Ferrari CEO Luca De Montezemolo angrily left the company this week. In the wake of that news, super-enthusiast, collector, and now boutique automaker James Glickenhaus took to Facebook with his ideas for how Ferrari could thrive and improve itself.

Here's what Jim said he'd do if he were were the boss at Maranello:

I'd be impressed if demand existed for 2000 LaFerraris, but if it did, I'd build them. That would be $2 billion to the bottom line. I think demand is about 700–800 cars. If I were CEO, I'd build the LaFerrari to demand.

Can the FF, and fix the California's ugly butt.

Build an F12 Spyder and do a facelift to make it curvier. Keep the coupe.

Make the twin-turbo 458 replacement look like SCG 003 (LMP as GT) and race the piss out of it—factory and customer cars in GT.

Make and race an LMP1 car.

Make LMP2 cars that customers could race. Have a factory effort at Daytona and Sebring.

Do my best with F1, but spend a lot less, insist that the technology has relevance to road cars, and find drivers with more personality.

Welcome fans into Ferrari's world, even if they only aspire to but can't afford one yet. No more $2K rubber-chicken hospitality tents.

No more $3K cupholders.

Make parts, as Mercedes-Benz does, for EVERY Ferrari ever made.

Open factory tours to non-owners.

Make infotainment systems MUCH more user-friendly.

Get rid of 50 badges and prancing horses per car.

Bring Pininfarina into the Ferrari tent.

I could go on, but in the meantime, I remain the humble CEO of a much smaller car company that so far has one sale, one sale pending, and a number kicking the tires.

The dream is to finish first overall at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in 2015 and sell enough cars to homologate and be able to race at Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring as well.
