I'd be curious why user NaOH chose to submit this. I'll offer a justification: it is notable that a car company lists all (I assume?) its past products, giving equal visual weight to the F50 (lauded today) and Mondial 8 (not lauded). By contrast, it's hard to find Ford talking about the Pinto: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=pinto+site%3Aford.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=pinto+site%3Aford.com</a>

  Sometimes you open a page on HN that you would have never opened from any other website, and that in itself, is enough!<p>I think it's part of the addiction to HN, the dopamine hits of never knowing what you'll find.<p>That being said, not all links are interesting, but this one was, at least to me from a design stand point.

As a php coder I’m more fond of Lamborghini.

If I could go back in time I would buy as many 550 Maranellos and 360 Modenas (manual only) and fill a warehouse with them. They are gorgeous looking cars today and destined to be future classics.

  I had the opportunity to purchase a 550 Maranello for $75K about ten years ago. I should have done so, as it would have been a great investment. I would have had to scramble to find that kind of cash though. But I did have quite a few good years driving a 308, and I suspect that is enough Ferrari for me.

I wish Ferrari would bring their manuals back. Their gated manual was such a joy to use. There is probably enough demand (look at the used prices, where manuals sell 40% more), but the new management seems keen to just try to squeeze as much profit as they can from their current tech stack.<p>They have ceased to become a great fun car, to more just something to show off/luxury empty toy.
