Locked Page? Fine

But then someone needs to proofread really good.

Ferrari 500 Mondial

I have read that in the mid 1950s Ockelbo-Lundgren made a replica of the Ferrari 500 Mondial (now sold as Pagano[1]), but I haven't managed to find any info on it. It don't seem to be on the list here. Was it overlooked or is it listed under another name? // Liftarn

Success of Ferrari

Ferrari was also succesful in the 2000's (VERY SUCCESSFUL IN F1), winning 5 out of 7 championships in the 2000's so far.. i'm adding the 2000's to the intro.

Carerra Panamerica

Hi

Ferrari built and shipped 3 cars for the last (cancelled) Carerra Panamerica race in the 50's. A friend of mine Jim Hall of Houston TX, not to be confused with Jim Hall of Chapparal fame (they did compete against each other when the Chapparal was still a front engined car). Bought one of these 3 4.9 Ferraris and raced it up into the late 60's at SCCA events in Texas. This car was very fast for it's time. It was clocked at 183mph at the annual 4th of July event in Galveston TX. There was nothing tempermental about this Ferrari. It would sit idling for hours in the texas heat between races in the pit area.

I have never seen any documentation of this car, and would be interested to find where it wound up.

Surprised there has been no mention that Ferraris are among the most desirable cars ever made, and are one of the ultimate status symbols of wealth in the western wealth. So I've got the ball rolling.

External Link

Hi i have currently made a new exotic car site here. I was wanting to add the relevant pages to relevant wiki pages and wondering if thats ok to do so? Please let me know.

Thanks

Scuderia Ferrari references changed from plural to singular

Hello,

I just changed the construction of sentences referring to Scuderia Ferrari: they are now singular in construction ("Ferrari is") rather than plural ("Ferrari are"). I give a couple of reasons for making this change:

Use of the singular for collective nouns is in fact standard British usage; see Comparison of American and British English#Subject-verb agreement. It isn't used all the time like in North America, but it is acceptable. Per MOS:COMMONALITY, it is preferable to use vocabulary and grammar shared between English varieties.
Articles about British motorsport teams already use this construction. For a quick cross-section, see Team Lotus, McLaren, Tyrrell Racing, Brabham, and Aston Martin in Formula One.
There may be situations where the entity being referred to is ambiguous or irrelevant. Referring to both entities in the singular makes it easier to write these sections.

The rendering of the team as plural was an idiosyncratic decision that I, an American, personally made. I do not think it reflects either correct British English usage or the best interests of this page. If anyone would like to make a counterpoint please feel free.

Current models

Came here from seeing a beautiful car in the wild. The Monza sp2. It is listed as out of production as of 2023 but still listed as current in this article in contradiction to the article on the car. I am not familiar with the car industry nor car wiki but this seems contradictory to me. Either one is wrong or I'm missing an explanation in one (both?) Of the articles. 2A02:1406:45:93D8:1CE:9F43:9E29:8789 (talk) 22:02, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good call, you're correct that the Monza series has finished production and shouldn't be in the current models table. I just removed them both. TKOIII (talk) 19:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Holding company

From what I've found (documented at the bottom of the Ferrari corporate website), Ferrari S.p.A. seems to be owned by a Dutch holding company (registered as Ferrari N.V.) which trades on the various stock exchanges and such.

How should this be documented in the page?

The only other example I can think of which would be a similar structure, is Jaguar Land Rover Limited which operates through a holding company (Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc) but the page for Jaguar Land Rover has quite a messy introduction in my opinion so I don't think that would be a good model to use.
