I think that the ownership of the original designs is a distraction. The designer owns them, but the important point is, who has the right to turn those drawings into a car? Only Ferrari can make a Ferrari.

The DNA "record auction" ad has now been removed (others from the same auction haven't) but the synopsis still mentions Ferrari more than once.

On the same site, we have this -

I struggle to understand why anyone might wonder why Ferrari would take steps to stop the use of its name.

The Tribute and DNA products are stunning. They don't need the F word or "250" of "2fifty" to sell them. I also think that there is a difference between what Tribute and DNA set out to achieve. The clue is in the names........
