Now, you have... an interior that wants to be finished like a German one (still not the case, but in progress), a whole lot of various electronics and fancy equipments, a clever gearbox (but they forgot that a REAL Ferrari has a REAL alu-grille with a gorgeous level and not a ridiculous small piece of nothing to engage reverse), more electronic aids than in an E-Class...
Oh yes, it also has a motor and a chassis. And a .... shape on it. Not nearly as beautiful and evident as before, but a complex technic-induced aerodynamic shape. In fact, the Form-follow-function (which is... Porsche, not Ferrari, normally).
So Ferrari has been Germanized. For me, at last. It's becoming digital and electronic. |
That is called progress! do u want them to be incident compared to other cars? plus those F1 fast gearboxes,suspension tech and engines are coming straight from their F1 expertise.No one out there transfers F1 to road cars like Ferrari and i think we as car fanatics should give'em huge credit for that.i'm also surprised to see u complaining about Ferrari's F1 transmission aren't u the one who is complaining about MB's old auto in their AMGs?
As for form-follows function,what makes u say it's Porsche exclusive and any other brand applies then it becomes germanized? Ferrari since ever used to design their cars with aerodynamics priority number one in mind
