What's the most important thing to you out of the next wave of Ferrari's?

I rarely post on threads on fchat but have been thinking about this for awhile now,

out of the following options what is the single most important aspect to you?

 

Even though theres no way i can afford a new one, I cant put the vote i want in... Namely get rid of the hybrid and turbo engines and go back to big N/A motors. That to me is whats ruining the Brand the most these days

 

A "classic dash" option to delete all infotainment and have quality gauges.

 

Performance

even if it’s bragging rights, let’s be honest, part of the “feel” is the theater of the thing. You want less weight, get a Dino, err I mean Ferrari 246.

 

Massive depreciation. Like, HUGE! And styling that still looks good about 12 years out, when I might actually stretch for another one

 

I think the last option in the survey should be:
Other, please explain below.

It would be interesting to see the ratio of "other" to everything else in the list.
Personally, I'll go with what @DutchFerrari said.

 

The most important thing out of the next wave of Ferraris? Me. I'm out.
No interest in the "Reimagined Ferrari World of Computerized Appliances" styled by a 13 year-old Anime fan.

 

None of those…


Most important is return to scintillating exhaust notes followed by manual transmission option.

performance is already owned by Mc and EV’s.

 

You didn't have my choice: increased driver engagement. So I voted for less depreciation.

 

i'd probably say this comes under less weight typically, but yep I should have added it more specifically

 

I love my turbo engine. And a normally aspirated engine of similar power wouldn't fit,which works against my desire for Ferraris to be smaller and lighter.

 

There wasn't any "engagement" or "handling" options. Doesn't matter hwo much power it has if the person behind the wheel can't keep it on the road.

 

I guess to each their own, yes i want smaller and lighter Ferrari's, but to me the engines are more important, and the turbo engines just sound like **** and have absolutely no volume to them. To me the sound is one of, if not the most important aspect of driving and owning a supercar for me, in traffic theres no way to really utilize and enjoy the performance, but you can enjoy the sounds they make, which the turbo engines dont make

 

Most important is a non-lame-A$$ engine that is hybrid and turbocharged and doesn't sound like a McLaren vacuum cleaner.
Power/depreciation/styling etc irrelevant compared to the core of the car. If the car is exciting, depreciation does not matter. Same with styling--doesn't have to look like the 12C Star Trek machine. Who cares how fast you can go if the drive doesn't feel and sound the part? Company was originated with the engine in mind.
Totally totally lost now by the figureheads of the company.
So sad to see for me.

 

I voted for pricing reduction, but the truth is they won't do ANY of these things....I'm not convinced any decision makers are car guys, they are "branding" experts.

This is the area where they are far behind Lamborghini, McLaren, and Porsche.

 

track specific performance would go under handling would it not? idk

 

I’d put things like improved brake cooling, stronger drivetrain/transmission, and downforce in a “track-specific performance” category. The class of performance upgrades which aren’t really relevant for street driving but become important when considering the increased stresses placed on the car during track use.

IMHO, modern Ferraris primarily suffer from durability shortcomings on the track, not insufficient speed and handling.

I voted for reduced weight. I hate how big these cars are getting (not unique to Ferrari, sadly).

 

To use where exactly? Less weight would be my preference. More sound would be good too, to add to the theatre.

 

That’s spot on. Brand experts and not car people. Exactly.

 

Yeah, let’s get to sub < 2000 straight pipe. That’s what I said. Maybe Jay can can get the petition to NCAP and EEA.

 

Yes, that’s exactly right.

 

Yet their cars consistently are rated as outstanding and waiting lists stretch into years. The latter cannot be said of Lamborghini.

 

I’d love it if they would do something to put out an updated Dino-type car. I have a Porsche 718 Spyder, and think something similar would sell. A smaller two seat, perhaps a ragtop, six speed manual, powered like a Porsche GT4-RS or Spyder RS. Made well, worth $220-250K new, I wouldn’t care about depreciation since I’d keep it and drive it.

 

Better styling, no more V6’s, manual transmission, F1 exhaust note.

 

As a younger Ferrari Enthusiast I will try and speak for the upcoming generation of Potential Ferrari Owners

I have zero desire to own a hybrid or electric Ferrari. Same goes for a Super/Turbo Charged Ferrari. Has to be Naturally Aspirated!

Pricing is way to high for Ferrari but every brand has gotten out of hand even Cadillac, Chevrolet, etc…

Those are my thoughts from a 22 year old actively looking for a first Ferrari (F12 most likely).

I cringe at TOP Clients paying $4 million for a TT Hybrid V6 Ferrari. That is going to sell under sticker my opinion after cars are delivered in the United States. Same with 296 Speciale and Speciale Aperta. The market is speaking on Hybrids and Electrics already in the supercar/hypercar relm.

But just my opinions!
