CEO Benedetto Vigna confirmed that the first electric car
will be presented in 2025, with the first deliveries the following year.
Now, just four Ferrari models, or 20% of the range, are
hybrid cars. Its first hybrid model was the limited edition La Ferrari launched
in 2013, capitalizing on Formula 1 technology.
Vigna, a former technology entrepreneur who joined Ferrari
as CEO nine months ago, said the electrification strategy is “highly relevant.”
“Not only it is required by emissions regulations, but most
importantly, we believe we can use the electric engine to enhance the
performance of our cars, as we did already with our hybrid Ferrari,” he said at
an analyst presentation.
As Ferrari expands its model range, the car company based in
the northern Italian city of Maranello said it would unveil the long-awaited
Purosangue utility vehicle in September. Bearing the Italian name for thoroughbred,
the Purosangue will represent no more than 20% of vehicles produced during its
cycle.
In all, Ferrari plans to launch 15 new models from 2023 to
2026, including a new high-performance supercar.
