We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The stupidest thing is how Ferrari has historically gone to great lengths to make their cars sleek and pointy despite the need to accommodate big-ass radiators and engine intakes, yet just when using an electric drivetrain makes 'sleek and pointy' easy for them, they come out with this boxy shit instead!

And even worse, it's a sedan (which Ferrari has never made before). WTF.


Clearly, what happened here is that the bean-counters insisted that Ferrari needed to diversify into new market segments (both more practical cars and EVs) but somebody at the top hated the idea, so they did it in the most sabotaged, begrudging way possible. They didn't have the courage to make a proper two-seat electric sports car.

Ferrari had in fact made several sedans.

And a station wagon / estate.

First sentence of the article:

The new model departs from the look of typical Ferraris as the Italian brand's first ever five-seater,

I guess maybe I shouldn't have read that and assumed. I knew they had 2+2 two-door coupes, but didn't know they'd made any four-seaters with four doors.
