Is Rolls-Royce British or German now?


So Ferrari has been Germanized. For me, at last. It's becoming digital and electronic.

Well Ferrari's biggest inspiration is racing and the production cars inherit almost everything from F1. The Gallardo on the other hand inherit everything from Audi. I still see Ferrari as very Italian while Lamborghini is so German the official language coporate language should be German.

Although Ferraris are controlled by very advance technology they still have spirit, just look at the amazing job Ferrari have done with the engines. The Gallardo on the other hand is not only German because of it's interior and design cues but mostly because it's too efficient. R8 and LP650 review are almost identical with close to zero difference in the cars except for power output. IMO Lamborghini are losing their spirit, especially when VAG keep bumping up the production.


As for British cars the notion of "British cars" is slowly fading away. All British manufacturers are owned by foreign corporation slowly washing away all the traditions, heritage and spirit. It makes me sad that Brit's are so cheap that nobody is willing to step up and even preserve a small manufacturer like Aston Martin.
