FERRARI LAUNCHES NEW ‘AMALFI’ COUPE BEFORE GOING FULL ELECTRIC

Ferrari just dropped the Amalfi, a sharp new V8 coupe built to replace the Roma and keep the engine noise alive a little longer. It’s got a 3.85L eight-cylinder engine and slides into Ferrari’s entry segment, though nothing about it screams budget. This isn’t just a last hurrah for gas lovers either. It follows the hybrid 296 Speciale, so Ferrari’s clearly hedging its bets. Their first fully electric model is still coming, but for now, the Amalfi is here to make sure your neighbors still hear you arrive. Source: Reuters thru Mario Nawfal on X

Canada has scrapped a digital services tax that targeted US tech companies after Donald Trump described the levy as a 'direct and blatant' attack.

▶️ Canada has walked back on its digital services tax “in anticipation” of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States, Ottawa announced Sunday night, just one day before the first tax payments were due. ▶️This decision from Ottawa was an about-turn from Canadian officials earlier this month, who said they would not pause the digital services tax, despite strong opposition from the U.S. ▶️Canada’s Minister of Finance and National Revenue Francois-Philippe Champagne added, “Rescinding the digital services tax will allow the negotiations of a new economic and security relationship with the United States to make vital progress and reinforce our work to create jobs and build prosperity for all Canadians.” Source: FT, CNBC
