Ferrari 248 F1 – Crap
{ Posted on Jan 25 2006 by dScribe }
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! 
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? 
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
- 1994 – 412-T1 – WTF!?
- 1995 – 412-T2 – ditto
- 1996 – F310 – WTF again!?
- 1997 – F310B – ditto
- 1998 – F300 – seriously WTF!?
- 1999 – F399 – ok, getting better with the 99 in there..
- 2000 – F1-2000 – now we’re talking
- 2001 – F2001 – yeah, bring it on!
