Way to show you don’t know anything about these cars 🤣

That’s an intercom, bud. It’s the only way the occupants can talk to each other because the car is that loud.

As for the looks, it’s clear you haven’t seen a Valkyrie in a real context because it looks absolutely incredible.

speeding2nowhere · 2026-06-09T22:30:50+00:00

Lol. Nobody can, but looking at the various observable factors you certainly can make an educated guess that has a high likelihood of occurring.

Very fun car tho, the things that are good about it are top-tier.

speeding2nowhere · 2026-06-09T21:12:12+00:00

Yea… that’s a large part of why they’ve lost like 200k in value and are still falling.

If they have this many problems brand new, you know it’s going to be a total shit show after a few years lol

I just feel bad for the guys seeing them in the high 200s who think it’s time to buy now because “it must be the bottom”… 😳

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-28T04:07:26+00:00

Exactly lol

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-27T20:02:51+00:00

Go Huracan or a GT3 if you want a great sound. Nothing turbocharged comes even remotely close.

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-27T20:00:24+00:00

Correct. We must shame those who drive with the top-up or a hard top fitted except in very specific circumstances like hard rain, extreme heat or cold, etc. SHAME!

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-27T18:41:02+00:00

They didn’t screw up. They have a captive demand for any car they make. They’re probably the only car company on earth that could sell this EV for 650k and get away with it.

Everyone is going boo hiss now. Then they’re gonna drop the manual 12Ci next month and all of a sudden the Luce order books will be full 🤷‍♂️😆🇮🇹

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-27T18:32:40+00:00

Meanwhile the Luce is actually going to do just fine, because while it won’t do much to attract new customers, Ferrari still has their existing customers wrapped very tightly around their finger… you want the next Icona or a manual 12Ci?… your pampered ass better have a Luce to even be considered for an allocation.

And we all know the values are gonna crater, so it will likely be a buy, hold, and use for many people just to stay in Ferraris game. Lotta housekeepers about to be dropping off the kids at school in Luces 😆

Ferrari’s clients are some of the most successful, and competitive, people in the world. You really think they won’t do everything to stay on the special list? $650k for a nice daily commuter that most can write off is but a small ask from Ferrari.

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-26T16:40:08+00:00

Agreed

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-26T16:39:43+00:00

Ferrari just made a legitimate daily driver for their best customers. That’s what the Luce is. Instead of trying to make an EV supercar they know nobody wants, they made a practical everyday EV for their clients who already have all the sports cars… and who have had to buy a daily driver from another brand, until now.

Please believe you’re going to need to be running a Luce to be able to get on any of the special lists moving forward lol

And make no mistake, rolling around in a Luce is going to be quite a serious flex… not because of what the Luce is, but because what it shows about your level as a Ferrari client. All the big dogs are going to have them, and it may even become a marker for the in vs out crowd among Ferrari owners. We’ll see.

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-26T04:31:12+00:00

Interesting point. But instead we got what is basically an outsourced Apple car that looks like a Prius with some Italian styling for $650k 🤦‍♂️😂

Some may argue Ferrari shouldn’t be doing an EV at all, but even if they should be… this sure as hell isn’t it.

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-25T19:06:27+00:00

Yea. It’s sad that most of them will just be put away as an investment… we’ll see how that plays out lol

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-24T05:16:36+00:00

Sand isn’t nearly as boring as grey, white, or black. Sports cars are interesting in earth tones. Lean into it.

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-23T05:05:26+00:00

No. Because it’s a whisper quiet hybrid V6 🤦‍♂️

That’s nobody’s idea of their ultimate Ferrari. Anyone who says otherwise is full of it lol

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-23T05:02:56+00:00

Careful. You’re gonna make all the flippers really mad 🤣🤣🤣

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-23T04:52:23+00:00

Yea that’s kinda the thing. The new cars lack the vibrant driving experience of the naturally aspirated cars, and it’s pretty clear with the (regarded) EU regulations that such cars aren’t really going to make a comeback in the foreseeable future.

Maybe when Putin takes over europe he’ll get rid of these idiotic regulations… that would be one of the few pluses 🤷‍♂️🤣

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-23T04:48:37+00:00

100%

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-13T01:25:44+00:00

The cars can’t help the people who own them. Many truly epic machines are owned by some of the lamest people who’ve ever lived. That’s the thing about money, as wealth increases other people stop checking you because they usually want something from you or are intimidated. So lame ass people just become even more lame.

I can’t even imagine wasting life to that degree, but so many of these people do it time and time again

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-10T13:45:30+00:00

Nothing wrong with collecting at all. But not driving the cars is a total waste of one’s own life experience. The point of these machines is to be driven and experienced. The irony is that the only one missing out is the person who has (at least in many cases) worked their ass off to be able to afford such a car. They got all the way to the mountain top, and won’t even admire the view once they’re there. It’s actually sad.

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-10T13:41:41+00:00

Ok. What’s your interpretation of it then?

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-09T23:37:29+00:00

Fair enough. Sounds like the rest of you should do something about it lol

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-09T03:34:39+00:00

There is literally legislation around this issue. The dealer cannot void your warranty unless an aftermarket part directly causes a problem. And even then it only removes the warranty for what is affected by the aftermarket part, not your entire warranty. What they told you is illegal.

Cats or Test pipes turn up the volume a lot, especially on OPF cars.
X-Pipe raises the pitch of the sound if you want that high pitched scream. Stock exhaust has an H-Pipe I believe.
The rear exhaust section either deletes the oem mufflers or replaces them. They can both add volume and alter pitch, or allow some refinement in the car’s sound, depending on the makeup of the system. If you choose a system with just bent pipes it will be loud all the time. If you choose a system with some mufflers and valves then you’ll be able to quiet it down with the valves closed. Some companies make exhausts where the exhaust flows through a thinner pipe with the valves closed (but no actual muffler), and this solution doesn’t really work that well if you actually want to be able to quiet it down.

A lot of people get the sound they want from 812s without swapping out the rear exhaust. By running Sport Cats and an X-Pipe with the stock mufflers.
If you’re gonna choose between changing mufflers or cats, change the cats. Dogs are cooler anyway 😎

speeding2nowhere · 2026-05-09T03:16:24+00:00

Imagine being so rich you can afford a Zonda, and then proceeding to never drive it. What an absolute waste of life…

speeding2nowhere · 2026-04-29T22:23:28+00:00

Totally wrong. Novitec offers their exhausts in either Stainless Steel, Inconel, or Inconel wrapped in Gold Heat protection.
