The effort showcases tuning potential and marketing appeal, but fans still want a traditional V8 option in the lineup.

Ferrari HC25: A One-Off V8 Spider Signals the End of an Era

Ferrari’s Special Projects division unveiled the HC25, a one-off V8 Spider based on the F8 Spider, created for a single client and shown at Ferrari Racing Days in Austin. It sports a sharper, geometric design, a gloss-black band, vertical LED DRLs, a Moonlight Gray interior with yellow accents, and bespoke five-spoke wheels, while mechanically retaining the F8 Spider’s mid-mounted twin-turbo V8. More importantly, it marks the end of Ferrari’s pure internal-combustion V8 spiders, signaling a styling direction for future high-performance models and highlighting the brand’s bespoke one-off program.

Chrome Gets Urgent Patch for Two In-The-Wild Zero-Days

Google released emergency Chrome updates to fix two high-severity zero-days actively exploited in the wild: CVE-2026-3909 (an out-of-bounds write in Skia) and CVE-2026-3910 (an issue in the V8 engine). Patches rolled out to Windows (146.0.7680.75), macOS (146.0.7680.76), and Linux (146.0.7680.75) in the Stable channel, with automatic updates available. Google says exploits exist in the wild but will keep bug details restricted until most users are updated. These are the second and third Chrome zero-days exploited in 2026; Google previously fixed CVE-2026-2441 in February, and it paid over $17 million to 747 researchers through its VRP in 2025.

From salvage to value: Australia’s cheapest V8 Mustang flips in a week

YouTuber Matty Willo buys the cheapest V8 2016 Ford Mustang GT (with only ~34k miles) at a Pickles salvage auction in Australia for AUD 20,000 after fees. Despite front-end damage, the frame was straight, and he replaced OEM parts (radiator support, bumper, grille, etc.) for about AUD 2,500, bringing total investment to ~AUD 26,000. With the 5.0L Coyote V8 and manual transmission, the car is a strong bargain since similar V8 Mustangs in Australia command higher prices, effectively turning a salvage purchase into a valuable flip in just a week.
