    Shocked much? I must say I am.
    As good as he might be at leading a team or how good a driver he is, having him as CEO when he has no management experience seems a bit foolish.

    "Schumacher revealed that Maranello is developing a successor to the Enzo supercar. It will be faster than Bugatti Veyron, with a top speed of at least 300 mph. "
    Guess FerrariPrinze was right..

    also: "To compensate the lack of displacement, the V12 is fed by twin-turbochargers per cylinder. For better weight distribution, these two dozens turbochargers are installed in the cockpit next to the driver and right behind the air conditioning outlets, taking advantage of the cooling air flow"

    Personally, I can't wait for the CS version. I love manuals in cars but manual labour takes things on to a whole new level.

    With Schumacher at the helm never again will a TV set sit, broken and unusable. No more will their gardens and green spaces appear shabby and untended, and the 5-a-side factory team will always be on time for a match; that's for certain.

    my favorite part:

    According to Schumacher, carbon-fiber engine block will not only reduce weight substantially, but it will absorb the carbon-dioxide produced in the combustion chambers and result in carbon-fiber-dioxide. "It actually helps strengthening the block. The solid carbon-fiber-dioxide can be removed from the engine by our technicians after a period of time." Our question is, will the waste decompound back into CO2 in the nature ? "It doesn't matter, we will dump the waste at the backyard of Lamborghini. It's just miles away from our headquarters, very convenient."
    You can call me scott.

    WTF!! CEO of Ferrari... i mean sure the guy can draw a mean line but that's too much. I figure he'll be more useful then the Queen but less then Steve Jobs..the question is where in that gap will he lie. That car they are building will be unnatural though..that type of power can throw the earth off it's orbit..

    edit: ok read the entire link...has Ferrari finally gone insane?? They saw power corrupts..but not even that captures this car..
