I hate 20 inch, floating, glued to the dash tablets with such a passion. It cannot be such a huge monetary difference to have physical switches for the AC compared to this attention grabbing accident causing contraption that was never meant to be put in a human commandeered vehicle.

"Sir" Jony Ive? Sure fine, recognized by the crown and all that. It looks like a Kia. Don't get me wrong, I like Kia's. If Ive was a lollipop he'd lick himself. When you get to a point that you can no longer do seminal & groundbreaking work, and you continue to cling to what you used to be, just stop; even if only in respect to the good stuff you've done already.

Ahem, there is a new Rolling Stones album slated for release in 2026. I most definitely agree with you by the way.

lol. Emotional Rescue was when I stopped listening, but I hope that Keith and Mick live forever, even as statistical outliers. I love folks that win the life lottery. It's a hope for all of us.

I don't like it at all. The curves, the silhouette, does not work at all, it does not "speak" to me as a Ferrari. Again, a heritage brand ruined by an obnoxious, pesky iPad like display that has no business being in a Ferrari. The front profile is hideous too.

I love the EV idea, but the exterior design is terrible

I suspect this car is more aimed at people who want a Tesla with a sports car badge rather than people who want a sports car. And I think that’s why most on here don’t like it.

For the vast majority of people, a Ferrari is something aspirational. But for those who can afford one but would rather have “normal” car, this might appeal. It has the form of something practical while still signalling wealth.

Before now, that generally meant those equally-ugly but for different reasons 4-wheel drive and SUVs.

If you view this as (for example) something for rich mums to take their kids to school in, then it makes a lot more sense.

At least that’s the demographic I think they’re quietly going after.

How very unexciting. Works for laptops, Ive should stick to that. Compare that to the next car on the list, now that's thrilling. https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/auto/849-testarossa

My god that V8 sounds terrible. From a company that made countless howling V12s, it's quite disappointing.

Emission regulations I'm guessing.
