Enzo was often quoted as saying that the only reason he sold cars, was to finance Ferrari Racing.

After WW2 Ferrari grew steadily with their race cars turned touring car models... in the 70’s Ferrari sold out to FIAT to finance their F1 team ... They were FIAT’s (and Italy’s) crown jewel ... I can’t see them going downscale for volume and I can’t see them existing as a small constructor like McLaren or Lotus...

At this point I’m hoping the Italian government forbids the sale to any foreign company...

Maybe they can create their own “umbrella” with Moto Guzzi, Ducati , Alfa and Lancia... with Guzzi and Alfa handling the lower end..
