The Tesla Model S Plaid has similar horsepower (1020 vs 1035), more torque (1050 lb ft vs 730), faster 0-60 (2.1 vs 2.4s), higher top speed (200 vs 193 mph), more range (358 vs 280 mi).

For roughly 17% of the price.

And it looks the same.

What an abomination!

(You can probably find similar Chinese EVs that also outperform similarly.)

Horrible. I don't care if it was designed by Armani in his deathbed or Jony Ive himself. It's just horrible. The flat sides, not even reminiscence of the testarossa glorious days. Worse than the tesla truck and that's in the lowest levels of design. Be careful not to take the Jaguar road for there is no coming back.

I had the same visceral reaction lol, so ugly.

Oh, this is actually designed by Ive? It all makes sense now. He is a joke of a designer. I had thought people had stopped giving him work. This car has absolutely ZERO life to it for any manufacturer, much less a Ferrari.

I believe he only designed the interior

"In a genius move, they hired design agency LoveFrom to handle the exterior and interior execution: that’s headed by former Apple chief design officer, Sir Jonathan Ive."

Huh. I don't understand the hate because I think this looks incredible. The interior is head and shoulders the best I've ever seen in a car too. Might not look like other Ferraris, but why should it? It's NOT like other Ferraris.

No.

The way I'd phrase your last sentence would be: "It's NOT a Ferrari."

That's the whole problem. If you told me this is the latest Chinese luxury EV, I'd shrug my shoulders, say "hm, not bad" and "not for me," and move on.

For a Ferrari however it's horrendous.

His firm did the entire car. Inside and outside.

It’s a five seat nearly SUV despite Ferrari claiming it isn’t. It makes fake noises in sports mode like the other EVs, it seems to have only two features that come from Ferrari and that’s the quad rear lights and the yellow badge. I’m not the target market for this and never will be but nobody is going to make a poster of that for a teenagers bedroom. Yuck.

> nobody is going to make a poster of that for a teenagers bedroom Do people still do this tho?

Yep they do despite it seeming like an anachronism from the 1980s. I have a few car posters in my workshop because grown ups aren’t allowed to have them on their bedroom walls, at least according to my wife.

They made a Ferrari look asian. If it actually sells in China I‘m gonna be so mad.
