Default Ferrari: "I don't like turbos."

Motor Trend: November 2004, Page: 13

Armedeo Felisa, Ferrari's Deputy Managing Director said:

"Except for the Enzo, we won't go for the most powerful engine on the market...

...Others have turbos, making it easy to go for maximum power and that's the easiest way for them to compete against us. But we want a complete performance car, a good compromise between all systems.

I don't like turbos."

Oh, Audi Content: I drove another S4 with X-Chip on 91 and no PTP. I think it's just the NorCal weather, Tory. ;-P

My take: that's just an excuse. If technology is available, you should use it to your benefit. :-)
