Think Ferraris are exclusive? The Pininfarina Sergio is invite-only

By Andrew Hard Published October 29, 2014

You know a car is valuable when money alone, no matter the amount, isn’t enough to buy it. The Pininfarina-designed Ferrari Sergio is one of those cars.

Molded from the bones of a Ferrari 458, the Sergio first showed up at the 2013 Geneva Motor show as a concept. CNN Money is now reporting that Ferrari plans to produce six examples of the Pininfarina for ‘special’ customers.

Special, indeed. The cars will likely cost several million dollars (the price hasn’t been disclosed yet), and all six vehicles will meet their buyers by manufacturer invite only.

Those lucky six have reportedly already been chosen, and will take delivery in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. So if you’re hoping to see one of these reclusive beauties rolling down Australia’s Great Ocean Road one day, you’re probably out of luck.

Ferrari has been long known as an ambassador to the bespoke, with unique, custom vehicles like the Dino Berlinetta Speciale, Ferrari Mythos, and Ferrari Modulo littering the Italian brand’s storied history.

Nobody knows that better than Eric Clapton, the legendary guitar player who had a one-of-a-kind SP12 EC built for him in 2012. Like the Sergio, the SP12 is based on the Ferrari 458, but takes styling cues from one of Clapton’s favorite models: the 512 BB.

Ferrari swapped the Italia’s swooping headlights for more rectangular units, and the BB’s distinct vented hood and two-tone body were featured prominently on the EC. Although many details of the car remain confidential, reports indicate the car cost $4.7 million to make.

Because both one-offs have the same starting point, the SP12 EC and Sergio house the same 4.5-liter, 570-horsepower V8 as the 458. The duo will equally tackle the 0 to 62 mph sprint in 3.4 seconds, before topping out at around 200 mph.

Mini’s infotainment system is very charming, but still needs work

Main screen of the Mini infotainment system

When you think Mini, you probably don’t think of infotainment. Personally, I think of the British flag taillights, the distinct exterior, and the surprising room on the inside. But after driving the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman over the past week, infotainment might well be something I think of more often when it comes to Mini. It’s charming.

It also, however, suffers from all the traps that other legacy automakers fall into when it comes to software design. Mini has something on its hands here — but it still needs some work.
Bringing the charm
The first thing that stood out to me about the system when I got in the car was how fun it was. That all starts with the display. It’s round! No, it’s not curved — the screen is a big, round display sits in at 9.4 inches, and I found it plenty large enough for day-to-day use.

Plug-in hybrids are becoming more popular. Why? And will it continue?

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.

Nearly all current owners of electric vehicles (EVs) are either satisfied or very satisfied with the experience, and 92% of them plan to buy another EV, according to a survey by the Global EV Drivers Alliance.

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.
