Ferrari’s lawyers don’t stop! They take protecting the brand’s good image seriously and to do so they sue whoever is necessary, no matter how rich they are, how famous they are or how many followers they have on social media. And in addition to complaints, the brand has its own blacklist of “buyers” who are not welcome to the brand… Are they crazy or are they doing the right thing? #ferrari #cars I bring you 10 cases, not all of them are complaints, but legal actions, that’s why I called them “cases” … after seeing them all, let’s see what you think… And at the end I’ll give you some names from that supposed “black list”. And, watch out! In this video we end with a “Test of the day”, because we have tested for you not a Ferrari, but a car with 300 HP… which is not bad at all, the VW T-Roc R, an SUV? I don’t know what to tell you… Become a member of this channel to enjoy the benefits: / airtight garage First case: Ferrari vs. a fifteen-year-old admirer. Sammy Wasem was a Ferrari fanatic and in 2008 he decided to create a fan page about the brand… Kids’ stuff… yes, until the damn page became popular and had millions of fans and likes. Ferrari took away their administrator permissions and started another legal battle that ended with the loss of any control of the founders of the fan page. Second case: Ferrari vs. a Dogecopin. Do you know Dogecoin? It is a cryptocurrency that was intended to rival Bitcoin. And to attract attention and coinciding with a conference of its rival Bitcoin in Miami, they paraded a Ferrari F8 Tributo through the streets of Miami… What was the problem? That the decoration was, to put it in some way, very “special” and certainly very far from what is expected in a Ferrari worth several hundred thousand dollars. Third case: Ferrari vs. an NGO. Recent case, from 2022. And there is an NGO called Purosangue Foundation dedicated to the fight against doping in sport. Fourth case: Ferrari vs. Universal Studios. Ferrari's legal office was considering the possibility of suing the producer of the "Fast and Furious" saga, Universal Studios. The reason? The usual one: The use of a replica of one of its most representative vehicles: the FXX. And it seems that the racing sports car that appears in the film is not real; it is, according to the Italian brand, a "homemade" prototype that looks like a Ferrari, the Ferrari logo, but not, for example, the 800-horsepower V12 engine... logical. Fifth case: Ferrari vs. NBC. NBC was the producer of the series "Miami Vice" or as it was called in Spain, "Miami Vice." In it he appeared in a very crude replica of a Ferrari Daytona, so crude that Enzo Ferrari himself became angry and sued the production company and the company that made the replica. Later, he saw a way to get good publicity in a country that was Ferrari's biggest market, so he sent two authentic Testarossas there that appeared, in white, in the series. Sixth case: Ferrari vs. Deadmau5. The famous Canadian DJ Deadmau5 decided to buy a Ferrari 458 Italia. So far so good. But first he decided to call it "Purrari" and then decorate it with little taste with a theme of a cartoon character, Nyan Cut. The fact is that this decoration unleashed the wrath of Ferrari, who sued the DJ and managed to have the car left in its original state. Seventh case: Ferrari vs. limousine company. I really don't know if converting a 360 Modena into a limousine should be punishable by law... but the fact is that it isn't... or maybe it is. Because Ferrari sued this company for damaging its image. They didn't manage to get the car out of circulation, but they did get all the Ferrari logos removed. Eighth case: Ferrari vs. Philipp Plein. Another more famous case is the one between Ferrari and fashion designer Phillip Plein - The reason? That on the artist's Instagram you could see photos of his own designs on a Ferrari 812 Superfast that he owned. Ninth case: Ferrari vs. a 26-year-old Italian mechanic. In Italy this case was very famous for several reasons. The first one surprises me, because this young man was arrested in Asti during a routine check by the Guardia di Finanza. The "cop" saw the Ferrari logos, checked that the documentation said Toyota MR Coupé... arrested him and took him to the police station. Tenth case: Ferrari vs. 50Cent. American rapper, songwriter and actor Curtis James Jackson, better known as “50 cent”, has not been kind to his Ferrari. His statements on Instagram suggested that he did not give his Ferrari proper maintenance… for example, he cleaned his Ferrari with champagne. Test of the Volkswagen T-Roc In this video, we also offer you a test of the Volkswagen T ROC. Don't miss it.
