Why doesn't Ferrari put a more fuel efficient engine in it, and then wih a nudge nudge, wink wink, have the owner replace it with a more powerful, but less fuel efficient, engine? The type of person that will buy a Ferrari will be able to afford to replace the engine or have aftermarket tuning done. Ferrari is allowed to tell you how to turn it into a gas guzzler, they just can't sell it to you as such. They could even release the source code for the engine computer. It's the owners problem if they blow up their engine, and the engine computer should have no control over steering and brakes.
- FleshGordon 12y agoYou don't buy a Ferrari to replace the engine. You buy it because you don't need to tune it, it's already been done for you.
- gambiting 12y agoIf you replace the engine you need to have the vehicle certified for road usage(in EU) - which will change the road tax, insurance premiums and everything. Not worth doing in pretty much nothing.
