What Happened To Ferrari? The Story Of Their Sudden Collapse

  For as long as anyone can remember, Ferrari made the best sports cars on the market. They made pure driving machines that were incredibly rapid for their time. However, recently, Ferrari has caved in to the cash, abandoning the sports cars we all know and love, now with their focus on SUVs, luxury sedans, and even hatchbacks. The car pictured on the left is the legendary F40. It was the peak of performance and style in the 80's, a true legend that is popular to this day. However, the modern Ferrari lineup carries little to no resemblance to the prior successes of the brand, they merely scoff at their ancestors. Motor Trend criticized the brand new Ferrari F8, saying "This car's got issues" while calling out Ferrari for relaxing their previous standards, as shown in the F8's brakes, which have been likened to "Wooden brakes" by the Motor Trend columnists. When reviewing the Ferrari FF, many saw it as a sign of the apocalypse. While the world hasn't ended yet, Ferrari making a wagon is definitely not something any of us could have predicted. Motor Trend put it bluntly, saying recent Ferraris "Utterly fail to conjure the Italian bravura [That past Ferraris are known for]" The last century of sports cars have been all Ferrari, but the next century belongs to Porsche, McLaren, Jaguar, Aston Martin, etc... Unfortunately, Ferrari are losing ground (fast) to the up and coming sports car brands. A shame, as Ferrari were really special when they were in their zone.
