    The electric vehicle arena is littered with far more losers than winners. For every Tesla there is a Fisker, Faraday Future, Canoo, and Lordstown Motors. Many of the EV failures could be predicted early on while others put up a good fight.However, there always seems to be a moment of no return for each of these companies.

    Amalfi Spider: Epic Greek blast in Ferrari's £227k 'entry' drop-top
    Replacement for the Roma Spider promises not only more speed, but extra refinement and, ahem, stabilityWe dubbed it Honey Mountain. Ferrari’s events team, whose carefully prescribed route we plain ignored, would probably have dubbed it the arse end of nowhere.

They are certainly enjoying a period of rapid expansion.
