Ferrari Future Roadmap - Unveiling 5 Year Plan In Early 2018

Sorry you are right… was probably a too long day.

Anyway, I think the assumption that younger “Ferrari fans” want to see a full electric concept is a little far-fetched. You do not become a Ferrari fan out of nothing. IMO those people have e really deep passion for cars and they appreciate the history behind the brand which is for most parts linked to racing.

What I can see around me is that people who are fascinated by all that electric car hype are people who are not so much into cars. That on the other hand has little to nothing to do with age.

I also think Ferrari should participate in Formula E. It’s not because I think it’s a cool thing but I want them to stay on top with their technological capabilities. Maybe for that purpose it might be enough just to be the technology provider for a Maserati branded Formula E Team.

 

Unfortunately I can't agree with you on that one

When I think of Ferrari the first three words that come to mind is beauty, passion and soul. And to me there is nothing more soulless and passionless than an all electric vehicle.

Im all for hybrids as they offer the best of both worlds, however EV's (even a Ferrari one) would not do much for me.

 

Another aspect to consider about Ferrari's plan for the future: the price of their highest-end offering. A LaFerrari successor will likely be priced at above $1 million, and will run into stiff competition from new and established players: Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and Mr. Glickenhaus' SCG003. The market is crowded. As much as exotic car fans like myself would love to see Ferrari's new "ultimate" car (and the ensuing automotive competitions in the media), Ferrari may not make the ultimate profits that they want from such a vehicle.

 

there were rumors about a ulmate ferrari ( simply refered as "other version of laferrari"). do not know what happened to its fate. it is bad news (for fans) if they axed that project.

Production increase planned. How will this effect late model used car prices? I think it's risky.

I miss Montezemolo . . . .

any updates on the roadmap? early 2018 has come and gone.

 

Montezemolo increased the production to 7000+ after claiming it will never exceed 4000...
The real question is, what production level the market is able to sustain.
As far as used car prices go, before the 2014-2015 speculative bump, used Ferrari used to drop a lot.
The current trend is only to go back to usual business, which is great for second-hand car buyers (I may revert to that condition )

 

Don’t think that has ever been a real thing

Ferrari will launch 15 new models by 2022. That's about 4 models per year for the next 4 years.

So does McLaren make too many models still?

 

I don't like the name for the SUV-Purosangue. Reminds me too much of Purgatory!

 

It's literally "Pureblood." Not sure it's appropriate for what is essentially a crossover. A pureblood Ferrari will always be a front engine V12 to me, not a hybrid V8.

 

That is the literal translation but it is also used in the context of a thoroughbred (such as a horse) which is probably what they were thinking .

 

That is the absolute worst possible name they could give their SUV/FUV (whatever acronym their marketing team gives it). Given their heritage and DNA it is deeply insulting to anyone who even knows one iota about their origins. "Impostore" would be more appropriate.

 

I’m willing to bet we still get “sticky buttons” in 2022 models too. I can’t wait

 

As someone pointed out in another thread, thoroughbred and hybrid are opposites.

 

Very true. May be they will eventually name it ThoroughHybrid.
