I think this will be a useless case at the court because the Ferrari "" F150 " is a Formula 1 car name and not a street car like the model from Ford.... Confused.. so it's not a sales car . ( i mean you can't buy/order this type of car ,like you can do with the Ford model )

According to Ferrari, "F150" was only the abbreviation from "F150th Italia", and from now on Ferrari will use only the complete name.
