Naveed Hussain
Naveed Hussain covers how technology is reshaping high-performance cars for CAR, with a particular focus on the engineering turning points inside supercar brands. His work sits where combustion heritage meets new driveline tech, using specific model stories to show how powertrain decisions change the character and future of iconic badges.
This could be the last non-hybrid V8 Ferrari ever
Hussain’s coverage of Ferrari’s final non-hybrid V8 uses a single car as a lens on a much larger shift in performance engineering.
He treats the end of a pure-combustion V8 not just as a model launch, but as a line in the sand between traditional engine design and the hybrid era that follows. The story tracks what is mechanically distinctive about the outgoing V8, why it matters to Ferrari’s identity, and how regulatory and technical pressure force the move toward electrified systems.
Within that frame, he focuses on concrete technical detail: engine layout, output, and how calibration, induction and emissions hardware define the feel of the car. He links those details to broader questions about response, sound and drivability once electric assistance enters the powertrain. The result is coverage that explains both what the car is and why this specific piece of technology history matters to enthusiasts and engineers.
Technology transitions in performance cars
Across his work on automotive technology, Hussain returns to the moment where established performance hardware gives way to new solutions.
He is drawn to stories where a powertrain, platform or control system represents a last-of-its-kind configuration before electrification, hybridisation or software-led systems take over. That gives his pieces a clear through-line: documenting the final iterations of familiar engineering while setting them against the incoming wave of new tech.
He writes in a way that foregrounds mechanical and electronic detail, but always connects those details to driving experience and brand story. Rather than treating technology as an abstract specification sheet, he uses it to explain how a car behaves, what it communicates to the driver, and how a manufacturer balances regulation, performance and heritage.
His coverage is therefore particularly relevant when a story hinges on powertrains, performance hardware or the trade-offs involved in moving a sports or supercar platform into a more electrified future.
