I can understand the affection and admiration that Enzo Ferrari's employees had for him and their desire to remember his legacy, but I still can't understand WHY they named this supercar after him. For all of the super-expensive and exotic sports cars his firm built, do you know what Mr. Ferrari's PERSONAL car actually was? You're not going to believe this, but I am serious....a Fiat 128, the quintessial Italian buzz-box econocar.......a fact that Fiat played up in their advertising when they still sold cars here in the U.S. market. Enzo himself really didn't care that much, personally, for sports cars.....to him it was a buisness. He obviously could have driven any Ferrari he wanted, anytime, yet he chose to buzz around Italy and drive to and from his daily job at Modena in a 70 HP kiddy-car.

From admittedly what little I know of Enzo, IMO he would roll over in his grave if he knew this 660 HP 3-second 0-60 car had his FIRST name on it besides his last.

Ferrari's were never friendly daily drivers maybe that's why he prefers to drive around in a Fiat.

They're trying to make them more & more driver friendy in the last 10 -15 years though . . .

Oh, & thanks for the great video

Might be wrong, but wasn't this posted here like 2 weeks back?

By the way, this is on Dutch highways where the speed limit at best is 120km/h.

Good point, Amethy....hadn't considered that. That, and the fact that driving in Italy in any kind of congestion at all.....especially in Rome..... is like trying to dump a gallon of water into a pint jug.
That is not the conditions to be working an ultra-stiff clutch and 400-500 HP, especially for an older person like him.

Oh.....and thanks for the video anyway, O.L.T.......even though my computer was not able to download it.
I'll have to get someone to check the settings....my computer skills are not the best.
