I still don't get it --- why "La" ?

Le Car was taken

LaOops!

 

Because they're pretentious idiots and wanted the silliest name they could get?

 

Don´t worry, nobody gets it.

 

La Ferrari is feminine, cars in Italian are feminine (la macchina).

 

Yes, they got the gender right of course. But that doesn't explain why this bizarre name, of all things.

 

L, A

Numbers 12, 1 of the alphabet

Romans 12:1

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

 

as i told you all in an earlier thread, in italian when they put the 'la' in front of the word, it denotes the object as the 'epitome of' . hence the name.

yes, i also think its stupid. but i know why they did it. it also has something to do with jim's p 4/5, but he has told that story on here already as well.

 

The official beat the dead horse thread!

 

Makes sense & LOL

Italian car, buy an Italian car company, using an Italian name.

Who would have thought.

 

i kinda like the name. btw, the enzo had a strange official name too, something like
"enzo ferrari enzo" or " ferrari enzo ferrari", or, oh hell, i give up.

 

+1 and LDM is a EGO CENTRIC ELITIST, hence getting rid of Schumacher, Todt, Brawn, and the rest too early. Moron with a Moron name for an incredible CAR!

Can't wait for the next supercar name ... lol

I've come to accept it and happily call the car by it's name. Now its no different to me than 458, Testarossa, Enzo or any other moniker. Clumsy name to be sure, but what's done is done. The car gives me goosebumps just looking at it. La Ferrari indeed!

 

this post is no testament to intelligence either. Which legendary brands have you brought back to the top of their game recently?

Because every supercar is the best one they ever made the next one will have to be the La La Ferrari. Give it a few decades and they will be able to record a song

 

Hey

You ever make CF wheels? We're thinking of them for our next one off.

PM me

 

Will somebody reach over and reboot the internet... it seems to be broken again.

Yes and no.

"La" is simply the feminine form of "the" in Italian. Therefore, "La Ferrari" simply means "the Ferrari."

Except that, as you rightly pointed out, it is to be read as "THE Ferrari" in this context as the car is meant to epitomize what Ferrari stands for.
