    Had the call for an Aparta, dealer said their allocation for the A is only 9 units in total. Said a lean is required, as well as 50K down. My dealer is going to see the car in a few days, says from what he hears from the factory, its a BEAST!!! and just a blast to drive.

    Sounds super engaging!

    I test drove a 750s spider, and I'm surprised to learn how much improvement it got over the 720s.

    Have you driven a LaF, 918, P1? You might be surprised. Of course batteries are expensive and need replacement, but that has nothing to do with the enjoyment one gets from a car
    There isn’t much driver feel coming from a car being limited production, other than the psychological effect of owning something special. A regular 296 is also an incredible drivers car.
    I hate batteries in cars, but fair is fair

    Hey, the Year 2010 just called for you and said thanks for just reading its list of concerns.

    Your statements are generalizations built on falsehoods. They are similar to "The Sun will run out of hydrogen after some years and will have to be replaced. Unless it first produces massive, super solar flare activity that ends humanity."

    I am guessing you are not remotely up to date with powertrain battery systems in EVs. Battery systems in full EVs show the ability to last 500K miles. Already demonstrated in reality: only 15% range loss after 200K miles, and these systems come with 8-year warranties. And those are for driving 350 miles as electric powertrains.

    Per 100,000 vehicles, EV cars have an average of 25 fires. Gas (ICE) has roughly 1,530; so EV has 1/60th the amount of fires as ICE.

    The 296 and SF90 use very small battery systems. They have a range of 15 miles, 1/25th the size of existing EVs. How many of them will be driven for more than 50K miles? Plus the batteries being used now are consumer product level cost with high reliability. At 10K miles, its 2% range loss. At 20K; 4%. Lets be aggressive and say its 5%; that means the battery 14+ miles range at 10K-20K miles

    Also, you do realize that Formula 1 has been using a hybrid system for quite some time? And will move to an even tighter 50% gas/50% electric powertrain.

    You get a better linear fill of the power curve in torque and hp using both.

    Stop with the commonsense, the new trend is to constantly fake rage and complain, the more unaffected you are by the subject the louder you have to be, also you have to be pissed of on behalf of others, it's fashionable.

    I love the internet but one of its biggest downsides is the fact that it gave voice to basement dwellers, they used to only be heard by their mums when they were screaming for sandwiches now we all have to hear them.

    On principle I’d never let anyone else lien something I bought. Especially someone who will profit from the front end of the transaction.

    can you explain please? I’m not following what the ferrari lien we are referring to. If customer buys out the car why would Ferrari or dealer have lien on it. The title will show the car in the customer’s name. If it was financed through FFS then yes FFS will have a lien.

    i am not following this concept of a lien. I am aware of ROFR but this is new to me that i dont fully appreciate. Thank you.
