Natives who beat drums to drive off evil spirits are objects of scorn to smart Americans who blow horns to break up traffic jams.

Is THAT a Ferrari?!

I say, "Ferrari!"

What comes to mind?

-Fast
-Power
-Sports car
-F1
-Schumacher
-Sexy

The list of complimentary associations with "Ferrari" goes on...

Now, what about "Ferrari FF"?

-confused
-huh?
-hatchback?!

Ok, ok.... it's not
bad, but to me, it's just not Ferrari. The successor to the 612 Scaglietti, called the FF for Ferrari Four - four seats and 4WD - is the first four wheel, versatile Ferrari ever. In that respect, it's a novelty, and being a Ferrari, you know it will deliver. According to Ferrari, "the new car represents not so much an evolution as a true revolution". Revolution indeed. A drastic action or change - anarchy, bloodshed, coup d' état, tumult... that's what comes to my mind when I think of revolution. Of course, it's ultimate intent is generally to provide masses with something better (whether it be sociological, political, economical.....) but still. Gosh Ferrari, you are such a rebel.

How about a green FF for your viewing pleasure?

Now lets move on to some basic automotive design inspired mathematics. I propose the following basic addition:

BMW Z3 coupe + Porsche Panamera + not so pretty = Ferrari FF



BMW Z3 Coupe
+
Panamera


=



And last, but not least, have you seen the commercials for this car? I ask you, would you go offroading in the snow with your Ferrari?
