It will be interesting to see how Ferrari deals with the excess heat of the turbo motor. Will they be reliable in track? When was their last turbo ? F40?

It is.

Design and build quality issues are part of the of Italian car experience. They're a "feature", not a "bug".

Another reason to buy used Fiats, at least with the used ones I know what gremlins I gotta deal with.

I'm no Fiat fan boy but I'll given them credit for stepping up and putting the new motor in their spec racer. Still waiting to see the new GT3 motor in the 991 Cup how many years later??
