This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yeah, it looks like something Jony Ive designed... Shortly after the LaFerrari came out they said they'd never do an EV or SUV, which is probably where most of the backlash come from. How the turn tables, eh?
Edit: Did Jony Ive also design the interior? Because it looks like straight out of an Apple Store.
I drive an EV
This sort of shit doesn't help with idiots hating EVs on principle
Eh, they make boring looking SUVs, and a good chunk of their lineup is just expensive sporty ~~sedans~~ coupes. Not really surprised they’re making an EV, but it’s pretty ugly.
Guess they wanted a “unwanted stepchild” that couldn’t be associated with the design style of the rest of the fleet. They certainly succeeded with that.
Edit: apparently I’ve woken the Ferrari fans.
The Purosangue is an SUV. A sedan can be either two or four door for the record. You’ll have to forgive my casual use of “sedan”, it should be coupe or similar.
I think you mistook Ferrari for Lamborghini or Porsche.
Umm... I don't think Ferrari makes either SUVs or sedans. You might try calling one of their models an SUV if you are really stretching the definition. Only one of their cars in their entire history has had 4 doors.
To me it looks more like an iphone than a ferrari
That's because it was designed by Jony Ive.
Jon Ive ruined Apple.
This reads like a corrupted Garfield cartoon.
Not a bad look IMHO, but yeah Ferraris tend to be distinct and this isn't really
Yeah I think it's a good looking car but it's clearly not a Ferrari.
Looks like a Volkswagen
If ford had made it it would be heralded. But it's just not Ferrari material.
This could be a Lotus. Lotus E-clipse or so
Same energy
I think it looks alright, honestly.
I also think it looks alright, but if you saw one on the street, would you think it's a Ferrari?
Yes, because it’s got the giant yellow Ferrari logo on the side of it.
Yes, if it was a Kia then it'd be great (at 1/8th the price, maximum).
Yeah, that's exactly it. It doesn't seem bad. It just seems out of place based on the price point and clientele.
The person they've got to get rid of is John Elkann
Just bc you used or “collaborated with Jonny Ivey” or whatever his name is. Doesn’t make me think this car is more aerodynamic - I highly doubt my iPhone is aerodynamic (except when I drop it accidentally¿)
If I was him, I would too. That thing is a disgrace.
I’m confused, are people really butthurt because it doesn’t look exactly like every other car Ferrari has put out? This is literally not even the first car they’ve put out that doesn’t look like a classic Ferrari. They literally make a SUV now. Sometimes I feel like people are just upset whenever a company that traditionally makes ICE cars all of a sudden start making an EV.
Slapping their name on a dumpy SUV was a a stupid cash grab too. For me, the difference is that I expected it to be a dumpy cash grab to separate mcmansioners from their poolhouse money.
If Ferrari said "we're going to release a little electric, suburban grocery-getter", my response would have been "well that looks about right". Just like with the SUV.
When I hear Ferrari is releasing their "first electric car" my mind immediately starts thinking about what kind of little mean monster they could release with all that torque. I am disappointed when I see what looks like another dumpy cash grab, but this one is for missy mcmansion to take to her first day of college.
But then again, I care for speed alone. The scream of an ic engine is neat but to me, secondary. There are probably plenty of gasheads who are just pissy because "electricity is liberal" or something.
I’m not really sure how to respond to this. On the one hand Ferrari went public recently so this should’ve been more expected. On the other hand your use of the term missy mcmansion takes this comment a little too far into the sexist realm for me. I didn’t want to believe that people actually had a problem with this thing not looking “macho” but I guess that’s the world we live in.
In the meantime it can still do 0 to 60 in like two seconds…
It's not sexist to think it looks like a car for people who want a cute, little compact car that lets everyone know they have scratch. That's just what it looks like.
"Missy mcmansion" could easily be a young man who wants those things in a car. He will likely embrace the term because he doesn't think women and their associated descriptors are inherently "less than". This looks looks like a car for a cute purse, a blowout, and a manicure.
I didn't use "missy" to denigrate. I used it as marker for lifestyle choices regardless of sex or gender. You certainly picked up on my dripping distaste, but it's because I think the car looks silly, just like the SUV, and neither fit my lifestyle choices. When I think the big matcho SUV is dumb, am I being sexist?
If it makes you feel any better, I always loved the Miata, because it looks like she's got skin under her nails, cute but not to be played with lightly, and that fits my aesthetic just fine.
Edit: lol, you're mad because I said "bottom energy" and you thought "woman energy" and had to put your misogynistic thoughts on me to make yourself feel better after I explained it 😝
Aww I think it looks cool. I get that people don’t like change; but it’s not like they’ve stopped making the other ones. Feel bad for them; I don’t think its the best use of collective action to punish new ideas that are way down the totem pole of evil in this world.
Ferraris have soul, they're exciting, they look fast standing still. This thing looks fine as a standard passenger EV but it is no Ferrari. People are telling them exactly that, collectively.
