally, new NHTSA regulations will mandate automatic emergency braking systems that can stop for vehicles and pedestrians at higher speeds by 2029.
