Maserati GT2 Stradale One-Off Honors the MC12

Most cars are built to go fast. This one was also built to remember. Maserati took a GT2 Stradale through its Fuoriserie personalization program and turned it into a one-off rolling tribute to the MC12, the race car that brought the Trident back to international GT racing in style. The collector who ordered it got a fitting debut too, with the car parked right next to an MC12 at Villa La Massa Excellence 2026, a concours d'elegance held on a historic estate along the Arno River just outside Florence.

Ford F-350 XL Off-Road Package Rivals the Tremor

Labor costs in Hungary sit below what Mercedes pays in Germany, and a smaller vehicle carries thinner margins than the big flagship models.

What Big Families Should Look For in a Reliable Full-Size SUV

Shopping for a three-row hauler with room for a whole crew is a big financial decision, and the wrong pick can mean years of repair bills and roadside headaches. The good news is that a handful of full-size SUVs have earned their keep by seating up to eight people, towing heavy trailers, and holding up over the long haul. Third-row legroom and eight-passenger seating separate true family haulers from pretenders. Towing muscle and proven powertrains keep camper and boat trips stress-free. Reliability scores, recall history, and repair costs matter more than horsepower bragging rights.
