Ferrari has shaken off its Luce-induced slide, but analysts believe the luxury automaker still has plenty more room to recover. Investors and consumers alike were disappointed when Ferrari unveiled its first EV in late May, saying the Luce model strayed far from the brand’s design philosophy. Shares fell quickly following the reveal, but have since recovered and are now 14% higher than they were before the EV debuted. In a note early last week, Bank of America reiterated a buy rating and increased the price target to $458 from $403, suggesting almost 22% upside from Friday’s close. A day later,…

The process is tedious, to say the least. It can even brick the ECU.

Sheer complexity Mapping out a safe tune that preserves factory protections, such as fault codes, has always been hard work, but it has only become more challenging as technology has progressed. This reflects the increasing complexity of modern fuel-injection systems. For the B5 Audi S4, there were only…

Wall Street’s record-setting start to the week ran into two familiar sources of volatility: the artificial intelligence trade and oil. The Dow Jones Industrial Average on Monday closed above 53,000 for the first time ever before renewed U.S.-Iran tensions erased those gains, leaving the blue-chip index down 0.5% for the week.

Even so, the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 1.74% for the week, while the S & P 500 rose 1.23%. Both indexes have finished higher…
