√Four new Ferrari cars due to launch this year
Italian supercar specialist Ferrari has revealed plans for “four new model launches” this year, as it prepares to roll-out a range of hybrid and electric vehicles.
Ferrari has confirmed plans to launch four new models before the end of this year, as part of 15 new cars due to launch in the next three years.
Announced alongside its financial results for 2022 – which saw it sell a record number of cars, and post record profits – the identities of the four new cars are yet to be confirmed.
However, overseas reports claim one could be the successor to the 812 series of front-engined, V12 ‘grand tourers’, which has been spied testing in Europe in recent months – and it could pair V12 power with hybrid technology.
A convertible version of the front-engined V8 Roma coupe has been seen testing overseas – which would likely replace the Portofino roadster, which beneath the skin is similar to the Roma – while a track-focused version of the SF90 hybrid V8 supercar is also in testing.
Ferrari does not clarify if the “four new model launches” are unveilings of brand-new models, or the start of production or deliveries for cars it has already revealed.
If it is the latter, elsewhere in Ferrari’s financial results it identifies three already-revealed models which are due to commence customer deliveries this year: the 296 GTS hybrid V6 convertible supercar, the roof-less ‘Aperta’ version of the 812 Competizione V12 supercar, and the much-anticipated Purosangue SUV.
First deliveries of the 296 GTS and Purosangue are due to commence in Australia in the second half of this year.
Ferrari has previously confirmed plans to introduce 15 new models by 2026, with 55 per cent of the mix to be hybrids, and five per cent from the company’s first electric car, due in 2025.
Included amongst the new models is slated to be the successor to the LaFerrari hypercar – and following in the wheel tracks of the 288 GTO of 1984, F40 of 1987, F50 of 1995 and Enzo of 2002 – with twin-turbocharged V8 plug-in hybrid power.
By 2030, Ferrari aims for its sales to consist of 40 per cent hybrids, 40 per cent electric cars, and 20 per cent petrol-only models.
