Once again Ferrari have decided to change their F1 model numbering scheme. This years model gets a really crap model number – 248.

What does the 248 stand for? 2.4L V8 of course! :P Or maybe it’s because they have 2 race drivers, 4 wheels and a V8 in the back? What will next years model be called.. 249? 24807? 2..4..6..8..who-do-we-appreciate? 8)

Let’s have a look at the names of Ferrari F1 cars since 1990..

  • 1990 – F1-90 – cool
  • 1991 – F1-91 – cool
  • 1992 – F1-92A – cool
  • 1993 – F1-93A – cool
