It's a special car but it just doesn't sound right.

I met a 488GTB owner at the Nurburgring GP today.

He had steel rotors. Ceramics are also **** at Ferrari, total garbage he said.
No overheating issues.
Fuel autonomy : 5 Nordschleife laps.
He had 10 000km on the odo, lot of track times, and so far no issues.

When you see how fast modern turbo cars are, you realize the futility of the hybrid/battery system. It was a single-generation experiment.. the cars which come before the laferrari, 918, & P1 will maintain values much better than this flawed generation of hypercars

Followed one on the road yesterday. Looked good and sounded much better than expected.

Always did wonder about the long term viability of these hybrids. There's a lot of complexity to these things.
