Ohhhhh Dearrrrrrrr,
That does not look too good,
let's hope it is a coincidence, rather than a design flaw,
I hope somebody investigate the cause/source so that other owners can be re-assured !!

its no design flaw enzo, every supercar at launch almost does that as woners dont follow the running in rules, i remember gallardos doing that when they were out, also lp640s

That's a bit worrying really Dem,
I hope the dealers make it very clear to the new owners what should be done in the running in period.
Regards,
Enzo.

Thing is if you don't follow the running in process then your warrenty is invalide...I know that when I had new Lotus that on the first service they just plugged it in and it told them revs used etc and if it was outside the running in process no warrenty.

Makes sense, just hope people are aware this is the case.

Ferrari must consider a re call, this is the second one. I think Lambo solved the Gallardo problem, you dont hear of them lighting up anymore.

my friend had same issue you did andy when he took his f430 for service they plugged it in and could see what he was doing and how fast, if it was under 2k i think he was not covered and had to buy a new engine or gearbox and that would have been £10-20k

Yep, most do that now...
