Own one of F1 hero Michael Schumacher’s two Ferrari Enzos – that’s right, TWO

Did you know that legendary Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher owns two Ferrari Enzos? Well, he did. They’re actually now both up for sale at the Ferrari and Maserati dealership Garage Zénith in Sweden.

We figured the king of F1 must have owned two Enzos because he’d still want one to play around with while the other one was in the shop. This might be true but the Schumacher’s Enzos weren’t identical.

Schumacher’s red Enzo features the signature of Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo under the hood, which is no facture feature. This suggests this example was built exclusively for the legend himself. During his time with it, Schumacher managed to put 8,500 kilometers (5,280 miles) on the clock. Not bad for a man who probably doesn’t have a lot of time for leisurely cruising.

Most intriguingly of all, however, is Schumacher’s other Enzo, the FXX. This all-black, one-of-30 specialized supercar was build for track driving only. Accordingly, Schumacher only managed to put 900 kilometers (559 miles) on it, according to Motor Authority.

How much are the Swedes peddling these Italian beauties for? $1.47-million for the standard Enzo and $2.67-million for the FXX.

Why is Schumacher unloading his Ferraris? Maybe to make room for some new Mercedes-Benzes. Hopefully he’s not hard up for cash. He’s made more money in his racing career than the total GDP of some third-world countries in the same amount of time.

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

Honda believes hydrogen semi trucks will make the case for fuel cells
Honda hydrogen fuel-cell semi truck.

Honda remains committed to hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, but the market for those vehicles remains limited. So Honda is looking at other uses for fuel cells -- including commercial trucks.

To show how that could work, Honda converted a semi truck to fuel-cell power, replacing its diesel engine with three fuel-cell modules. Together, the three modules produce a combined 321 horsepower, and can propel the truck to a top speed of 70 mph. There's enough onboard hydrogen storage capacity for a 400-mile range with a full load, Honda claims.

Mercedes-Benz G580 vs Rivian R2: Is the much cheaper Rivian actually better?
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off of the new "Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but it's basically a new electric G-Wagon. It looks a lot like the G-Wagon you know and love, but with an electric powertrain and a battery. It's not the only electric SUV out there, however, and there are some great ones -- like the Rivian R2.

Both the Mercedes G580 and the Rivian R2 have a lot going for them, but they also approach the electric SUV slightly differently. Is one better than the other? I put the two head-to-head to find out.

The approach that the two vehicles take to design is quite different -- and you might like one better than the other.
