New electric Ferrari proves the Apple Car would have been really, really nice
Description
On today's prancing episode of Quick Charge, the prancing horse people at Ferrari have released a world of firsts: the first-ever electric Ferrari, the brand's first 5 passenger sedan, AND the first car designed by legendary Apple designer Jony Ive.
We also draw some parallels between the launch of the first-ever electric four-door Ferrari with the launch of the first-ever electric four-door Ford Mustang a few years ago, and a lot of the same hysterics are upset (for a lot of the same reasons). Plus: Cadillac is going south!
