On the bright side, maybe the "Ferrari Forever" initiative will bring reintroduction of unobtainium spares for older models. Mercedes Classic is apparently excellent, and Porsche Classic is making an impressive go of it. Ferrari has been pretty hit or miss, in my experience even with my 328.
Let's see if we can guess: Amalfi Spider Replacement for 296 GTB and GTS Testarossa M coupe and spider Replacement for the Amalfi coupe 12C M Purosangue M EV SUV (eeewww) A pair of the limited edition cars A EV coupe and convertible, on the same EV platform as the SUV Almalfi spider replacement A supercar in 2030 That's 15 right there.
At least the V12 lives on for 5 more years. Even if just in the 12 Cilindri, 12 Cilindri VS and SP4 or 5.
@day355 has stated in the 296VS thread the following: Any ideas what this is referring to? I thought maybe the mythical “STO competitor” they were testing and decided to scrap?
I honestly have no idea. Beautiful surprise had me thinking of SP4. Then "normal range", which I don't suppose an STO competitor would fit into, wouldn't that be more of a VS-model? Then there's the 296M which of course could be beautiful in design, but that's a V6 hybrid (Unless they surprise us), and I don't know if he'd dare to call a V6 hybrid a 'beautiful surprise', unless that rests solely on the design. Very interesting
I think it’s a completely new model, as it is too early for the 296M and early for the 12C VS. perhaps it is finally the F8 successor, which apparently is not the 296 according to Ferrari.
I'm betting on a Ferrari that will compete with the Porsche GT3 RS models no hybrid, less power, but significantly lighter.
By the looks of that God forsaken New Testarossa, Ferrari is no longer the company it has been. The glory days are over.

Woke refers to a cultural movement/mindset. What you’re describing is a futuristic simplistic design theme. Frankly I find the Polestars and Ferraris great looking but design and aesthetics are subjective of course. And you can add the new Audi C Concept to that design ethos which I think is possible the best of the bunch, especially the interior ideas.
I am guessing the same would have been said about the 308 replacing the Dino and the 360 replacing the 355. Companies evolve which is why the continue to exist. No company barring perhaps Morgan and even that has changed can remain rooted at one moment in time and survive.
a lot of people on here won't be happy as they just want Ferrari to be nothing but performance orientated but I am confident that they are going to make a drivers car, lightweight etc, possibly even manual gearbox
We need a new Ferrari that has a loud exhaust sound and weighs less than 1300 kg and has a N/A V8 engine. Performance has become irrelevant. Cars need to become much more emotional again and have more Ferrari DNA from older days.
I hear you, I might have been to harsh. I love the 488, , F8, and the 458 . I dont like the 360 , but I fancy the F 430 . I have to say though, the new Testa is pretty awful looking.
