    I was at the Dealership yesterday and the Manager told me Ferrari was going to make a big announcement in about a month. That was all he would say. Anybody got an idea what it might be?

    "In a class move, Ferrari today announced that they are shuttering the factory doors and permanently ceasing operations so as to "go out while still at the top." The contents of the factory museum are being sold off, and the proceeds will be earmarked as a pension fund for all current Ferrari employees." ;)

    LOL! That's why I made my post. I'm a "Porsche guy," and until they DIDN'T, Porsche's "motto" was "At Porsche, we only build sports cars."

    If I could be put in suspended animation between Ferrari's teases and reveals, I'd probably live a thousand years.

    the new big brother is going to be called the pistaone.

    (Paolo, a native Italian speaker from Milano, gives an example of how vezzeggiativi are used: "I have a friend who calls me Paoletto. This doesn't sound very much like a man, of course, but it's out of affection. More realistically, my brother calls me Paolone, Big Paolo.")

    No more DCT/F1 Transmissions, going back to all manual gear rowing only. Automatic lovers need not apply. They want to pop the bubble in the used manual market. But they will offer Valeo for one year only and sell another 35 of them.

    Hybrid
    Smaller petrol motor not necessarily a V8 powering the rear wheels and electric motor at the front so part time 4wd .
    When both run the combined power and traction will make it quick ...... until the batteries run flat .
    Euro emission target lead .
    Think BMW ,s I 8 running gear .Ferraised .

    I was at the Geneva show in March and almost every stand had either a real hybrid or a concept or full E.V. versions .
    The new Alfa suv due next year is a hybrid described as above debuted at the show - real stunner .
    The Alfa stand , Fiat ( Jeep ) , Maserati and Ferrari were adjacent .So as a group like the VAG stuff there’s a car for everybody somewhere .

    Ferrari are just playing catch up - re green / environmental marketing and forthcoming EU legislation.

    It would be nice if Ferrari came out with a brand new entry level V8, with 900bhp, a 250mph top speed, and front and rear mounted sights to line up lesser vehicles for passing..... screw the PC world of hybrid rubbish and pretending to use less fuel...... 8mpg and enough power to spin the world backwards please, and seats for two, me and ‘a.n.other hot blonde in her heels’.... twos company, threes a distraction, at least while driving

    They're buying the F1 team from Mercedes, painting the cars red and running them as Ferraris.....:rolleyes:

    Long as they don’t buy the drivers, I’d be happy. Put that goofy muppet in red, or his gormless butler bottles, and I’ll withdraw my tifosi card until they come to their senses

    He may wish, but no one at Ferrari would be daft enough to employ a driver who would demand he is the priority over Ferrari itself... the old man would be turning in his grave so fast there’ll be sparks flying

    he would not adapt well to Ferrari culture. That is for sure.
