The F1 gearbox is, for me, far less appealing than the classic Ferrari-grille (that you now see more often in Lamborghinis...). Where is the 'Ting' when you engage the gear, the superb grille and gearlevel?
Today's Ferraris are less focused on the driving experience than before. They want to be driven everyday, to have a luggage space, to have a 11-motors power-seat, an automatized gearbox, a seatbelt warning and a big glovebox...
And before, a Ferrari was not really about Form-following-function. It was more Form-following-passion.
However, that's only my opinion. And I never drove a Ferrari, old or new. Only saw and hear them, and I prefer the older models (F355...what a noise!!  ) |
Well lets keep Lambo out of this coz it's been germanized to the bone
I'm actually so glad that Ferraris now are more usable than before,it means if u are rich enough to get one,u r able to enjoy it everyday not just the weekends.plus they are the only brand out there that keeping their tradition without having to produce SUVs or wagons to keep their company independent..that alone earns them immense respect
