Anyone else notice that the La Ferrari is mislabeled as an Enzo?

TheyWereAllTakenMany of the prints are incorrect, you're right. I went through the posters again, and there are several other mislabeled cars as well. The BMW E28 5-series drawing is mislabeled as an "E30", as I mentioned before. The Nissan 240Z is labeled as a "240ZG", though it lacks the long G-nose. The Ferrari 599 drawing (just labeled as "Ferrari S.P.A") says it's patented in 1994, but the 599 wouldn't come out until the mid-2000's. In 1994 they weren't even making the 599's predecessor, the 550 Maranello. The DeLorean drawing says "patented May 20, 1986", when the car was in production from 1981 to 1983, and the concept car has been around since the 70's. The FD RX7 says "patented in 1993" - that's 2 years after production began. The drawing labeled "1972 Charger" looks more like a Challenger - maybe some muscle car people can weigh in on what it is. The Ferrari F40 was produced since 1987, but was patented in 1990? I'm not familiar with the engine and motorcycle drawings, but given all the inaccuracies with the cars I have no reason to trust any of these. This slap-dash approach is completely antithetical to the whole idea of these patent prints, which should have some level of precision and credibility. Coming up next: a Veyron print labeled "Lambo."
