Ferrari loses court case against Italian custom authorities

interesting turn in that this is the second case in Italy involving replicas that Ferrari has lost, something that was unthinkable not that long ago.

 

I find the argument that it damages their brand hard to make if it is being used as an example of what happens with an infringement and helps Customs officers be better suited to stop further infringements.

Interesting ruling. How are grey area cars handled? Are there any pictures of the specific replica that was involved?

 

I’ve been saying it for years that Ferrari is eventually going to follow Jaguar and Aston in producing their own continuation/replica cars. 1) There is too much revenue available to them not to do it. 2) it will at the same time kill anyone else’s profitability in building replicas.

 

and the replica is now allowed for use by the Italian customs authorities for instructions and schooling.
So these custom officers take turns driving the crap out of it?
