CloseThree senior members of the management team in Maranello aredeparting from the company. Chief Technical Officer Michael Leiters (been with Ferrari for 12 years and was previously at Porsche with responisibility for their SUV line), Chief Manufacturing Officer Vincenzo Regazzoni, and Chief Brand Diversification Officer Nicola Boari.
That is quite a shake up for Ferrari and suggests their new CEO Benedetto Vigna is ushering in large changes.
I hope in this reshuffle Ferrari bring someone on board to improve the styling, especially of the mid-engined cars.
Recent designs have nothing to do with the elegant and artistic Italian ethos of beautiful objects; The Roma is a pleasant exception.

Reginos you are certainly right about the mid 8s and the Roma [except for the weak seats], but The Lusso and the 812s are fine, especially when your design comments apply even more to Porsche who is producing pigs only [the GT4RS JUST SKATES BY]. And most of the 296 GTB is super [the front on design???
].
Leiters sure sucked at Porsche as their SUV are poor design and too small, cramped and quite useless - but maybe his adios is a symptom of problems on the......
PuroSangue. How you make that a 12 cylinder 800 HP rocket, useful and good looking is a difficult task, and I want all of the above. Bjoern -- of course it will be, at least a big 12, say $450usd base. to be expected. I wish the Lusso was still in production, with an 800 HP 12... but that could be another problem: maybe their 4wd tech can't handle more HP and Torque than GTC4 Lusso
Porsche design from the point of view of aesthetics has never been near Ferrari's. When Ferrari produced the beautiful 308/328 series Porsche had the agricultural looking and sounding G series. Even Ferrari race cars looked beautiful in those days, 330 P3, 250LM etc.
Ferrari design started going down since the Testarossa and the 348, I think. The front engined designs in general have been really attractive and some still are.
So, it a matter of Ferrari not keeping up and advancing their design language rather than Porsche being behind.
Some Porsche models compete against Ferrari on the road and in real life but never in the showroom. Having said that I find the 718 series good looking and the Panamera a very unique design for a 4 door limousine with lots of presence. The 992 has been designed outside the tradition of the lithe and nimble looking 911, which is a very wrong direction IMO. Nevertheless it still sells
