Ferrari, whose cars flourish with multi-cylinder big-volume noisy engines, always objected the move to smaller engines. The FIA motorsport governing body supported the move in order to paint the sport in a greener color. "I'm convinced that the current V8s could still have a use, as they have some room to improve their performance. Making brand-new engines does not seem to be a truly effective cost-cutting measure," said di Montezemolo. During the last few years, Ferrari has transferred Formula 1 technology to its road cars, however most of the aerodynamic developments work on a Formula 1 car are worthless for road cars.
