They basically patented a system that makes something appear to be something it isn't. Driving an electric car with artificial sound is like eating a soy steak with an artificial beef flavor and thinking you're eating a beef steak from an Angus Black.
Might as well use an F1 sound track! just have Ferrari include the CD or MP3 and a good sound system and enjoy real music! https://www.discogs.com/release/10854064-Unknown-Artist-Formula-1-Sounds-17500-RPM
Unfortunately good sound systems and Ferraris are as rare as hen’s teeth Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
The thought of having “engine” sounds pumped through speakers or resonance makes me want to park my cars inside my house so I can hug them daily. Is this weird?
Day…I like you man, I really do, but dear God in heaven if you ever post such a godawfully depressing link ever again, then you WILL need to be nuked. From orbit. It will be the only way to make sure you never do it again. (If we are talking classic music n cars, we can do movie references as well right?)
'Acknowledge' may be a supposition. It has been my experience that dealers are far behind the pre-release knowledge of FChat.
Just because they did not “acknowledge “ it, does not necessarily mean they are unaware of its coming existence. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Oh and don’t forget the corollary: not all dealers follow Maranello with respect to taking deposits- whether said deposits are real or imagined……. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
WHICH design is modern and simple? The new F167 is supposed to reunite the two camps of the F12 Berlinetta and the 812 Superfast. In my opinion this RUF design concept (from a design blog) could serve as an example for a modern and simple design. Yes, first you have to take a deep breath, but then... If the F167 will do it even better than this RUF design concept (perhaps a little bit more classic), i think we could almost all be happy with the result. @day355: Is this concept (as an example) the way YOU would describe a design as simple and modern?
I would love a modern take on the Berlinetta Boxer with some minor changes to accommodate the front mid engine design. And while we are at it, make mine a bicolor- red top half and black bottom. One can only dream… Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
I actually think very much like you! For me the most iconic Ferraris were from the late 60's/early 70's. Especially when they have those big orange turn signals. With the Roma, Ferrari has presented a GT that is intended to embody the (italian) lifestyle of the late 50s/early 60s. Now the design of the late 60s/early 70s must follow! In addition to the BB, I particularly prefer the 365 GTB/4 and the picture comparison shows that the current design language of the front is not that far from these great cars... so let´s hope!
How to tell you... "Modern" because the approach is modern in the treatment of the surface, the lights, the roof, the details...and "simple" because the lines are fluid and the eyes are well placed on the form and the muscles. It's not a Roma V12 because the objective was to clearly differentiate itself, but we find this approach to simplicity.
deliveries start second half of the year, for a hybrid, when nary an F167 hybrid has been seen in testing, not to mention that the previous hybrid models take twice as long for first delivery than non-hybrid...in any case, deliveries starting this year (as quoted by CAR magazine), then Ferrari better hurry up and show it in the next few weeks (which is not going to happen) I predict first delivery, somewhere in the EU will occur in summer 2024, I cannot imagine it will be hybrid.
Thank you for your commitment! And for months you have been trying to do the (almost) IMPOSSIBLE: To describe a car design just in words! But maybe you can tell us if we should expect a car front which is inspirated more of the late 50's/early 60's or late 60's/early 70's? I think that this could make a big difference in the cars character.
