    I absolutely agree they should/must be in F1
    They participate and are on the podium some days
    The issue is an expectation of being champions
    Think about their engineering for a moment from the road cars
    They can't provide a dash that works right for everyone all the time
    The PTO for the AWD is a flawed system and they keep using it
    They use trannies that have xyz issues
    The electrical systems generally require life support (tender) and are still prone to problems
    They had a widespread brake failure design issue for many years
    They had V8s fail due to little plastic tabs from the solenoids coming off and getting into bad spots
    That is just a warm up list

    I watch many car programs and watched various videos of the Purosangue over the last months. There is no dedicated thread only for videos of the PS in one place, should we create one? If you agree, I can post (you too) many videos in one thread. Then, the moderators will move the thread to the PS forum when such forum is ready.

    And your point being? I hope you sold all your Ferraris based on the issues you listed.

    How do you expect them to build the world's best F1 car when they can't build a road car with better than sub-par reliability?
    Love Ferraris but can't bring myself to buy one do to the crappy quality.
    I really feel like I am missing out but can't see myself dealing with my wife laughing at me after spending toward $500K to buy a 296 and put it on the road and then have a large shiny brick in my garage when it effs up.

    So you throw all this shade on Ferrari and their products, but you don’t even own one? Have you ever owned one?

    I am sorry but this is absolute nonsense. I haven’t had a problem with a new Ferrari since a sensor failed on my -then new- 550 in 1998 and I kept getting the “check engine” warning. Also the fuel release flap failed two times.
    Since then there have been recalls, regular maintenance and a few quality issues (fitting of seals, paint finish etc), but I never had a serious problem that required taking the car in to the dealership for anything other than regular servicing.
    On the contrary I’ve had major issues with top cars from other manufacturers.


    I personally think Ferraris are very reliable these days

    Your screen name states Ferrari in it, you’re in the Ferrari forum and yet you don’t own one or ever owned one and you have all these opinions about Ferrari quality? Wow!

    I saw on in California. Looks good to me. Kinda like a smaller FF or a meaner California.

    You don't really know what you are talking about. BTW, Ferrari have the most powerful engine in F1, it's their chassis that lets them down. Ferrari also has 16 Constructors Championships... Honda has zero!

    I’m not sure how you guys can order a Purosangue with a straight face. This is clearly just a money grab by Ferrari much like the Urus was for Lamborghini. When my F dealer called to preorder, it was a short phone call to say the least.

    The pack of originality these days is saddening.

    Dare I say Mazda did it better…

    At this point I might just quit Ferrari Chat. Would you like to make my choice for lunch tomorrow too? Does my choice of chicken offend you?

    Not sure a lot of these guys own or owned ZERO Ferraris yet their input and opinion is that of a legendary Ferrari owner!

    Very nice color! The pictures’ angles show how gorgeous, muscular and unique the PS design is (no other car looks like it).
