Lasalandra added: “We will invest to make our engines compliant with future regulations. In addition to that we will make sure our engines can perform with alternative fuel, such as e-fuel, being ready if or when this technology should spread to a global scale.”
Ferrari halves EV sales projections for 2030
Ferrari plans to launch four new cars every year until the end of the decade. Of course the major news from the conference was the confirmation that its first EV, the Elettrica, will be arriving next year. The brand has given us a sneak peek of how the Elettrica will deliver the same driving thrills as any other Ferrari.
Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna explained: “We developed Elettrica because we, as a market leader, have the responsibility to show to the world that we can harness any technology to deliver these unique driving thrills.”
But at the same time, Ferrari is now saying that 20% of its line-up will be EVs by the end of decade, which is down from the 40% previously quoted. Alongside the EVs, 40% will be hybrids and the other 40% will be pure-petrol. Earlier this year, reports suggested Ferrari wouldn’t launch a second electric model until at least 2028, due in part to weak demand.
When asked about plans for a second electric Ferrari, Vigna wouldn’t share any kind of timeframe but didn’t rule it out. He simply said: “Electric is a new dimension for us, a new opportunity for us, and we have to continue to develop in that field.”
