I really like what Jony Ive did with Ferrari. It’s the perfect blend of digital and analog instruments. High quality material and finishing.

Many of these German car companies are following what sells well in Chinese markets, more and more screens. IMO, nothing beats the feeling and assurance of tactile buttons/toggles/knobs.

Fingers crossed the Chinese eventually figure out the screens are the mark of cheapness, and start demanding 100% physical controls.

Just commented the same thing! I loved the clock turning to a compass and screens being set back

It is really really good, loved it too.

But doing on a niche car is such a waste of development resources (as all Ferraris are of course). Or maybe given this is going to be EV perhaps Ferrari is finally planning mass manufactured car, but I doubt.
