$600K Ferrari Luce vs. $35K Nissan Leaf: Spot the difference...

My first impression when the Leaf image loaded was that you were being overdramatic. The Ferrari website created the impression of a similar but fundamentally more elegant car (not elegant, just more elegant).

Then the Ferrari image loaded. Wow.

It really is a game of spot the difference. A difficult game.

edit: I don't want to reduce hypercars purely to their "Wow!" factor, but a huge huge part of their value is definitely the feeling they evoke when you see one out of the corner of your eye and your head snaps around. This Leaf/Luce side-profile similarity is completely antithetical to that "Wow!" factor.

I do think the Luce looks a little bit better in that comparison, but I think that is also at least partially due to the photographer being way better. The black parts at the bottom of the Ferrari like like a shadow in that photo, whereas on the nissan it looks like black plastic. But I'm pretty sure that's a trick of the light more than anything.

I wouldn't say it is pretty, but to me it looks nicer on this picture than on the Ferrari website.

It is a very generic shape for sure!

Only the color is similar. Nothing else is otherwise you’ll start putting many cars in the same basket

Huh? I know nothing about cars, but to me there's an obvious difference. If I saw the top car in the street, I'd say "wow that's nice"; while the bottom one just looks like a regular car. The top one looks like it went to the gym, the bottom one looks like it was puffed up through a straw. Idk if that justifies a 20x price difference, but that's my immediate reaction.

Judging by pictures only Ferrari should cost double of Nissan and 1/5 of this[0]
