Ferrari have reacted to Ford's lawsuit by remaining their 2011 F1 car, the 'F150th Italia'.
Earlier today, it emerged that American car company Ford were suing Ferrari over the right to name their 2011 F1 car, the F150.
Ford, who were seeking unspecified damages and wanted Ferrari to be barred from using the F150 name, filed in a Detroit court earlier this week.
According to Ford, whose F-150 is a top-selling pick-up truck, Ferrari had "misappropriated the F-150 trademark in naming its new racing vehicle the 'F150' in order to capitalise on and profit from the substantial goodwill that Ford has developed in the F-150 trademark."
And although Ferrari have not officially responded, their website changed the name of their 2011 car to 'F150th Italia' in an article published today.
Also the January 25th story regarding the naming of the new car was altered to read the 'F150th Italia'.
