The man calling out Ferrari over its new electric car is the same man who built modern Ferrari from the wreckage of 1991. Luca di Montezemolo joined the company in 1973, at age 26, as Enzo Ferrari's personal assistant. A year later, he was running the entire F1 team.
In his late 20s, that team won world driver titles with Austrian racer Niki Lauda in 1975 and 1977. He then moved up through Fiat, the Italian car giant that owns Ferrari, and even ran Italy's 1990 World Cup organizing committee.
By 1991, Ferrari was in trouble. Enzo had died three years earlier. Fiat had pushed yearly production to around 4,500 cars, and Ferraris were sitting unsold in showrooms. The F1 team was losing. By the early 1990s, magazine tests were showing Honda's mid-range NSX out-handling the Ferrari 348 on track. So Gianni Agnelli, the billionaire who ran Fiat, called Montezemolo back to fix it.
He moved fast. First he cut production by almost half, so Ferraris would feel rare again. Then he hired what fans still call the dream team: Jean Todt as team boss, Ross Brawn writing race strategy, and a young German driver named Michael Schumacher pulled away from a rival team in 1996.
The numbers from the run that followed still look unreal on paper. Between 1999 and 2004, Ferrari won six straight team championships, and Schumacher won five driver titles in a row. The team took more than two-thirds of every race held in that period. Schumacher retired with 91 career wins, 72 of them in a red Ferrari, still second only to Lewis Hamilton on the all-time list.
The road car business ran on one rule: keep them scarce. Production stayed near 7,000 cars a year even as demand kept climbing. Some buyers waited 15 years to get one. Ferrari built specific models designed to become legends, the Enzo, the 599 GTB, the LaFerrari hybrid hypercar. Across his 23 years in charge, the company's revenue grew about tenfold and sales more than tripled.
In 2014, the new Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne wanted to sell more cars. Montezemolo wanted to keep them rare. Marchionne won the argument, and Montezemolo was pushed out in October. A year later, Ferrari went public on the New York Stock Exchange at $52 a share. Today the stock trades near $350, and the company is worth close to $60 billion, an outcome that arguably proves both men right.
The Ferrari Luce launched Monday. It is a $640,000 four-door family car, fully electric, designed with Jony Ive (the man behind the iPhone) and his studio LoveFrom. Within hours of the reveal, Ferrari's Milan shares dropped about 8 percent. The next day, speaking at a business conference in Rome, Montezemolo said Ferrari was risking "the destruction of a myth" and asked for the Prancing Horse to be taken off the car. He should know what destroying the Ferrari myth looks like. He built that myth himself.
Así como los 60s, los 2000s fueron una época dorada para el diseño automotriz. Diseños atemporales, todas las marcas haciendo cosas distintas, algunos awd, otros rwd, flat 6, v8, v10, v12. Todos con un sonido y un look muy distinto.
Me entristece darme cuenta que actualmente estamos en una de las peores épocas. Marcas con un legado impresionante haciendo productos que nadie quiere para intentar competirle a los chinos en su propio juego.
