    The internal combustion car industry is poised at the brink of extinction. For Ferrari I nominate bringing in the brother of its chairman, Lapo, to do some radical disruptive thinking. I realize he's been a wild guy in the past but we need a wild guy to handle the future. Here's an article on him from a major magazine.

    Anybody got some examples of recent business acumen from our boy Lapo?

    Seriously? Do you not know his past? He's a trust fund nut job. If he got control of Ferrari he'd spend all his time doing coke with trans hookers! :)

    He may have reformed; I'm thinking he could be the Elon Musk of Ferrari

    Great story. Born with everything, hits rock-bottom, then builds himself up to new heights. An Italian version of the American dream.

    I hope he continues to do well.

    Uh, the story link above from the OP was just before his drug fueled faux kidnapping with the tranny hooker. He’s been laying low since then. I’m sure at the behest of the family.

    American dream? Elon Musk? That’s quite a stretch IMO.
