    Older Ferraris had these twin flags inside the car (see photo).

    Unless I am mistaken, the newer cars don't have them anymore.

    What did they represent? And why no more?

    Thanks!

    Ferrari, the manufacturer and Pininfarina, the designer of the particular model.

    "Older" Ferraris? That looks pretty new to me. My 308 must be geriatric.

    Havent you heard? The vintage section is being expanded to include everything not currently in production. It was Luca's idea.

    I should have said "non-current" Ferraris. Sorry!

    The photo is of a 575M. My F355 also had it. But the current ones don't. Why? I like these flags...

    LOL according to the vintage guys, my 308 is too modern. According to the 458/599/FF guys, a 575 is old. The Ferrari world is entertaining. :D

    I have them in my 430. It's an 07. I would imagine that an 09 would also have them. I know it's not technically current but it certainly isn't just a thing of the past.
