The 20 New models by 2030..What We Know

And 5 disappointing F1 racers

 

100% bull ****.

“How to destroy an icon”. Who’s running this show into the ground?

 

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.

 

A beautiful surprise could only be a N/A V8 mide engine.

 

That’s not beautiful, that’s magnificent. The return of the 458? People would lose their minds.

 

Or a mid engine V12...

 

I'm betting on a Ferrari that will compete with the Porsche GT3 RS models no hybrid, less power, but significantly lighter.

 

An N/A V8 from the Speciale with 750 hp would be awesome.

 

By the looks of that God forsaken New Testarossa, Ferrari is no longer the company it has been. The glory days are over.

 

How is a design theme woke?

 

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.

 

Gated!

 

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.
