Ferrari's F458 Italia In the Flesh, Adorned With LEDs: Beautiful

This is awesome! But we are looking for efficient cars. Is this what we are looking for? The New York Times just announced the launch of a new magazine, called National Affairs magazine. National Affairs magazine is a news journal, and it will be heavy on the social science angle. This isn't reading for people that read celebrity gossip magazines.

Ferrari makes Ferraris, they are what they are. When people quit buying them, they will go out of business, they will not make 'green' Ferraris.

They are beautiful brutes. However, Popsci could be consistent and point out their carbon footprint.

I don't think the carbon footprint of a Ferrari is a significant factor. There aren't enough on the road.

The point of this article was not to tell about Ferrari's "green" rating or any other environmental factor about them. It was just to introduce a new car from the company with a technology that is also new to the company. This is similar to the magazines "the goods" column where they introduce hot products that they think were cool. Also not everyone in the world is looking for efficient cars some people still want power and performance in a vehicle. There are very few vehicles at the moment that can offer a mix of the two. Right now I can only think of one and that is the Tesla Roadster which is an amazing piece of machinery. I think it was perfectly fine that they didn't mention anything about the carbon foot print of the car because not everyone wants to be told how terrible the fuel efficiency is of the car is.

Ferrari is on board, eco-wise, with this new creation. It has been designed to be shorter and lighter than its predecessor with a more efficient engine to increase fuel efficiency. It should have lower emissions and CO2 output also. Mind you, all of this is to a small degree, but they are interested in being responsible as well as making awesome cars.

What is with these comments?? The day that Ferrari, of all car makers, trades in performance for fuel efficiency is the day I stop dreaming about owning a Ferrari someday. Not every film has to be a feel-good family tale, not every meal needs to be healthy and nutritious, and not every vehicle needs to be a gas-sipping econobox.

RED, RED and more RED. This is the signature of the Ferrari. It will be interesting to see if they, like the Lamborghini can in fact switch to electric and still provide the speed that is notorious with the Ferrari.
