The author also salutes Ferrari for not going retro like practically every other car manufacturer.

"Its a stunning achievement, especially when you remember that Ferrari lugs more emotional baggage around with it than virtually anoyone else. YEt there's been no Miura or GT40 retread for these guys. 'The temptation is enormous,' Stephenson agrees,'but Ferrari simply never will. It's just not the company's style. It understands its history, but it prefers modern solutions.'


So, I guess with the Testarossa and GTO of the 1980's it was just a coincidence that they used these names also in the 1950's
