Purosangue Pictures and Videos

I guess someday, there will be a generation that doesn’t even remember the V12. Only a few die hard nerds. How many young people today remember or care about the Chevy Big Blocks? Not that it is truly analogous, but you know what I mean.

 

Except, isn’t Chevy still making V8s? Didn’t they go through the trouble to design a (then) new V8 for the Corvette?

I think Ferrari will keep making V12s. Maybe I am being naive.

 

They still make the V8, just not the big block 427 or 454. Those had a lot of torque and a fantastic loping rumble at idle. Deeper sound and you could feel that torque every time you bumped the accelerator. Of course they drank fuel like a sailor and were heavy. But it was the bees knees when I was a youngster!

The new V8 in the vette is better by every metric. Just a different visceral experience.

 

I mean eventually we won’t be driving cars. We’ll be zipping around the skies in aerials. “Cars had a good 150 year run”, we’ll say. Regulated to the 20th/early 21sr century as competent ground vehicles.

 

No way, we will simply have tele transports!

 

And, just like today people who love horses can still have horses, and places to ride them; there will still be Ferraris, and places to drive them. They are not just cars. (I know, Ive had the kool aid!)
