Who decides the phonetics of the ferrari models?

[MalcQV]

This dosen't sound right... are you part American?

[ACE]

However when talking about a Mondial I say Mondial.

Ahh but what do you call the Modena???

is it by any chance a Madeeeeeena? (as the typical brits pronounce it?)

It's MOD - E(eh) - NA


Same silly pronunciation as EIBITHA???

It took me 3 hours to understand that they were talking about IBIZA!

It's EB-E-Z-A there is no "th" in it is a "Z" (zed as in ZOO) you don't say I'm of to the Thoo!

[Nero 575]

The 575 is named the 5 -7- 5 in english but in Italian it is the 5-75 Cinque settanta cinque........

[RobPhobos]

The words "point" and "missed" come to mind

Oh I see now, my bad... thought he was confused, now realise what he actually was talking about.

OK, so how do YOU pronounce "Scuderia" ? I thought everybody pronounced it the same until I watched a certain video recording last month

My missus is from Milan so I know how she pronounces it and thus how I do, but there again she keeps saying most people don't even pronounce Ferrari correctly - fussy ***** !!

If they do a 435 to follow the 430 will we call it the 4-35 or 4-3-5?

Easy, 4-3-5 if you are English, or 4-35 if you are American, or is it 4-35 if you are English and 4 -3-5 if you are American. Or Italian, or Japanese. Maybe that is why they decided to call it a California instead of a 1-4-9 to save all the linguistic issues.

[Bourn]

and is it Bar cheta or Bar ceta
and is Testa Rossa or Testa rosa

Personally I think the Americans have a lot to answer for as in

you say pot ay to we say pot a to
you say tom a to we say tom ay to

ffs wheres this thread going

[ACE]

and is it Bar cheta or Bar ceta
and is Testa Rossa or Testa rosa

Ok for the english it is BAR K ET TA (which actually means small boat )

and it's Testa RoSSSa

They do in pure Castellano..................

It might sound that way

Once adain it should read Scoo (as in scooby doo) der (There in a German accent) ee - a

so it's scoodereea
