Electrification is coming for everyone—that includes Porsche, Lamborghini, and even Ferrari, the automaker responsible for some of the most sonorous, soulful internal-combustion engines (ICE) in the world.

Unlike, Bentley, its British rival, Ferrari hasn't put a hard stop date for their ICE engines, although the company is already dabbling in electrification with its hypercar, the SF90, the German news agency reported.

According to a new report from EVO Magazine, it seems that Ferrari's first EV will arrive by 2025.

Ferrari's first EV will likely be a hypercar to compete with the likes of the Lotus Evija and the Rimac Concept 2.

Long, low, wide, and fast as you-know-what—that's the Ferrari way. This means that Ferrari's EV won't miss any of the major features we usually see in its other vehicles, except for the traditional powerful engines, which will be replaced with electric ones.

As Ferrari delves deeper into the world of EVs, more all-electric models may emerge. Perhaps an electric FF/GTC4 Lusso successor is in the cards.

X Names Brazil Legal Representative as It Fights Ban in the Country

Elon Musk-owned social media platform X has named a legal representative in Brazil, the firm's lawyers said on Friday, in a move that would address one of the demands imposed by Brazil's top court to allow the company to operate in the country.

Andre Zonaro and Sergio Rosenthal, who were recently appointed as X's lawyers in Brazil, told Reuters that colleague Rachel de Oliveira Conceicao was chosen as the firm's legal representative, and that they had submitted her name to the Supreme Court.

Brazilian law requires foreign companies to name a legal representative to operate in the country. The representative would assume the legal responsibilities for the firm locally.

X had a legal representative in Brazil until mid-August, when it decided to close its offices in the country.

In late August, Brazil's top court ordered mobile and internet service providers to block X in the nation, and users were cut off within hours after X did not name a new legal representative.

The move followed a months-long dispute between Musk and Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes over the firm's non-compliance with court orders demanding the platform take action against the spread of hate speech.

Courts have previously blocked accounts implicated in probes of spreading misinformation and hate, which Musk has denounced as censorship.

On Thursday, the lawyers representing X in Brazil said the firm was starting to comply with orders on removing content, another demand from the top court.
