    It was the era. Since then it has been substantially improved.

    I’m not sure we are a good representation of Ferrari future clients, sadly it seems that future clients who haven’t lived through the glorious past decades with recollection of Ferrari iconic cars and racing triumphs, will want a different kind of Ferrari. Personally, I’m more leaning towards classical Ferrari moving forward because I can’t accept these new hybrid cars and will find it impossible to fall in love with an electric Ferrari. But for a younger client who hasn’t witnessed the glorious F40 or drove a 458 or 599 let alone older more characterful Ferrari’s, the new cars will do.

    Ferrari has made a choice to go public, chase higher margins and volume of sales, it works well for the shareholders but it doesn’t suit the old guard clients, but that doesn’t really matter because new clients are the future.

    Some hate change, others find it necessary.

    As long as the F1 team is funded, and (hopefully) winning, Enzo will stay on his back. Without progress all are eventually doomed.

    Well, Enzo is on record of saying his favorite Ferrari is the next one. So I think you are right. However, I think modern tech - will come up with something that makes it "Ferrari"... I'm not sure what it is. Amazing dynamics 0-100 in 2 sec? what ever it is there is some young guy ( or gal ) working on it now.

    Hang on when you pour the beans to a 599.--nothing like a front engine V12.
