Re: Ferrari Roma
Gnil:CGX car nut:Porsche, several years ago, released carefully crafted statements that the footprint of its cars needed to increase to move up into more lenient CO2 emission bands. Furthermore, Porsche, for example in the December 2019 of Car Magazine, states that it would have designed the 992 differently if it knew what it knows today.So why can other manufacturer still make small sports cars ? ( Alpine for example ) I think it is only a marketing decision . They decided that the 911 must suit better the general public .
What would of been different if they designed the 992 today ?
The Alpine isn’t a global product with homologation under various regulations. The footprint issue is more focused on the critical U.S. and China markets.
The statement was left to hang in the article unanswered.
