• Notice how no one is saying sf90, la Ferrari, Roma etc... Are they too new? Nostalgia hasn't caught up or they are shit?

  • I'd wager that as most people get older they generally give less of a shit about 'current supercars'. That and the lack of appealing supercars in current media (arguably James Bond is probably an exception, but even the last one of those I watched the main Aston was a DB5 I think).

  • I’m definitely in the former camp. We dropped into a car museum in OC a week or two back and there was a new Ferrari something parked next to a 512BB, a Testarossa and a 512TR. By itself it looked pretty good, if far too large and opulent. By comparison with the others, it was a disaster.

    Back when I was a kid, you still had to be minted to have a super car, but you also had to be an enthusiast, as they were uncomfortable, unreliable and hard to drive. Now they’re kinda generic, bloated, luxo- wealth-barges and there’s way too many around to be that interested by any of them.
