    Who gives a rat's arse about what they will name F175?
    Let's talk about more interesting stuff like F250 :D

    Why are you so upset?I apologize if i wrote something wrong about you: but you can correct me, of course, and write here the official relationship you have today with Ferrari. I only wrote what I have been told some years ago by a Ferrari man who knew you very well.

    I repeat it: I wrote about you only what I have been told.

    Ciao

    The new F250 is awesome! We got the Ultimate and the power stroke combined with the 10 spd automatic is unbelievable. The seats are fantastic and the ride is surprisingly good considering it can tow a barn! For traveling, it rivals the Merc S class.

    Oh wait…. ;)

    Pfft. Too small for Texas roads if it doesn't have dual rear wheels!! [emoji2]

    I think we're getting punchy with the reveal looming. I've cleared my schedule for Monday so I can follow the drama online, and I have no chance in heck of owning one of these. THAT is the magic of Ferrari!

    Enzo would love this; imagine all the money this will bring for racing programs. Driver salaries and Le Mans, after all, don't have spending caps.

    Of course, many folks will still say, why care? I guess Ferrari could ignore racing, maybe pivot more on shirts and handbags..just as Porsche enters Formula 1.

    Gentlemen, instead of arguing who has a bigger.... Ferrari connection and info, let's just unite and hate the new Purosangue together as a community :)

    I've asked folks why the hate?

    4 reasons
    1) Ugly - legitimate
    2) 4 doors - (See Pinin/456 one-offs) - under the old man and Luca? The AMG GT is terrible?
    3) AWD - see FF - Is the SF90 bad?
    4) Raised - what does it matter if it can go faster than most 'lower' sports cars?

    Always respect subjective views that this is 'ugly' I mean, hell; lots of folks say the Enzo and F50 are fugly. To each their own, I respect that.

    The other sins to me are folks seeking to establish bonifides. Unless your name is Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, or Piero Ferrari - that's a slope I don't intend to slide on, which ironically is another form of arguing who's car has the bigger...

    Its not about who is right or wrong or if its something in the middle. PPG70 statement "Not well informed" is disrespectful specially when you take into account it was said to MM and the way it was said. He didn't have to agree but more respect should have been shown.

Your statement "Not well informed" is disrespectful specially when you take into account it was said to MM and the way it was said. Right, wrong or otherwise we should be treating each other with better respect than this.

    Getting back on topic with respect to all:

    Did y’all see the AMG GT at Floriano Test track posted somewhere?

    Comparison?


    In Maranello tonight for factory visit. I personally am excited for the release either way with any name.[emoji110]

    Seems we are all punch drunk at this point. You say tomayto and I say tomahto… but let’s not call this whole thing off. Looking forward to the reveal of whatever this center of our attention will be called.

    That’s exactly how I justify it. Although lately I’m not so sure all the car sales or crap merch in the world can help Ferraris race program at the moment.

    I’d love to see them back on top at LeMans but I doubt that’s likely given they can’t even get a pit stop right in F1. They need to refocus their priorities IMO.

    Sadly only takes one and when that person is meant to be the Leader of the team we have a massive problem. He clearly has no idea or has his blinders on not to see the issues. The rest of the team are feeding off his vibe and are miserable and as a result are now under so much pressure mistake will just keep coming till he is gone. I call Ferrari's 2023 LMh a return to LeMans.

    You are missing the point. There is nothing disrespectful to tell somebody is not well informed whoever it is.
    Please do us a favour, write useful news to the community instead of reporting personal judgments and sentences or even worse try to teach people how to behave.
    Regards from Lajatico.

    So, let’s get this straight. I can not do my part to help uphold a respectful community environment because you say so! Yet you can tell me what to do and speak to other however you like!.... Don’t bother replying to this, as I am not going to waste any more of my time on it. Regards and safe travels.

    I apologize to all the other members for distracting from the topic at hand.

    Right back on topic:

    -What colours do you think she be presented in???
    and will we see some sort of assetto fiorino option???

    saying someone is mis-informed isn't disrespectful imo, if someone has a bad/incorrect source of information then it's not reflective of the person who receives it

    I apologize if I have to correct you, but "Fiorino" was an old Italian money they had once in Florence (Tuscany, Italy) and now it's a very small Fiat light truck name. Maybe you wanted to write "Fiorano", the village where Ferrari test track is located.

    Here below a Fiat Fiorino m.y. 2022: I think the "Assetto Fiorino" (in Italian it means "Fiorino's settings") is not suited for a Ferrari, whatever it is, so I can officially state that there won't be any "assetto Fiorino" Ferrari Purosangue. Will there be an Assetto Fiorano Ferrari Purosangue instead? Maybe...

    Ciao

    As GTHill said, it is a Ford 3/4 ton pickup. Just trying to lighten the discussion since folks appeared to be very tied up in the name of the car, declaring death to Ferrari, etc!

    Not too much longer for speculations!
