    Nice! Much thanks. I’ve been interviewing drivers in the Challenge series and asking their thoughts on the SUV, so far all of them either shrugged their shoulders or said they have 1 (some 2) on order.

    Such poseurs.

    Is it for them or for their wives? ;) Gotta level up in the private school car line. :)

    Interestingly there are Urus (Uri? What’s the plural?) around here like Toyotas. I see them everyday and they are always driven by women. Frankly that surprised me.

    It was great to meet you in person, you looked great out there! The track was quite slippery on my first run, especially turn 4. The second session was much better …. Hot damn the 488 Modifcata is insane!

    nice to see the SP3 in the flesh.

    Yeah, it’s only for women. The 296 and SF90 are so hard to drive, only the most hard core men can handle them. Hence, you need this SUV to hit every demographic.

    Not personally, often times I find out about new projects on FC and then go ask about XYZ to find out more.

    Being in after-sales, I find out a lot when technical training comes up or when the new tool kit / package arrives… and I’m signing the invoices LoL

    Eagerly waiting / looking for what’s next though!

    Lol, now you’re clearly putting words in my mouth. You know I was joking :)

    Lots of women here driving all types of exotics. Lol, my daughter knows more than most boys about these cars.

    Now the real question, how long till Ferrari “encourages” you to buy a Purosangue to get an allocation on the “next big thing”? ;)

    Already happened, TOP and VIP clients were “offered” allocations for the V12 and anyone that turned the offer down will now have a big black mark next to their name.

    Yes, I know the game well. :)

    It’s actually smart on Ferrari’s part IMO. Nothing makes people want something more than telling them they can’t have it.

    BTW, if you are in town for Cavallino this year let me know. I have a Thursday night party I’d like to invite you to.

    To buy what behind, the LF replacement ???
    Because there is not much left, unless you are excited at the idea of receiving an SF 90 VS...

    Good point and the SF90 VS will likely go first to SF90 buyers.

    When I first saw it in photos and videos, I was like this is way too avant garde. Now that I’ve had time to absorb it, as with the SF90 and 296. It’s pure genius.
    Reminds me a lot of how I felt when I first saw the La Ferrari, at first I was like this is a bit wild, now I’m like yeah no brainer.

    Ferrari know what their doing.

    cheers

    Actually, based on this thread and all the comments, I don't know.

    That said, all fun and games. I've had over 4 years to digest this, so I need to remind myself that I've had much more time than most to ponder the premise.

    **
    I admit I did not think about if having an SUV makes one less a 'man' or maybe more of a 'woman?' (whatever that implies.)

    I'll ask Marissela, the SCCA champ and race engineer from Monza. @Gh21631 does she also tune your car?

    Cheers
