I believe Ferrari's automobiles are a strong example of the continuous curve as they are constantly developing their designs driven by aesthetic influences. Not to say the appearance of a Ferrari is purely aesthetic. Ferrari cars are made to look like they go fast, look as if its aesthetic design makes it go faster, as the perfect functional design may not be as beautiful as Ferrari's are. Therefore I believe the designs behind these cars are due to sensuous impulse. The curves and shapes that make these cars looks so nice, may have some aerodynamic effect which yes may help the car functionally. It is in its aesthetic design that may not be that functional but uses its visual appeal to sell and to look like a car that “looks” like it drives fast and is as good as driving a car that is functionally fast. As seen the Ferrari design has changed over the years, not only how it works but its exterior design. Which shows how visually the Ferrari has changed to stay modern with its time visually to meet its target market and its visual appeal is as, if not more important than its functional values.
