Woah, check out the spec of this uniquely-liveried Pagani Utopia
If you're speccing the third Pagani for your collection, you probably want to push the boat out a little bit. Perhaps you want something that'll stand out from the other two, and something that'll look different from all of your mates' Paganis. They're just everywhere, after all.
Perhaps you'd choose a livery like the one you see above. Pagani itself took to Facebook to show off this recently finished £2m+ Utopia, and if the comments section is anything to go by, it's certainly caused a stir.

TikTok's Parent Company Is Bringing Its Tech to Chinese EVs
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. The hybrid sports coupe is nearly here, and Honda is revealing more information for us to dig into. View post: Everything We Know About The 2026 Honda Prelude Before Its September Debut There is no doubt that TikTok is the screen time king If one thing can be truly described as a guilty pleasure in today's digital landscape, it would be TikTok. The infamous short-form video platform has become the dominant social media application, capturing the attention of millions around the world. As much as we may wish to resist the digital siren call, the app's algorithm draws users in with an endless stream of ultra-personalized content that can have us hooked for hours. Its effectiveness has spawned a wave of TikTok imitators from American tech companies such as Google's YouTube Shorts or Meta's Instagram Reels. However, TikTok is more than just a social media video app for influencers. Its parent company, ByteDance, is a technological powerhouse that also specializes in cloud and AI services. According to reports out of China, it could be launching a new initiative to get its cutting-edge tech into the next generation of tech-infused cars. MG IM5 — Source: MG Motor TikTok's parent company may bring its tech to future cars According to recent reports from CarNewsChina and IT-Home, the parent company of TikTok is engaged with Chinese automaker SAIC on a new venture called Doubao Auto. SAIC is one of the 'Big Four' state-owned Chinese automakers, which produces cars under the IM, Maxus, MG (yes, that MG), Rising Auto, Roewe, Baojun, Wuling, Hongyan, and Sunwin brands, and under joint ventures with Volkswagen and General Motors. ByteDance and SAIC, as part of Doubao Auto, are said to be working on intelligent automotive solutions (a Chinese tech world buzzword for autonomous driving features), focusing on 'cockpit and intelligent driving' systems. Doubao Auto would use the Volcano Engine as its software backbone to make a software system similar to Huawei's HarmonyOS, an operating system designed to provide a personalized experience across devices like phones, tablets, smart TVs, and even Huawei-developed electric cars.

MG IM5 — Source: MG Motor The Volcano Engine is already used by prominent Chinese electric vehicle firms, including the state-owned Changan Auto and GAC Aion, as well as the Geely-linked Lynk & Co. Bytedance is planning to invest in an innovative driving solutions company and has recently hired several former employees from the autonomous driving firm Momenta, according to sources cited by IT-Home. This report follows an earlier report from April 2025, in which SAIC president Jia Jianxu said that it is working with Volcano Engine and other AI partners to create in-car software for tailored personalisation and develop a 'comprehensive innovative ecosystem to meet individual user needs.' Yang Liwei, who runs Volcano Engine's automotive division and leads the Smart Mobility and Embodiment Research Institute, mentioned partnering with SAIC to create an AI cockpit product using ByteDance's Doubao large model. He says this new product can act like a personalized in-car assistant that can figure out what users want before they even say it. 'It not only has multimodal perception capabilities, but is more like a personalized assistant that can understand human intentions,' Yang said in April. 'It can predict user needs in advance and think what you want.' Final thoughts CarNewsChina reported that on July 29, a spokesperson from ByteDance's Volcano Engine denied the rumors that Doubao Auto was a 'direct intelligent driving' business, clarifying that while the Volcano engine provides algorithmic training platforms for its automotive clients, 'it currently has no plans to enter the autonomous driving business.' Besides the purported autonomous driving, ByteDance's AI partnership with SAIC is already a technological bag of futuristic marbles. Mind you, Yang Liwei, the guy who runs Volcano Engine's automotive division, said back in April 2025 that the new product that they are working on with SAIC 'is more like a personalized assistant that can understand human intentions' that 'can predict user needs in advance and think what you want.' Knowing how scarily detailed the TikTok algorithm knows me, that's one heck of a hunk of technology that they might put behind those touch screens in future SAIC-brand cars.

Ferrari has scope to trim US premium after EU tariff deal
MILAN, July 31 (Reuters) - Luxury sports-car maker Ferrari ( opens new tab could trim a premium introduced in April for some cars sold in the United States once the lower 15% tariff for European imports takes effect, it said on Thursday. The company also said it was more confident in its financial forecasts for the year but in the absence of upgraded guidance, its Milan-listed shares fell as much as 11%. A Milan-based trader said profit-taking after fairly predictable results was the cause of the fall. As part of a wider trade agreement, the United States and the European Union on Sunday agreed on a 15% tariff on imports of EU-made products, replacing a 27.5% fee for cars that U.S. President Donald Trump imposed in April. Because of the agreement, Italy-based Ferrari said it was removing the 50 basis point risk to its profit margins it introduced earlier this year based on the initial tariff. Ferrari is also preparing to revise a price increase of up to 10% it introduced in April on some cars it exported to the U.S.. "Whenever (the new tariff scheme) becomes effective, we will apply it, for now we stick to our (current) commercial policy," CEO Benedetto Vigna said in a media call. Vigna said that almost all cars the company sold in the U.S. during the second quarter were shipped before the 27.5% tariff was introduced, so the price increases were not applied to them. Despite the reduced tariff impact, and the prospect of industrial costs lower than initial estimates in the second part of the year, Ferrari only said it had "stronger confidence" in the 2025 guidance and reiterated existing forecasts for its full-year results. Vigna said he had test driven Ferrari's first all-electric model that is due to go on sale next year and that analysts will glimpse for the first time at an event in October. Analysts at Citi described Ferrari's second-quarter results as decent. They added that the focus was shifting to how the profit margin would perform in the coming months, with shipments and selling prices expected to slow. "It remains to be seen if Ferrari can keep average selling prices growing under a slowing market and tougher second half," they said in a note. Ferrari's forecasts for the full year 2025 include one for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation growing to at least 2.68 billion euros ($3.07 billion). Its order book extends into start of 2027, Vigna said. In the second quarter, net revenues rose 4% to 1.787 billion euros, slightly below an analyst consensus of 1.82 billion euros in a Reuters poll. EBITDA rose 6% to 709 million euros, matching an analyst consensus of 707 million euros. Robust pricing power and richer product offerings supported the result, following deliveries of models of Ferrari's SF90 XX and the 12Cilindri families, as well as increased personalisation of cars.

Major motorway closed near London after crash involving two lorries
A stretch of the M4 has closed after a crash involving two lorries near Slough. Traffic came to a standstill on the M4 westbound after two HGVs crashed on the busy motorway in Berkshire. The carriageway is closed westbound between junctions J7 (Slough) and J8 (Maidenhead) after the smash at about 11am. Emergency services are on the scene, National Highways said. Access from the slip road from Slough at J7 onto the M4 is also blocked. Traffic faces long delays in the area, with westbound queues building up towards the M25 and Heathrow. Drivers took to social media to warn others to 'reroute if you can.' One motorist said: 'Massive crash two lorries westbound on M4 passed junction 7. Road closed and will be for a while I would think. Fire engines there but not ambulances yet. Just saw as I'm heading towards Heathrow on the coach in the opposite direction. May want to re-route if you can.' Got a story? Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ Or you can submit your videos and pictures here.
