I thought that, at least when it came to racing, Ferrari were loathe to adopt new technology. I think Wouter said something like this ages ago.
The Old Man also resisted a mid-engined Ferrari as he thought that his customers could not drive it competently. I would potentially hesitate to call Ferrari being at the forefront of new racing technology, but I do not know enough to be entirely sure.

Enzo was also very reluctant to switch from drum to disc brakes. He seemed to prefer very well-proven technology to bleeding-edge tech.

Add live rear axles to that list.

Yeah and he made worse rubbish

[quote=Rizaven;959446]Lamborghinis are for posers, Ferraris are for serious drivers. Ferraris have racing heritage and on going racing technological development. For decades Lamborghinis were built in some Guido's garage tested on the autostrada. Only after VW bought it that their cars get better. The only Lambo I genuinely like is the Muira.[/quote]
ferrari's aren't for posing?

Ill have whatever is left. I would love either/any of them. But if the choice was mine either the Murcielago and Gallardo are among my favorite supercars.

Even given that, I still have trouble believing he'd have a problem if he saw where his company is today. Like I said before, they have no choice but to keep getting more sophisticated. Not when you have cars like the GT-R dancing around the Ring like its a walk in the park. Sure you can go lightweight with just a steering wheel and a gearbox like Lotus except with more power, but then you wouldn't really be catering to what Ferrari customers want, which is sophistication and a nice interior. Unfortunately our beloved ball on a stick is dead and gone.

As i said its new Engine V12. Lambo 1000000000000000000000000% all the way, the italia is ok, the lambo is not only sick fast, it is comfy to sit in and the delay in the change/revs/epu's is instant!.
