Ferrari Scorns the Little Ones
While most of the world’s car manufacturers plan smaller, more fuel-efficient and hybrid models in their bid to “save the planet”, Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo refuses to consider that route. He assured journalists at the Geneva Motor Show that Ferrari would never build a smaller car.
This follows the success of the GTB Fiorano model which has a two year waiting list for buyers. And the next Ferrari will be based upon its highest seller, the F430, which is powered by a V8.
Clearly there is a market for such cars, with Ferrari enjoying good sales and big profits over the last year and buyers lining up to spend their money. It seems that the rich don’t take too much notice of the global warming scare.
Or could it be that they know the whole business is a politically-motivated scare story without scientific foundation…?

The planet may be warming but are we really causing that change? I find myself deeply sceptical.

Actually, the planet is both warming and cooling, depending on where you look - the Arctic is a bit warmer than usual, the Antarctic colder. All the signs point to this being a cyclical event unrelated to man’s activities and yet the global warming extremists behave as if their theory were established fact. As Hitler said, “Make the lie big enough and repeat it often and they will believe it.”
