I really wonder if Ferrari will survive without the teat to suckle off the funds from Fiat to make it as a highly profitable business to even stay in F1?, as selling a handful of boutique sportcars just doesn't seem like it could it at the astronomical R& D costs for not only it's cars, but F1
For instance, by itself, the Viper is a negative-return car based on it's ROI, however a halo car for the parent company. Break off the Corvette from parent company GM, and it most likely won't make it on it's own as well.
Strange thing is, the writing is on the wall for all sports cars...when the autonomous driving car comes(and it is coming even if we don't like it, just as manuals are disappearing), slowly but surely, the old guard will change as the ability to drive a car will become as archaic as the need to ride a horse when the Model-T came down the pike full chat.
