Looking it over again, trying to see some grace, gave me anxiety.
I hear Devo when I look at it. Personally, that's not a good thing.

Whatever.

The wheel gap is based and correct, it's literally the single least important issue with this design.

Spore-bearing ground fungi must have been present during design sessions.

I mean, just look.
I've seen better lines from that John Deere fella.

What happened at the design studio?

That's a beautiful car, and Ferrari has generally designed the most beautiful cars in automotive history. But that new whatever it is what happens when you combine weed, LSD, coke, meth and fentanyl all at the same time.

I thought the joke was that the Deere fellow was the one doing lines?

I think the funniest thing is all the Ferrari ball worshipers salivating over build quality that has poorly aligned panels, ill fitting parts etc at a 7-8 digit price tag.

I'm not their target audience obviously, but I'd never take a Ferrari over a McLaren at this point. The damned things look like spaceships, I can't take my eyes off them every time I see one.

Amazing thing is, someone got paid to come up with that design. Someone else approved it and they built it.

The Testarossa of the 80’s was not the most beautiful Ferrari either, but that’s not an excuse to intentionally make this one ugly.

They got the design team from Chevy guys who designed the rear of the C8, then grabbed the BMW guys who designed the front of the G cars, gave them Vodka to wash down the cocaine and went nuts!!!!! I’m keeping my 458 till the end. That’s all I know.

The real problem is there are too damn many rich Chinese!

"AI Overview
Ferrari’s Chinese market has evolved into a key, high-demand region, often ranking as its second-largest global market
. Characterized by a younger demographic and over a quarter of sales coming from female buyers, it presents unique challenges"

John Elkann an american who runs Stellantis become a major shareholder in Ferrari/Fiat/Stellantis due to questionable will from his grandfather Agnelli.

He is running everything into the ground including the Italian football team Juventus (Turin). There is a buyout offer to takeover Juventus.

Piero Ferrari owns about 10.5% of Ferrari. Maybe someone will help him buy the company back. The Gulf States money in cars, racing and other things may be drying up.
