You have to wait a while for Ferrari to release one of its range-topping halo cars. Since the 1980s, there have only been a few: the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari, and now the F80. Has the 12-year wait since the introduction of its predecessor been worth it? In the video below, experienced racer and automotive journalist Chris Harris tests the Prancing Horse on a track in Italy and the nearby public roads to find out.
Like the LaFerrari, the F80 is a hybrid, but the latter machine benefits from more than a decade of advancements. Some would argue the F80’s use of a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 is a major step down from a naturally aspirated V12, but the 900 horsepower the smaller engine delivers softens the blow. Plus, the electric front axle and electric motor add another 300, giving the F80 a 237-horsepower edge over the LaFerrari. As a result of those numbers and the instant spool of its dual e-turbos, the F80 is faster. Hitting 62 mph only takes 2.15 seconds (versus 2.9); doubling that speed requires a total of 5.75 seconds, which the LaFerrari can’t match.
Stats are great, but what is the F80 like to drive? Harris started out riding shotgun next to a Ferrari factory driver for a few laps around the Misano World Circuit. When he emerged from the cockpit after being thrown into high-speed curves, he described the F80 as “violent.” Once Harris got behind the wheel himself, he praised the instant response of the turbos, the way the steering builds up weight, the outstanding traction—the list goes on and on.
Despite its design, track prowess, and insane output, Ferrari identifies the F80 as a road car. Harris deems it an impressive road car for the surprisingly good ride quality from its Multimatic dampers.
Overall, Harris finds the F80 to be something fundamentally different from its competitors in a major way. What exactly is that? Watch the video below to find out—and see Harris turn some Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires into expensive smoke.
It’s not every day that you see a big-block Corvette. In fact, it’s been more than 50 years since Chevrolet last offered a Corvette with a Mark IV V8. Luckily, we spotted this 1971 Stingray at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Scottsdale Auction. Not only was it restored and repainted in its original color of Steel Cities Gray, but it also had a massive LS5 454ci V8 that was factory-rated at 365 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. In addition to all that power, this C3 had plenty of conveniences, such as power steering, power windows, power brakes, air conditioning, and a Turbo Hydra-matic automatic transmission.
The highest bidder drove this big-block Vette home (probably leaving some burn-out marks along the way) for $66,000.
The AutoHunter Spotlight for today is this restored 1979 International Scout II. Power comes from International’s 345ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include four-inch Rough Country lift kit, bucket seats and console, air conditioning, upgraded sound system, backup camera, and more. Painted gray with a black vinyl and plaid cloth interior, this 4WD proto-SUV is now offered by the selling dealer with a clear title.
The photogenic gray paint is new, as is the decal kit that adorns all four sides. Other exterior features include a tan softtop, dual chrome side mirrors, and white grille with matching bumpers front and rear. A set of 15-inch white and chrome wheels (with manual front locking hubs) are wrapped in 33×10.50 BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A off-road tires.
The redone black vinyl interior features front bucket seats with gray and red plaid cloth, plus matching door panels. Other interior features include power steering, air conditioning, center console, Bluetooth-compatible touchscreen stereo with back-up camera and upgraded sound system that includes MTX Audio subwoofers and Rockville amplifier. The red seat belts are a nice touch.
The instrument panel features a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for the oil pressure, temperature, alternator, and fuel. The odometer shows 10,601 miles, though the title reads mileage-exempt.
The 345ci V8 features a four-barrel carburetor, which developed 148 horsepower when new. It is backed by a Chrysler A-727 TorqueFlite, which International sourced since 1972. There also is a two-speed transfer case. The seller indicates that all seals were changed earlier this year.
The undercarriage features a four-inch Rough Country lift kit, power front disc brakes, and a dual exhaust system (originally, it was single). The brakes, gas tank with fuel lines, and exhaust system are new.
This 1979 International Scout II with 4WD currently listed on AutoHunter is a neat way to experience the ruggedness, 1970s style, and utility that only a Scout can give. Plus, as a cherry on top, the seller states (s)he is willing to assist with transportation to you once you win, so why not pull the trigger now and place a bid? Do it before Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. (PDT) because once the clock passes that threshold, you will no longer have that opportunity. Good luck!

The 1990s started 35 years ago (yikes!) but, in many ways, the decade of the Clinton administration and the Dallas Cowboys winning Super Bowls is still going strong. There are people out there who watch Friends every day. You can buy baggy, oversized clothing from J. Crew and Polo. And the XJ Jeep Cherokee, which was primarily produced in the ’90s (1984-2001), is a perennial favorite of off-roaders and those who enjoy nostalgic vehicles. Our Pick of the Day, a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Country 4X4, is even more representative of its time for one major reason.
Any guesses? You could say the Cherokee’s boxy design is from an era in which car companies didn’t give their SUVs fast rooflines to make them look like sport coupes, but that’s not what I’m getting at. The reason this XJ is super ’90s is its color: the Bright Jade Metallic on this rig fits right in with the teals, greens, and aquas that seemed to be so popular back then. Silver bumpers, wheel arches, and lower-body cladding keep it from being too visually loud.
The 1990s was also before most vehicles had infotainment screens in them, so the cabin is pretty straightforward. That doesn’t mean it’s spartan, though. Yes, it has light gray cloth and vinyl seating, but it also comes equipped with power windows and locks, cruise control, air conditioning, four-speed automatic, and a Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit. The trusty 4.0-liter inline-six and the lever for the dual-range transfer case are great for making sure this Jeep gets out of the sticky situations that Cherokees typically encounter.
Over the past 29 years, this XJ has racked up only 115,904 miles, which is significantly lower than the mileage you usually see on Cherokees of this age (many of which have been extensively modified and trail-beaten). According to the CARFAX report, it has received several mechanical updates along the way: in 2016, the serpentine belt was replaced, and new cooling and exhaust system parts were installed in 2018. Plus, within the past two years, the power steering system has been equipped with fresh hardware. In a previous listing for this vehicle, the seller at the time noted the presence of corrosion on the undercarriage; the CARFAX indicates an undercoating was applied in June of this year.
Whether you want to throw on your favorite Starter jacket and head to the mountains, or jam out to Soundgarden during a windows-down drive to the beach, an XJ Cherokee is a great retro way to get there (just don’t expect to get a McDonald’s Arch Deluxe or a Crystal Pepsi on your way out of town). To start going on adventures in this 1996 Jeep Cherokee Country 4X4, it’ll cost you $13,995.
