Why was there an embargo on stories about the LaFerrari?

Were they worried a bad write-up would stop people from buying?

Ferrari is a dick and wants a later reviews.

I love how self-entitled they think they are.

I came here to say pretty much that same thing.

If any other company in the world followed Ferrari's practices, they'd be sued into oblivion (at least in the US). They are the only company I know that can get away with saying "Oh, you have to own five of our previous cars, and know the CEO personally in order to even be considered to allowed to buy one of our cars".

When I was a child, I used to love Ferrari. Now I'm more of a McLaren fan. I've heard that they actually treat you nice at the dealership, regardless of your current ability to own one of their cars.

Because Ferrari are a bunch of self righteous assholes that think their shit is god's gift to man and that we should all do whatever they say because if we don't we don't get any more Ferraris.

I like McLaren and Lotus non-dicks.

Every piece of media/product that gets reviewed has an embargo. It's so all of the reviews go out at once.

It has nothing to do with "Ferrari being ass holes"

In fact, I'm sure most cars, (probably close to all hypercars and supercars) have embargoes on them.

It's so reviews all get published at once, Ferrari doesn't benefit from it as much as the publications, I don't think.

Edit: I'm not totally sure so if I'm wrong, please don't kill me. Thats just my understanding.

McLaren considered who previously owned McLarens/other cars to decide who got P1's.
