The headline on this article implies the drop in value is because #Ferrari decided to make an all-electric car, the Luce.
Ferrari is well-known for how much they guard their image.
I read the article and was shocked when I saw the new car in profile. The Luce profile doesn't have any style cues in common with past Ferraris, has 4 doors, and is painted light blue, not Rosso Corsa.

If the only thing that makes a "Ferrari" a “Ferrari" is the sound... then why the heck have we been impressed at its speed, its agility, its style, its accoutrements, its handling, and its engineering all these years?
If being an electric “breaks" that because it doesn't "sound right" then I think, perhaps, you may be missing the boat...
I'm actually disappointed they tried to 'replicate' a 'sound' from the mechanics inside... because the blinding speed, relentless torque, and absolutely insane engineering all in a *nearly silent* vehicle, should have been part of the charm and wonder.
But some people just gotta have that roar. I get it... but.. also... some things do have to end and we will all be better off for it.
Though really, we'd be much better off on public transit and/or a bike or our own two feet but i digress.
