You can always get the Giulia Quadrifoglio, it has the CF driveshaft along with tons of better stuff like more power, better sound, torque vectoring, double-wishbone front suspension, carbon fiber hood.

I find it mysterious that the uber expensive sort of special edition CS isn't a part of this then. How would that not be held to the same regulations? Any info on the weight between the two? Maybe with the smaller diameter it is around the same weight of the CF driveshaft. So this could all mean nothing except for a material change. I guess it wouldn't be as strong as a CF one, but strong enough I imagine. |

How does this impact replacement driveshafts?
If an F8X with a carbon driveshaft needs a replacement driveshaft after the switch-over date, will it get a carbon one or the new steel one? Seems like it will get the new steel one. |

I can't get contrast stitching to match my wife's favorite lipstick so I am going to go buy a different car that also doesn't offer that option just to stick it to the man! Nope. Feel free to be suspicious and certainly vote with your wallet - you have that right as a consumer. But regulatory concerns are no joke, and they are relentlessly and merciless changing in favor of gradually phasing out the ICE. Prepare for PHEV to be the new turbocharging because soon the legislative bodies across the globe will see to it that it costs more to build a pure ICE car than a hybrid. But the good news is, cars keep getting quicker and quicker. There's a silver lining in everything (except a reversible jacket). |
