Current models update?
How are we judging the current models? Because current ferrari website for 458's only has the speciales, not the Italia. If this is the system we're using, we also need to put the Speciale A in as it is distinguished as a separate vehicle archetype on the website. Eralam (talk) 20:49, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ I've updated the table and removed the regular 458s, which without doubt have been out of production for a while. I'd say the Speciales can be left there till the end of the year. —Cloverleaf II (talk) 21:28, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Red
Red seems to be "the color" of Ferrari - all their racecars are painted red and pictures of Ferraris are often of red ones. Does anyone know why this is? The articles doesn't say.

Red is the FIA's national racing color of Italy. (Originally, all Ferraris were yellow... This is now Belgium's color.) Trekphiler 23:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, Ferraris are traditionally red because it is Italy's official racing color. However, the Ferrari emblem is placed on a yellow background, and yellow is the official color of the city of Modena, where Enzo was born. One of the things pointing to the contrary would be the model name "Testarossa" which directly translates from Italian as "redhead". I have seen nothing indicating Ferrari's official color, though, so I am not even sure that they have one. To be honest though, it is my belief that the red is simply for loyalty to Italy, and that yellow would be more likely to be their official color. marcusmv3 20:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The colour of the UK is green (see british racing green) so it's a popular choise for brittish sports cars. White for Germany (seems to be less common, but silver metallic is quite popular). Light blue for France (many Bugattis are light blue). See List of international auto racing colors. // Liftarn


 * At one point, ferraris were only available in red..


 * Yellow is indeed the official color of Ferrari, not red. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.136.69.211 (talk) 03:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC).


 * Red is used for Ferrari race cars, but cars sold to the public have often been in other colors, like yellow. John Anderson 11:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Yellow is the official colour of Ferrari.88.196.185.133 (talk) 19:19, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I also agree that back in the early ages of Ferrari that the one color they had left was testarossa the same color that shaped ferrari todayco Correctguy75 (talk) 23:18, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Redirection from "Ferraris"
What's the point of having "Ferraris" (plural form) redirect here, when there is at least a dozen people with Ferraris as surname on Wikipedia? (like Galileo Ferraris, one of the pioneers of our current AC electricity system...) I'd prefer if the redirect was pointing at the disambiguation page instead.

Prancing Horse
The Italian term given here for the Ferrari symbol is Cavallino Rampante, but that actually means "Prancing Pony" (--ino is the diminutive form). "Prancing Horse" would translate to Cavallo Rampante. So for the sake of accuracy, either "Cavallino" should be changed to "Cavallo", or "Horse" to "Pony". --2001:888:10:D5F:0:0:0:2 (talk) 15:34, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I understood that "cavallino" is just "little horse". Lustigson (talk) 11:36, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Store section
The section on stores does not belong per WP:NOTDIR. It is not encyclopedic. The section does not even explain what they are - retail locations selling branded merchandise (not autos). Unless there is an objection and policy-based rational for keeping it, I will remove it. MB 20:59, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Laura Dominica Garello
Hello, the article doesn't mention Laura Dominica Garello, wife of Enzo, who was heavily involved in the management in the 1950s and 1960s. --167.58.138.118 (talk) 15:45, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Tractors?
I came to this article to find the relation between this company. And the Ferrari tractors. And I did not.

Can someone inform me on this? I konw they are still made. And the old ones used the same style of Ferrari name.

I think the article would be better if it told about this conetion. Or the lack of it. 83.243.222.17 (talk) 17:57, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Possible removal from list
An entry in List of colors: A–F contained a link to this page.

The entry is :


 * Ferrari red

I don't see any evidence that this color is discussed in this article and plan to delete it from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors

If someone decides that this color should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  14:43, 20 August 2018 (UTC)


 * From the perspective of someone familiar with Ferrari history, I support deleting "Ferrari red" from the list. "Ferrari red" has never been an official designation from Ferrari for a specific color. It is a colloquial term that could be used to refer to one of many colors used on Ferraris, such as Rosso Corsa, Rosso Scuderia, Rosso Mugello or Rosso Cina. To make things even more complicated, while Rosso Corsa is the most famous shade it has varied considerably, something already covered in wikipedia's article Rosso Corsa. So while its possibly appropriate to mention within the Ferrari article use of multiple "Ferrari reds", since red hues are very widely and characteristically used on Ferraris, there's not really one single color of "Ferrari red" that could be supported by the Ferrari article.

split the article? Ferrari N.V. had little information to write as a separate article than a section (something about IPO and stock information may be), just 100% owner of Ferrari S.p.A. Matthew_hk   t  c  16:59, 6 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Three years later, this still hasn't be fixed. I've changed the article heading from Ferrari N.V. to simply Ferrari, so at least the article does not start with a factual inaccuracy...

Logo change
Hello,

User:BabidP has proposed that we replace the older, yellow, rectangular Ferrari logo with a newer image featuring only the Prancing Horse. He makes the case that Ferrari no longer uses the older logo in official documents, and simply uses the horse instead. I do not want to misrepresent him, so here is his reasoning in his own words, from an edit summary.

Racing horse logo updated from old logo to new logo showing the horse. Thanks User:Marisauna for the words said previosuly but actually this is the perfect logo to be se set to the article; used globally, on social media, on statements, on investor relations letters, os automatic e-mails and a variety of works related to Ferrari. Racing horse is not anymore used above other forms; only it's horse, used above the shield only on Scuderia Ferrari. But, thanks for this. Don't revert the article. <3

This is a large change, and I have disputed it with him because of the older logo's seniority and longstanding use in other language editions. I believe we should discuss this topic and establish consensus before we do anything to the image. What do you all think? Marisauna (talk) 01:17, 15 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for citing this. I express my sincerity with all members from this forum that this logo update is nedeed as it has been used in all other thigs related to Ferrari, "Company" and its related affiliates as you can see on the company website, official accounts on social media presence, car silhuete in the back and other versions. If approved at this forum, I will be fully grateful to one to one member of this place. As a Ferrari's passionate, I want to update the things related to the brand as more accurate possible and not only the Ferrari, but other companies linked to Exor Holding, as a admirer of Agnelli and Ferrari families. Babid (talk) 01:23, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for understanding. It may take a little while before others reply to this thread, so be patient. In the meantime please read our editing policy, and about disruptive edits and edit wars. Stubbornly reinstating a contested edit, removing image copyright flags, and demanding that people "*******DON'T REVERT THIS********" (quoted from your logo change on German Wikipedia) are all impolite and disruptive behavior. Marisauna (talk) 11:45, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand. Sorry for this. I promise that it will not occur again. ~BabidP Babid (talk) 01:39, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

QUESTION
Is there a way to highlight errors, passages that do not correspond in their content to the cited sources and deliberate pejorative interpretations that do not correspond to historical facts or the already mentioned sources directly into the page.

This could be good if one in good faith wants to improve the text

 * You're looking for the failed verification template, which you can add after any reference that does not support the content it follows.
