Matt LeBlanc has decided that the next season of Top Gear will be his last. Since 2016, the former Friends actor has served as one of the main show hosts, alongside Chris Harris and Rory Reid.

There are few cars that create the ultimate expression of what it means to be an all-out performance car. Ferrari's LaFerrari-based FXX K is absolutely one of them, and "Top Gear" host Chris Harris recently received some drive time with one. Revealed in 2014, the FXX K is the latest in Ferrari's line of XX experimental cars. It's not street legal, which means the FXX K is a track affair only. Harris—a lucky, lucky man—was able to put a few laps in at Daytona Speedway to get a feel for one of Ferrari's most hardcore models ever. Power comes from the standard LaFerrari's 6.3-liter...
