I guess I misremembered then. Once I saw this car, my suspicion is that this may have been the canceled Apple car. My theory is Apple saw how much it cost: or something and decided to sell to Ferrari to recoup some of their investment. Apple's biggest mistake (or saving grace to keep them out of this industry) would have been to not let him design the whole thing and Ferrari was left with this.

    There’s no way Apple would have designed something that bad.

    You must not remember the beige boxes they had in the 80s and 90s

    The Apple from the 80s and 90s, 30-40 years ago, is not the same Apple as in 2026.

    And today's Apple isn't yesterday's Apple either or the one from the 2010s. I'm just saying I bet Apple expected another cheese grater or all aluminum design reminiscent of a cybertruck from Ive if they let him design the exterior.

    Apple constantly produces crap (unless you are talking about looks). Case in point, every single one of their computer mouses.. Even something common sense like placement of the power button eludes them. Their titanium laptops all had flaking paint and failing hinges, etc

    They are good at producing good looking items, but, any schmuck could tell them they are overlooking basic BS. The only reason they get away with it, is because they produce a product which SEEMS well manufacturered
