Ferrari Chairman John Elkann stated that by 2030, electric and hybrid cars should account for 80% of Ferrari’s sales. As the business presented its new business strategy, Ferrari declared, “Everything we do will always focus on being authentically Ferrari. The use of electricity “will enable us to design even more distinctive cars.”
Ferrari normally manufactures the majority of the parts that go into its cars, but CEO Benedetto Vigna announced that in order to save development costs, the company will work with more vendors on non-essential components like operating systems. According to Autoblog, the least costly Ferrari is currently retailing for $219,282. There is no information on whether shipping fees are included in that sum. Ferrari will introduce its first electric model in 2025 as one of 15 new cars between 2023 and 2026, according to Vigna.
Ferrari projects that 5% of sales in 2025 will be made up of entirely electric vehicles, and 40% in 2030. Hybrid vehicle sales should increase from 20% in 2021 to 55% in 2025 before declining to 40% in 2030. In a new assembly line at its facility in Maranello, Italy, Ferrari, according to Vigna, would build its own electric motors, inverters, and battery modules while outsourcing non-essential components.
Vigna warned investors that he would be silly to create a Ferrari operating system. You must concentrate on the tasks for which you are best suited. Some people might believe that operating systems are quite significant to today’s car consumers. No Ferrari for you if you belong to that group!
Ferrari claims to be conducting research on high energy density solid-state batteries with four partners in Europe and Asia. By 2026, it will have spent EUR4.4 billion on electrifying its new vehicles.
Ferrari’s financial projections, according to Kepler Cheuvreux analyst Thomas Besson, conveyed a “clear bullish signal,” but he highlighted that officials avoided discussing production quantities. “But the path is obvious. Electricity is needed, but it won’t alter the nature of the business or its goods.”

According to Ferrari, electrified vehicles will be “much more distinctive”
As the company presented its new business strategy, chairman John Elkann declared, “Everything we do will always focus on being authentically Ferrari.” The use of electricity “will enable us to design even more distinctive cars.”
Ferrari will employ suppliers for non-essential parts or software, like an operating system, to decrease costs, according to CEO Benedetto Vigna.
Like its competitors, Ferrari gives wealthy buyers an emotive experience centered on the throaty growl of its potent engines. Ferrari needs to make sure its high-net-worth clients and investors are on board as it transitions to electric.
The Italian automaker, whose vehicles start at about 210,000 euros ($219,282.00), may find it difficult to stand out in the crowd of EVs that are all expected to accelerate swiftly.
Meanwhile, Ferrari will present its first-ever sport utility vehicle in September, powered by its gas-guzzling signature 12-cylinder engine.
Ferrari will introduce its first electric model in 2025 as one of 15 new cars between 2023 and 2026, according to Vigna.
Ferrari projects that 5% of sales in 2025 will be made up of entirely electric vehicles, and 40% in 2030. Hybrid vehicle sales should increase from 20% in 2021 to 55% in 2025 before declining to 40% in 2030.
In a new assembly line at its facility in Maranello, Italy, Ferrari, according to Vigna, would build its own electric motors, inverters, and battery modules while outsourcing non-essential components.
Ferrari will not create an operating system for EVs in order to save money. Other automakers, like as Tesla (TSLA.O) and Mercedes (MBGn.DE), contend that proprietary operating systems are essential for running automobiles, controlling wireless upgrades, and gathering information on driver preferences and behaviors.
Vigna warned investors that he would be silly to create a Ferrari operating system. You must concentrate on the tasks for which you are best suited.
Ferrari is researching the next generation of high energy density solid state batteries with four partners in Europe and Asia.
By 2026, Ferrari estimates it will invest 4.4 billion euros while generating core earnings of 2.5–2.7 billion euros. The adjusted core earnings forecast for Ferrari for 2022 is 1.65-1.70 billion euros.
Between 2022 and 2026, the automaker anticipates cumulative free cash flow between 4.6 and 4.9 billion euros.
Ferrari’s financial projections, according to Kepler Cheuvreux analyst Thomas Besson, conveyed a “clear bullish signal,” but he highlighted that officials avoided discussing production quantities.
Besson penned, “But the direction is clear. “Electrification is necessary, but it won’t alter the company’s or its goods’ DNA.”
Does Ferrari have an electric model?
Ferrari said today at its annual investor conference that it will produce its first electric (EV) sportscar by 2025.
It also acknowledged that, by 2030, 80% of all vehicles produced will be electric, replacing the usual screaming thunder of its supercars, with 40% of all vehicles produced being pure EVs.
Despite the announcement that the venerable Italian supercar manufacturer intends to become carbon neutral by 2030, shares of Ferrari N.V. fell 0.7% today.
A model flood is coming, according to Ferrari’s strategic 2022-2026 business strategy, which was unveiled today in Maranello. 15 new models are scheduled to be introduced over the next four years, beginning with the Purosangue hybrid SUV in September of this year.
Will McLaren switch to all-electric cars?
In late 2020, McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt made it clear that his business had no interest in producing SUVs, citing the fact that the brand was still too young to have a meaningful impact on the sector. His belief was that McLaren needed to further solidify its position as a manufacturer of sports and supercars before transitioning to SUVs, but a recent rumor would strongly contradict that opinion.
According to Autocar, one is being created but won’t be available until about 2030. When it does make its appearance, it will be the only tall model offered by the manufacturer and a BEV-only vehicle. Even if McLaren is known for producing a number of frequently very different variants based on the same fundamental car, even if that is the case, expect a variety of power outputs and profiles.
Unnamed sources told the UK tabloid that this model will cost more than $420,000 (EUR402,000) and go by the name Aeron, not much else.
There isn’t much information available at this time, but McLaren is committed to electrification. The company produced the Extreme E electric off-roader (pictured), and it has also released a number of vehicles with electrified drivetrains, the most recent of which is the plug-in hybrid supercar Artura. The latter also sees the introduction of a hybrid-only platform that the producer will employ for all of its models until the 2030s; starting in 2026, all McLarens will be hybrids.
McLaren claims that while it could begin developing an electric-only vehicle at any time, it is delaying doing so in order to preserve the company’s distinctive features. In fact, since McLaren hasn’t disclosed intentions to make one of its standard models electric, it’s possible that this speculated electric SUV will be the company’s only EV moving ahead. Porsche has demonstrated that including an SUV in your inventory can significantly boost revenues, and other automakers have successfully followed their lead.
What does Ferrari’s future hold?
Ferrari will introduce 15 new items by 2026 as part of its four-year strategic plan. This is significant for a specialized automaker like Ferrari. The first-ever all-electric vehicle from Ferrari will be one of these fifteen new cars, and it will debut in 2025.
Ferrari’s whole model lineup will be made up of 40% internal combustion engine (ICE) cars and 60% electrified models by the end of 2026. The full-electric and some full-hybrid cars will make up the remaining 60% of electrified automobiles. And that’s not all; by the end of 2030, the percentage of these vehicles will alter, with the complete Ferrari portfolio consisting of 20% ICE models, 40% hybrid models, and 40% fully electric models.
These announcements suggest that Ferrari will not completely abandon pure ICE vehicles by 2030, at least. But at the same time, full-hybrid and all-electric cars will continue to draw more attention. Similar to the current full hybrid models like the SF90 and 296 GTB, Ferrari’s racing division will contribute technology to the forthcoming hybrid vehicles.
Supercars will they be electric?
Ferrari says that 40% of its range will be battery-powered by the end of the decade and plans to introduce its first fully electric vehicle in 2025. According to Lamborghini, an electric variant will be available “this decade.”
The Ferrari 296 GTB is electric, right?
You may have spotted the resemblance and are now considering whether the GTB will take the place of the F8 or even the Dino. Nope! The 296 GTB is too innovative to be overshadowed by any Ferrari model, past or present. As you’ll soon discover, the GTB differs significantly from the F8 Tributo despite their – admittedly – uncanny similarity in terms of features and craftsmanship.
Meet the all-new Ferrari 296 GTB. The Ferrari 296 GTB is a plug-in hybrid sports car that will go on sale in 2022. It was introduced in June 2021 and is based on the Type FI71 Ferrari platform. It would be the brand’s first-ever V6 plug-in hybrid supercar to travel on public roads. In terms of EV supercars, we would argue that the Lamborghini Terzo Millennio is the ultimate game-changer, but until the second generation of the Terzo Millennio arrives in 2030, revealing the brand-new Ferrari V6 hybrid is as game-changing as it gets right now.
The 2.9L displacement and the 6-cylinder longitudinal rear, mid-mounted engine are indicated by the digits in the name. Do you recognize that? Of course, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. The Italian term for grand touring little saloon is Gran Turismo Berlinetta, or simply GTB. In the 1950s, the Berlinetta emblem was exclusively used on the best rear-mid-engine 2-seater Ferraris. The 296 GTB is reviving the Berlinetta tradition in the present. Let’s start now.
How much is the Ferrari electric?
In order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, Ferrari revealed details of its plan to introduce its first electric vehicle by 2025.
Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari, said at the company’s Capital Markets Day from its Maranello, Italy, headquarters on Thursday that the battery-electric supercar will serve as a benchmark for the company’s future electric vehicles.
By 2026, the Italian luxury automaker stated, hybrid and all-electric cars will account for 60% of its sales. By the end of the decade, it anticipates that percentage to reach 80%.
Ferrari currently offers four hybrid vehicles. 2019 saw the unveiling of the first nameplate, the 1,000-horsepower, $513,000 SF90 Stradale plug-in hybrid, which drew on the company’s background in Formula 1 racing.
Maranello will produce the electric motors and battery modules for its next EVs.
In its ultra-rarefied niche, Ferrari is among the last to introduce an EV. By the end of the decade, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and McLaren intend to produce only electric vehicles.
Maintaining their brand’s distinctiveness while transitioning from a history of large combustion engines to battery packs is an issue that they all encounter. How will they entice consumers? No, range won’t be the case. Most ultra-luxury brands will most likely emphasize the EV’s greater acceleration and environmental prowess in their marketing messages.
According to Ferrari, its own electric vehicle will be distinctive for its size, sound, engine power density, and emotional impact. The 75-year-old company declared that it would continue to uphold its long-standing commitment to exclusivity.
Vigna stated on Thursday, “At Ferrari we always provide one car fewer than the market demands. I can guarantee that nothing will ever alter this.
Strategic agreements that grant access to technologies without adversely affecting Ferrari’s bottom line are how the firm intends to build its EVs. Low-volume automakers like Ferrari find it difficult to justify spending the $1 billion to $2 billion necessary to create a battery-electric model from scratch due to the difficult economics of manufacturing an EV.
Tens of billions of dollars are being invested by major automakers to strengthen their battery-electric portfolios, including Ford and Volkswagen. A number of EV manufacturers that went public by merging with SPACs but haven’t yet made any money are having trouble securing funding in the meantime.
After attempting to develop a commercial EV, Electric Last Mile Solutions revealed on Monday that the company is declaring bankruptcy. As a follow-up to its eagerly anticipated FF 91 sports vehicle, Faraday Future has also issued a warning that it does not currently have enough funds to manufacture the mass-market sedan.
Additionally, Ferrari said on Thursday that its V12-powered Purosangue, the company’s first SUV, will be unveiled in September. Early in the following year, the SUV is anticipated to hit the market, with a starting price of about $300,000.
Due to increased customer demand and large margins, profitability in the SUV market is all but guaranteed. The Lamborghini Urus SUV, the Purosangue’s main rival, quickly overtook it as the brand’s best-selling vehicle. 60% of the portfolio of Maserati, the Ferrari sibling brand owned by Stellantis, is made up of the company’s first-ever SUV.
Ferrari asserted that it would limit Purosangue sales to under 20% of overall sales.
