Its still funny to me how in their post TG career, all three of them have shifted over into one of the others. Jeremy has gone from car-minded travel guide to Richard Hammond. Hammond has gone from the country boy to James May. And May has gone from reassembling old motorcycles in a shed to Jeremy Clarkson... minus the shouting.

@chrisoddy8744 Год назад

@@ZimConstantine Isn't there a running theme in TG where they don't care so much about the speed but more about the (*Italian clichè alert*) quality of the driving experience/soul/passion imbued in the car. This mainly applies to Alfas, Ferraris and sometimes Lambos. Also, since it only costs 170 grand, I think it may be a class or two below, say, the LaFerrari. (These are just my thoughts, feel free to correct me here)

@quillmaurer6563 Год назад

Having a 200mph top speed instead of 199mph is purely about bragging rights. If you have a Ferrari, you're not concerned with such.

@Gentleman...Driver Год назад

@@ZimConstantine Its not a supercar, its a GT - a Gran Turismo. Thats just a different kind of car. Its not about the high performance (which of course it has, too), but also the looks and the comfort. If you want a supercar = SF90 Oh, and also its the "entry" Ferrari, so its one of their weaker models with "just" a V8 engine. There are also other GTs with a V12. Top speed isnt everything either, even in a supercar. Most of the time you cant drive it anyway at such high speeds. Even on the German Autobahn there are plenty of sections with speed limits, traffic, or construction sites... I recommend East Germany, far away from bigger towns, on early sunday morning for high speed runs.

My father ran a gray iron foundry melting steel in our small town up until 1969 and I used to play in The foundry course he did keep me away from the molten steel. LOL but what I did enjoy was making cores in the core room. I thought I would work there when I got older but unfortunately the place was closed down because they could not afford the modern type scrubbers for the steel furnaces.

Wrong. The engine goes. That’s a major part of the experience of driving any performance vehicle. If it goes all electric then it adds several hundred kilos of weight in the batteries. No matter how good you make the suspension, you can’t defeat physics. Especially in cornering. Yes there are some reasonably good handling electric cars but they would be even better without all that extra weight.

The Ferrari revenue is only 3.5B, 25B less than Porsche, 146.5 less than Mercedes, 319 less than Volkswagen, 49 less than Renault, etc. But this is part of the greatness of the brand, Ferrari limited its production because "not everyone can own a Ferrari, it has to remains exclusive".
