\nThere\u2019s absolutely no argument that Ferrari is the most recognizable name in the history of automobile manufacturing and car racing. In fact, the Italian manufacturer was awarded the title of the world\u2019s strongest brand for two consecutive years (2019, 2020) by Brand Finance, beating the likes of McDonald\u2019s, Coca-Cola, Amazon, and Apple. Are you, at all, surprised? Probably no, because Ferrari\u2019s brand recognition continues to be unmatched. It\u2019s a great achievement, undoubtedly, but the automaker is often criticized for being a little too uptight and touchy about its brand cachet. Ferrari<\/a> is quite rigid with its rules when it comes to how its cars and brand identity are treated and is quick to file lawsuits against those who they perceive as a threat to their image.

Here are 5 such famous incidents where Ferrari filed absurd lawsuits to protect its brand:

\nYou may believe that purchasing a car from a manufacturer gives you the freedom to make any kind of modifications to suit your taste. Well, that\u2019s not the case with Ferrari, even if the owner is a powerful billionaire with proven racing history. Especially, when we are talking about the iconic F40 \u2013 the last car to be developed under the supervision of Il Commendatore Enzo Ferrari. Out of the approximately 1300 F40s built by Ferrari, 19 were purpose-built as F40 LM to be eligible for the IMSA GT Series in the US. The final example of the F40 LM was bought by Jean \u2019Beurlys\u2019 Blaton, a Belgian billionaire who even competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans more than fifteen times, mostly with Ferrari machines. <\/p>\n
