Used LaFerrari – in ‘like new’ condition – on sale for the low, low price of $3.2 million

Applying to buy a limited edition Ferrari is more demanding than applying for Harvard. After all, Harvard lets a hell of a lot more than 500 people in each year. But that hasn’t stopped one owner of the brand new LaFerrari from beating the system, and immediately putting their car up for sale.

Ferrari screens buyers of its most special cars for precisely this reason. It wants to prevent people who only want to flip the cars from getting their greedy hands on them. And this example helps explain why. Ferrari sells their amazing hypercar for around $1.8 million. And that might seem like a lot; but the LaFerrari we are talking about is on sale for $3.24 million – or, in other words, double the retail price.

Why would anyone pay such a massive premium for a car? Well, other than the fact that limited edition Ferraris usually go up in value, the LaFerrri is a pretty incredible car. Like the Porsche 918 Spyder and the McLaren P1, it’s a hybrid. And also like those cars it can blow past 60 mph in under 3.0 seconds.

Without having driving it, it’s hard to say just how incredible the LaFerrari is to drive. But this is a Ferrari we are talking about and the replacement for the Enzo, which was widely reputed to be the best supercars ever. So I would imagine words like ‘great’ and ‘amazing’ don’t really do the experience justice.

No word on who the sneaky buyer is, but they must have pulled off quite the application. Apparently the LaFerrari was such a big deal that Ferrari Chairman – and winner of the annual most Italian name competition – Luca di Montezemolo chose the final list himself.

But whomever managed to accomplish this should look out, because I can’t imagine Ferrari is going to be pleased. When you pull stunts like this with Italians, you are lucky if all you wind up with is a horse’s head in your bed.

Kia EV4: everything we know so far
Kia EV4 Front

Kia is continuing to expand its electric car lineup. The EV6 and EV9 have both been out for some time now, and the company is in the middle of rolling out the EV3 in Europe, with a North American release expected next year. After that, it's likely the company will turn to the EV5. But what about after that? Well, that could be where the Kia EV4 comes in.

Kia announced a concept version of the EV4 at its EV Day in 2023, showing off a futuristic-looking hatchback that's seemingly a little smaller than the EV6, but keeps many design elements. Since then, Kia has confirmed very few details about it, though we have seen it shown off at other automotive events. Here's everything we know about the Kia EV4 so far.
Kia EV4 design
The Kia EV4, or at least the concept version of it, is smaller than the EV6, and much smaller than the EV9. It's actually closer in size to a sedan than anything else, though with its open trunk, it could be considered a hatchback. Regardless, it certainly blurs the line between the two. So much so, that in recent months we've actually seen a full hatchback version of the EV4 being tested -- and it's possible that Kia is pivoting the design of the EV4 entirely to be a hatch, or will be releasing both hatchback and sedan versions.
