Rob Dyrdek’s Selling His Ferrari F12 and Picking Up a New Ferrari 488 GTB

Say it ain't so?! Rob Dyrdek is officially selling his beloved Ferrari F12. As shocking as it sounds, we had a feeling this was coming sooner than later judging by his recent visit to Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant.

So it's out with the old and in with the new for Dyrdek. He's ditching his V12 muscle for some 661 hp V8 Twin Turbo "madness". Rob shared a photo of himself with the design of his new Ferrari 488 GTB.

Oh, and if you're in the market for a sweet F12, it's waiting for you at Ferrari Beverly Hills.

Porsche Cayman S Long-Term Update: 30K in and It Still Cuts Like a Knife

-WHAT WE LIKE: What we like best is not its rousing engine note or its eagerness to turn or its excellent steering system or its near-perfect shifter. No, what we like best about our long-term Cayman S—now 75 percent of the way through its stay with us—is that a drive in it is an automotive palate cleanser. The Cayman S’s clarity of purpose and deliciously mechanical nature is the perfect salve for our enthusiast hearts after commuting in overwrought crossovers or whittling away hours of our lives in CVT-equipped econoboxes or driving any number of cars that, despite excellent performance, fail to connect with their drivers. Nothing that we’ve encountered in our 30,000 miles with the car has diminished the Cayman S’s place as our North Star of sports-car goodness. We have no proof of this, but we’re convinced that the word “love” has never appeared so many times in any of the logbooks of previous long-term cars. The most recent note in the book reads, “I wish this car’s odometer would stop working so that we might keep it forever.” READ MORE ››

Fiat-Chrysler Recalling 158,671 Jeep Cherokees for Potential Wiper Fault

-

Fiat-Chrysler’s recall woes for the latest Jeep Cherokee just keep coming. The latest in a line of recalls for the crossover addresses static electricity buildup on the windshield wipers when they’re operated in dry conditions. An internal FCA investigation revealed the issue, which affects 158,671 2014 Cherokees in the U.S., as well as 47,997 abroad.

The static electricity buildup can affect the control module for the windshield wipers, potentially rendering the wipers inoperative. Jeep says that the fix calls for dealers to install a ground strap to the modules to “eliminate the potential for static buildup.” Customers will be instructed to visit their dealers for ground-strap installation, which will be performed at no cost.

2015 Mercedes-Benz E400 4MATIC Coupe Tested: Sometimes Big Power Isn’t Everything

-

Well, this is refreshing, a Mercedes coupe that’s actually a coupe—with two doors. It’s one of four available E-class body styles, joining a traditional four-door sedan, a station wagon, and a convertible. It’s an extensive lineup with a number of engine options that brings the total available models to 14, including a thrifty 2.1-liter turbo-diesel and a big-output twin-turbo V-8 in the E63 AMG at the top of the range.
