This Might the Only Way You'll Ever Own a Pagani Utopia
Utopia
.
The kit is the result of a collaboration between
Pagani
and Pocher, an Italian model maker that's part of Hornby Hobbies. The car measures 22.76 inches long, 11.5 inches wide, and 5.83 inches high when built, which will take well over a day to complete, according to the company. All together, it weighs 17.6 pounds.

The
1:8-scale Utopia
features over 556 individual parts and more than 200 screws, which Pocher says are made from 'premium materials.' It has metal body parts, and rubber tires, as well as functioning doors, steering, and suspension. You can't peek at the Utopia's V-12 engine, however, and you'll have to
make your own engine noises
.
The model, which is available in the car's launch color—Rinascimento Lucido, isn't cheap. But it's a steal compared to a real Pagani, costing £879.99 ($1,190.95 at today's exchange rate). The
138-page manual
is available online as a
three-part PDF
, or you can
buy a physical version for £14.99
($20.29). Porcher is running a deal right now where you can
buy the kit and a display case for £999.99
($1,353.04).

Ferrari CEO: Pricing, guidance unchanged despite tariff deal; will 'separate' tariff costs on invoice
Ferrari (RACE) reported another strong quarter and said the EU-US preliminary tariff deal of 15% on imported goods means it has removed tariff costs from its margin forecast. But investors were looking for more — likely hiked guidance. Ferrari reported second quarter net revenue rose 4.4% to 1.79 billion euros ($2.03 billion), citing higher pricing power and a slight rise in deliveries. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) hit 552 million euros ($629.98 million), up 8.1% compared to a year ago, with EBIT margin hitting a healthy 30.9%, up 100 basis points from a year ago. Most interestingly, Ferrari said it was removing the overhang of tariff costs from its industry-leading margins. Ferrari said the 50-basis-point "risk" to margins that it instituted in March as part of its forward guidance following President Trump's tariffs is no longer in place. The preliminary 15% tariff rate has now removed that overhang Ferrari said, in addition to the expectation of lower industrial costs. Read more: Live coverage of corporate earnings Despite the lower tariff percentage, Ferrari did not improve its current full-year guidance, which has investors scratching their heads, with shares dropping nearly 10%. On the analyst call, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna said he would not adjust guidance or customer pricing given the new tariff deal because of remaining uncertainty. "So we will not change the commercial policy [pricing] until these new 15% [tariffs] will really be implemented, because as of now it is not implemented," Vigna said in the call when asked why Ferrari was not upping guidance in light of the tariff situation. Ferrari had hiked prices as much as 10% in some cases due to the tariffs earlier in the year. Vigna added, in a move that may upset Trump and the administration: "We will separate the tariff [cost] in a specific box [in the invoice]," saying it was a matter of fairness to show its clients what they were paying for exactly. The White House was reportedly furious at Amazon after the e-commerce giant was considering adding a tariff cost calculator for items on its website. Amazon reportedly pulled that policy to appease the administration. Be that as it may, Ferrari's strong quarter but middling guidance and other industry headwinds mean the stock may have a hard time reaching new highs. "With one half of the year already in the books and its top line growth having slowed dramatically due to sales volume, we now think RACE has its work cut out to hit the current EPS consensus of EUR9.05 ($10.30) for 2025 despite its history of exceeding expectations as evidenced by the fact its last quarterly EPS miss was five years ago," CFRA's Garrett Nelson wrote shortly after results were published. Nelson has a 'hold' rating on Ferrari with a $475 price target. Pras Subramanian is the lead auto reporter for Yahoo Finance. You can follow him on X and on Instagram.

BMW Just Set the Coolest Nürburgring Record
BMW revealed on Thursday it took a particularly interesting Nürburgring record back in April. The M3 CS Touring , the company's most extreme station wagon, now holds the record for quickest wagon around the Nordschleife, with a time of 7 minutes, 29.49 seconds. Interestingly, the record-breaking lap wasn't completed by a pro race car driver, but rather one of BMW's development engineers, Jörg Weidinger. The CS Touring beats the previous record, held by the normal M3 Touring , by over five seconds. You can watch the full lap, published by the Nürburgring's YouTube channel, below. A lap time in the mid-seven-minute range may not sound impressive in a world where supercars can break the seven-minute barrier. But for a station wagon with five seats and a giant cargo area, it's worth celebrating. For some context, the CS Touring is quicker than the Camaro ZL1, the C8 Corvette, and the last-generation BMW M5. The time is less than a second off the Nissan GT-R. For a wagon, that's not bad. Of course, the M3 CS Touring is about as extreme as wagons get. Under the hood sits a turbocharged straight-six making 543 horsepower, sending power to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic. In addition to the extra power, the CS also makes extensive use of carbon fiber to save weight, including a set of standard carbon buckets. "From the very beginning, it was clear that the BMW M3 CS Touring would set new standards in dynamics," M CEO Frank van Meel said in a statement. "With a time under 7:30 minutes, this model impressively demonstrates that this vehicle concept perfectly combines racing DNA with everyday usability." Sadly, prospective buyers in the US won't be able to experience the M3 Touring firsthand, CS-trimmed or otherwise. BMW has repeatedly said it has no plans to bring the car Stateside, which is a damn shame. Should there be a next-gen M3 Touring, the success of the M5 Touring in America will determine if it comes here . So not all hope is lost. More BMW at the 'Ring How Fast is the New BMW M2 CS?

Fiat Heir Elkann Ditches Trucks for Bytes, Brands and Biotech
The Agnelli family's love affair with trucks began with the Fiat 24 HP that rolled off its Turin factory floor in 1903. More than a century on, its Exor NV empire is charting a different path that's taking it far from those production lines on the banks of Italy's river Po. It's one that weaves through Silicon Valley server farms, Paris couture salons and cutting-edge biotech labs.
