i have changed "will be" to "has" regarding Alonso driving for Ferrari F1 in 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.46.100 (talk) 13:17, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'd like to ad some external links to some Ferrari wallpapers hosted on my site at http://www.cartitans.com/Ferrari/index.php

Does this comply with Wiki codes?

Thanks,

What's the meaning of S.p.A.?

S.p.A. in italian means "Società per Azioni" which is a society that rapresents the partecipation of its owners through stocks. I'd need somebody to make this better though. --Gino

I removed the part about "Sugar Daddy" because I felt it was too informal, and anyhow not really true. I think that the quintessential "Sugar Daddy" car is the Pontiac Trans-Am or perhaps the Chevrolet Corvette. Ferrari's are too rare.

I own a Ferrari, a 1979 Ferrari 308. It is the worst car I have ever owned. It is the most beautiful car ever made.

"The rampant horse however does not identify the Ferrari brand only: Fabio Taglioni's Ducati too had it on its motorbikes. Taglioni's father was in fact a companion of Baracca's, and fought in his famous squad, the 91st Air Squad - renamed SPAD (Société Pour Aviation et ses Dérives) - but when Ferrari became famous and the early legend started to accompany it, Ducati abandoned the horse, some suggest because of a private agreement between the two brands."

ERROR: Not sure where this would go but the pricing for the Enzo is inaccurate. It was offered at $695,000 not $1.8 million dollars. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.88.148 (talk) 15:04, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Squad/SPAD same thing isn't it ?

Seriously SPAD was a French company manufacturing fighters. One of the shareholders was Blèriot. They sold planes to the Italians and the US and maybe others. Baracca flew a SPAD. Ericd 20:50 Mar 24, 2003 (UTC)

"91st Air Squad"? 91st Aviation Squadron, don't you mean? (In Italian...) Trekphiler 00:40, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Enzo Ferrari did intend on building street legal cars that could be used in racing along with street driving.

There's already a link to the official website. We generally don't link to specific pages within official sites. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:22, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I recently stumbled across the SEFAC abbreviation again, and was curious about its meaning.

Firstly, I read on this page that it supposedly stands for 'Scuderia Enzo Ferrari Auto Corse', and elsewhere I've found an alternative 'Scuderia Enzo Ferrari Automobili Corse', but apparently both are incorrect.

On the transcendent Autosport.com Nostalgia Forum, I saw a scan/picture of an old Ferrari document, which has 'SEFAC' as well as "Societa' per azioni Esercizio Fabbriche Automobili e Corse" [intermediate capitals added] as its meaning.

Googling this exact phrase, shows a bunch of trademark and patent sites, proving that this name is indeed a Ferrari trademark — to my untrained eye, that is.

Does this warrant change the SEFAC bit on this page?

Lustigson (talk) 14:37, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, without knowing what doc that is & its provenance, probably not. It means there's info SEFAC's meaning on the page is wrong & needs more research, in hope somebody can source the scanned doc. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 16:17, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Due to being one of those special brands with fans (like Apple) I expect to get shot down but I honestly do think it's potentially relevant since a lot of pages do contain controversy sections and we are to be bold. I'm talking about this article http://jalopnik.com/5760248/how-ferrari-spins He is one of the most respected car journalists as far as I can tell. To save anyone clicking and having to read for a summary, it contains accusations that Ferrari are over protective of their cars when it comes to interacting with journalists going as far as saying they cheat i.e. press cars are tuned much higher than the ones you might actually receive when bought.

It does. Not sure why you can't see it. --Falcadore (talk) 03:01, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is it just me, or does this article read like it was written by a 12 year old? Something about its tone of voice is definitely off and it seems out of place when compared to the rest of Wikipedia (It also uses parentheses like this a lot and used the word "though" a little too often, which comes off as unprofessional to me). There's only two citations in the entire article too, what gives?

@David Adam Kess: It's easy to see from your contributions that you're very interested in promoting your own photography on Wikipedia, but WP is not an image repository, that's what Commons is for, and the material you added to Ferrari was totally promotional, and does not belong in the article. Several of the articles you have added images to also seem to need a clean-up, such as Salamanca (Madrid) where you have added an excessive number of images of doors (suggested reading: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images). And please sign your posts using four tildes (~~~~). Thomas.W ^talk 12:43, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Could someone see if they can link to this new article?

Hmmm, it is far too specific. It should be made into a Ferrari 166 MM article, if not merged altogether with the other Ferrari 166 articles. I could do it one of these days. Cloverleaf II (talk) 19:36, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article is currently wrong. Fiat will not be selling Ferrari as announced by Marchionne. I intend to remove the information over the next day or so reflecting this news. Cassianto^Talk 10:10, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I undid your edit, as the IPO is official. See for example Bloomberg:Ferrari IPO Filing to Come in Days, Fiat Chrysler CEO Says. I'm not much versed in finance, so I cannot tell if currently the whole operation is described correctly. —Cloverleaf II (talk) 19:53, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

True, it badly needs to be reworded appropriately, but the IPO announcement is months old news and has got to be included in the article. As I said I'm not too comfortable with these matters, otherwise I'd have done something about it already. —Cloverleaf II (talk) 20:29, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. This, of course, does clash with what Marchionne said to Bloomberg; I suppose only time will tell. I may reword it over the next few days. Cassianto^Talk 20:58, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that only a 10% portion of the company will sold publicly in the IPO – the remainder will accrue to FCA shareholders, with 10% still held by Piero Ferrari personally. See this. I'll try to update the article later today... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:51, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
