Problem is they may be FORCED into doing something like this by changing fuel and efficiency regulations.

What will probably happen is when the lucky few buy a Ferrari they'll HAVE TO also buy a bunch of "carbon credits" from Al Gore.

And a Porsche, as great as they are, is no Ferrari.

well done!!!

i wonder why ferrari engines are so thirsty

similar power producing V8's in say Porsche Cayenne are much frugal with gas...
maybe its the design... ferrari engines are so lightweight...
