#282The iPhone 5C of Ferraris – and I am sure it'll have the same fate. It's doubly a shame because Jony actually owns one of the all-time most beautiful classic Ferraris – the 250 Europa. I was hoping they'd do a modern re-imagination and revival. https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/auto/250-europa
He can’t design functionally well doesn’t mean he doesn’t have an appetite or money for things designed well.

Chasing "driver engagement" during regular driving at/below speed limit on regular public roads strikes me as a bit pointless. You're just trying to add friction to the process because there happened to be friction in the past. And when you're not going the speed limit on regular public roads here's plenty of "driver engagement" to be had going too fast round tight corners (hopefully on a track, but we can't all be p…
an eletric lotus would be a blast, but having a big heavy battery seems antithetical to their entire car building philosophy
Isn’t that what the Tesla Roadster was?
Re: Ferrari Luce
#284Cool car but it looks like a Jony Ive car, not a Ferrari.

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.

#286Imagine having Flavio Manzoni as Chief Design Officer but deciding that for the most revolutionary car you'll ever need to make you want someone that never designed a car
Re: Ferrari Luce
#287Horrible. 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.
Buttons for turn signals. Yuck. God, Jony Ive is such an insufferable person.
I think you simply haven't seen the light. Here, perhaps his $4800 lantern can help: https://www.balmuda.com/lovefrom-balmuda/

In software we have an enshittification problem. In industrial design we have a generification problem.

I don't love it either, but that's the whole point I think. Try to pull off an icon, rather than make existing designs works. Cybertruck did it, same with Jaguar. Ultimately the probably should've gone with SUV tho - it's what people buy and looking at interior it what should've been - mass produced, luxury, performance car for everyone. p.s. Car ethusiasts suck and nobody should listen to them. All they want is v8 m…
> same with Jaguar The Jaguar redesign / rebrand has been a complete and utter disaster! A 97% drop in European sales. That’s not a misprint - 97%!! No one would call the cybertruck a success either. This design is a massive mistake for Ferrari. Looks at Porsche’s first electric, the Taycan. I can tell it’s a Porsche as soon as I see it. Look at Lamborghini- looks like a Lambo. Look at this car - looks like a Volkswa…
They basically stopped _making_ any cars; it's kinda hard to not have a drop in sales after that.
Re: Ferrari Luce
#290I like the design. (Might be a hot take)
