With a mere eight days to go, Ferrari has decided to tease us with an all-too-quick glimpse of its upcoming supercar.

Kindly requesting that we save the date, the Maranello outfit will officially pull the curtain back on its newest prancing stallion the F620, which Ferrari is labeling as the “most powerful Ferrari ever.”

While spy shots and rumors regarding its composition have been circulating the web for a while now, it appears the date is finally approaching – and in typical Ferrari fashion, it’s approaching us rather quickly.

Exact details on the new F620 GT haven’t been released yet, based on what we have seen, though, the F 620 GT will be a front-engined, rear drive V12 designed to carry the torch the Ferrari 599 has so successfully done up until now. We anticipate the F620 GT to be lighter than the 599, making extensive use of aluminum in its construction. The Ferrari F620 GT is also said to feature a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with an F1-style electronic differential.

Look for Ferrari to officially unveil the F620 on February 29th with its public debut coming shortly after that at this year’s Geneva Motor Show.

There's a lot of talk about the idea that the growth in electric car sales has kind of slowed a little. It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.

The survey of 23,000 EV drivers worldwide found that only 1% would return to a petrol or diesel car, while 4% would opt for a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) if they had to replace their car.

The transition team of President-elect Donald Trump is planning to end existing car-crash reporting requirements to safety regulators, according to a Reuters report.

The report cites a document obtained by Reuters that lays out the transition team’s 100-day strategy for automotive policy. In the document, the team says the crash-reporting requirement leads to “excessive” data collection, Reuters says.
