Why are expensive cars allowed to be so much less reliable than cheaper cars? This ferrari is the more reliable of the lot, and it still has massive reliability issues that would call for other cars heads to be cut off, but apparently it's the best car of its time.
it's not that they're allowed to, it's that the higher performance comes from making an engine with tighter tolerances etc which means smaller imbalances or flaws can create bigger problems. As tech improves, we will be able to get more performance without the big reliability hit, but as it has been, it is almost impossible for the two to co-exist just from a mechanics standpoint

Enjoy those mechanic bills new car cucks.

Most of them are driven less then 200 miles a year, so the problems never get noticed.

s2000 made highest hp/l on an na engine until the 458 came along, and they make it past 200,000 miles quite easily. reliability on a high strung motor can exist.
it's just lazy engineering and a lack of actual testing on ferraris behalf. They're more concerned with whose buying their cars then actually making a decent product.
If Enzo were brought back to life he would just kill himself at how far Ferrari has come from what he envisioned.

That's funny.
For some reason Porsche makes some of the most reliable cars and probably the most reliable in the same class as those glorified Fiats

build a V8 or V12 that redlines at 8500+ that doesn't need serviced frequently. seriously, would make billions.

ferrari has been down hill since he sold ferrari to fiat in the early 70's. they're no longer car's for drivers, but cars for collectors.
