The Google one seems dead on, except it should be gendered, native English refers to boats and cars as female gender:

“Ah well, now she'll work a lot less well, of course!”

Since you mentioned Google and Deepl, here's O1:

“Ah well, obviously she’s gonna run a lot less well now!”

“Ah well, looks like she’ll be running a lot less well, naturally!”

My own thoughts on google were replace work with run, replace it with she, and I wasn't sure about of course, versus, say, naturally. My own would have been:

“Ah well, now she'll work a lot less well, naturally!”

The context is that the 2CV driver is fussing to the Rolls driver who bumped him to make it fall apart. It keeps the Galois humor of a 2CV running well ever, and the naturally rhymes with that.
