RE: Ferrari: It's worth seeing

The F430 is probably the last one in the "puro sangue" lineup of Ferraris. Great exhaust sound without the need for an aftermarket exhaust pipe, still rocking a manual gearbox while offering the option for automatic versions for the lazy ones and somehow earthly. I think I heard something recently about Ferrari going full electric in the coming decade or so which kind of sucks. If they're doing it(in case the rumor is true) just so that they be part of the great reset, then that sucks. I don't think there's any threat to our planet coming from the exhaust pipes... There's no threat actually, the planet is in no danger, climate has always changed over the course of time and it will always do, no matter if we will still be inhabiting it or not. Just my two cents...
I was a fan of Ferrari and Schumacher, I believe that Porsches are superior as road cars, and probably more reliable too, but nothing can beat the sound of a proper Ferrari V8, or V12... Testarossa was my favorite when I was a child.
The F430 was glorious and I totally agree, the direction they took from about that point changed things for ever. Progress? Maybe.
I haven't heard the all-electric thing but I'd not be surprised, it seems to be the way they're all going but the impact/benefit on the planet? Time will tell if there really is one. I'm not a huge fan of all-electric cars, the designers make them look fucked, like the Tesla. Piece of shit in my opinion.
Anyway, that aside, there's so much history around the Ferrari brand and it's incredible to think one guy was at the root of it huh?
