        I guess I misremembered then. Once I saw this car, my suspicion is that this may have been the canceled Apple car. My theory is Apple saw how much it cost: or something and decided to sell to Ferrari to recoup some of their investment. Apple’s biggest mistake (or saving grace to keep them out of this industry) would have been to not let him design the whole thing and Ferrari was left with this.

            Apple constantly produces crap (unless you are talking about looks). Case in point, every single one of their computer mouses… Even something common sense like placement of the power button eludes them. Their titanium laptops all had flaking paint and failing hinges, etc

            They are good at producing good looking items, but, any schmuck could tell them they are overlooking basic BS. The only reason they get away with it, is because they produce a product which SEEMS well manufacturered

              Of course I’m talking about looks, as that is literally the only thing people take issue about with this car.

                And today’s Apple isn’t yesterday’s Apple either or the one from the 2010s. I’m just saying I bet Apple expected another cheese grater or all aluminum design reminiscent of a cybertruck from Ive if they let him design the exterior.

                  Apple haven’t designed a radically different looking product, or one that bad looking, for decades. Jonny Ive didn’t design that atrocity. He designed the interior, and that shows.
