Episode 123 of the Carquicks Automotive Podcast is a bit backwards because the audio was messed up and then fixed after releasing the 124th episode.

So, we are back! In Episode 123, I am discussing my time at the MAMA Spring Rally 2026, the cars I reviewed and drove, and my overall experience as a first-time attendee.

I discuss RAM releasing their new Muscle Trucks with the Rumble Bee announcement. Mercedes-AMG reveals their newest EV sports car, GR Corolla updates, and more!

Ferrari Luce.

On Episode 124 (don't worry, we are uploading Episode 123; we had to jump out of order for good reason lol) of the CarQuicks Automotive Podcast, we take a deep dive into the all-new Ferrari Luce, Ferrari's first fully electric vehicle.

We cover the Ferrari Luce's specifications, performance figures, pricing, technology, design, and what this car means for Ferrari's future. More importantly, we discuss whether the Ferrari Luce still delivers the emotion, performance, and character enthusiasts expect from the Prancing Horse.

Is the Ferrari Luce the future of Ferrari? Can an electric Ferrari still feel like a Ferrari? How has the automotive industry reacted to Ferrari's first EV?

There is a lot to unpack with the Ferrari Luce, from its performance capabilities and engineering to the broader impact it may have on the supercar market and the future of electric performance vehicles.

Sit back and enjoy! This is the CarQuicks Automotive Podcast.
