[poring over a blueprint with his son]
Enzo Ferrari: Okay. pretend you're inside this engine. In the intake manifold. Right here. Really pretend. You're tiny. The size of a little ant. Now look up. It's silver. What do you see?
Piero Lardi: A big tunnel.
Enzo Ferrari: Like a pipe, yes? Now pretend water races through. And when it hits this side, what does it do?
Piero Lardi: Some will splash sideways.
Enzo Ferrari: But, if I make the curve more gentle, more slippery, what does it do?
Piero Lardi: It will go faster.
Enzo Ferrari: Fuel and air will move faster just like the water. And that is all an engine does. Moves fuel in, sparks them into rapid expansion, moves old gases out, new fuel in. And the faster it can do that, the more power you make.
Piero Lardi: It looks better.
Enzo Ferrari: Does it? I have a secret to tell you. In all life, when a thing works better, usually it is more beautiful to the eye
