I thought I was going to look at a car when I clicked that link. I scrolled the last 80% of the way out of morbid curiosity. This secondary quest was not disappointing: no car photos. So weird. Perhaps this is a complaint about the title. But since it's all about the interface, I must say, the idea of a sports car with a touch screen is still rather terrifying.

It's a 4-door, 4-seater. Sporty?

It worked for the M5.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Ferraris from the '90s and before That was potentially 36 years ago. 36 years from 1990 would have been 1954. What changed in technology from 1954->1990, vs change in technology from 1990-2026? Quite a lot.

Today's cars are a lot more similar in technology to those of the 1990s than they were to those of the 1950s.

I can fix a 90s car with 2026 car tools, but I can't fix a 2026 car with 90s car tools.

Because of the electronics. They're vastly different, there's tons more, and they're proprietary.

The skeuomorphism is a curious choice. I think if I were going for a radical electric car UI I'd use bar graphs from left to right and things like that. Then again, maybe they don't want to alienate their customers.

1980s style? https://www.core77.com/posts/109822/A-Look-at-Some-Wild-1980...

You know it!

I think Ferraris have gotten especially ugly in the last few generations. I generally like Jony Ive designs. But this is a mismatch. A whole new kind of not-right-is-ugly for Ferrari. Elements of it are precious and well designed. But it doesn't feel like a car interior.

Oh. I have the exact opposite feeling. I'm not into cars but I love this.

My fear is that it’s the most attractive part of the car design :-)

I'm surprised no one talks about their overrated "engineering" section showing the chassis as if it's some piece of work from heaven, but in reality their welding quality is absolutely pathetic and even a 12 year old could do a better job than this:

I don't know but why all electric cars look similarly bare inside? Why don't you make it more exciting and not so “tesla” moderate?

Probably to save weight, given how much the batteries weigh in electric cars. This is purely an uneducated guess, though...

That link is from 3-years ago and not related to this new EV.

Absolutely, it's incredible how Ferrari is able to rich dullards. Mclaren would sell you an engineering masterpiece for half that price.
