Who wants a hybrid or EV Ferrari??

I'll go one further. I'm not interested in any Ferrari that doesn't have 3 pedals!

Electric or hybrid Ferrari???? What a joke. They are out of their mind. Now what really is so desirable about that?? Don’t think there is any legitimate reason why you’d prefer that. Gas consumption? Please its a supercar or at least is supposed to be but I question it of late. V6 hypercars from them oh right that’s what they are doing for a vision. It’s so painful to see the company go this way.

 

The stock price is down 15% today, it sw... it may be time to re-assess the growth strategy, I think they have got complacent and taken it too far with electrification.

Electric cars are the future for commuter transportation not enthusiast... its like what Horse riding became when the car was invented.

But what do I know

Elettrica's plans were unveiled at 10:30 a.m. CET, with the global Ferrari 2030 financial target announced around 12:00 p.m. CET. At what time did the share price fall?
Read the financial reports published yesterday and today, not what your neighbor says... RACE fell not because of electric vehicles, but because the market expected more ambitious results for 2030. The share price remains extremely high and will soon rebound... This has nothing to do with electric vehicles!

 

Yep. Pretty much every month, the market report in Panorama magazine talks about more failures in the EV market for them.

 

Here we go again — the “purity cred” flexers are back.

EV? Pfft. Basic. I’ve been mad since before my dad even thought about squinting at my mom. My soul owns a time machine.

See, I’m still seething over the ’40s, when Enzo committed the original sin of selling street cars. Total betrayal of the holy track. I eventually forgave him — until the ’50s, when he sold out again by adding a 2+2. You know, for people with friends. Disgusting.

Then came the ’60s. Ferrari became Fiat. I almost didn’t recover from the trauma. But wait — the ’70s made it worse. A V6 model; Dino? A “cash grab”? I was done. I mean sure, he tried to make it up with a V8, like I'm going to accept that? Jesus only would drive a V12, we all know that.

Then the ’80s came, and the carburetors disappeared. In their place? Fuel injection. Catalytic converters. Turbos. Valeo. Civilization ended there. The horror.

The ’90s? Fake vents. Traction control. Paddle shifters?!?! Gated or die.. “It’s all over, man.” Oh, and four doors? Heresy! Venice?!?!?!? OMG.

By the 2010s, they’d gone public, added AWD, GPFs, hybrids, computers, and — gasp — shooting brakes. Clearly, the soul of Maranello was auctioned off to Wall Street.

And now, in the 2020s, we’ve reached the penultimate boss of outrage — the SUV. Ferrari, WTF?

But just wait — we’re not done. Next up: electric drivetrains, torque vectoring, adaptive suspensions that judge your cornering in real time, autonomous assists, full HUDs, tactile steering, passenger screens, cold air thursters, maybe even drone escorts to film your ego in glorious 4K.

As for me? Only the OG Alfa Romeo — back when Enzo was still signing checks with “Ferrari-ish” is what I will accept.

The rest? Fakeness no matter how much conolly of poltrona frau you wrapped it in.

Yeah, yeah, call me a whiner clutching my rosary of nostalgia in the garage, gently buffing my relic with a velvet diaper while everyone else actually drives their cars. I don’t need a radio, Bluetooth, CarPlay, or any of that nonsense — I’ve got an engine that yells in Italian and a bay that occasionally smokes just to remind me it’s alive.

I’m fine, really. Totally fine.
Hate folks that chase the future. Nothing wrong with Harley Davidson and Dussenberg, yes, I still rock my Blackberry - so what?

Yes, I practice mental onanism arguing with the ghosts of 1947 (I mean 50s, no I mean the 80s, arugh, nevermind) and losing every round, and boy am I just so mad about it too.

 

My guess is most people on here have not spent any real time driving a hybrid Ferrari. Also, it doesn't have to be one or another, you can love the old cars and appreciate the new cars at the same time. You can think the old cars are better or cooler or have more soul (and you're probably right) but the new cars are a ton of fun too.

 

I can easily top that ^^.

I have no interest in ANY VEHICLE, including Ferrari, that doesn’t have carburetor(s) or points & condenser ignition.

There’s thread about Ferrari having lost its luster and AFAIC, they haven’t manufactured any innovative road cars in past 20-30 years.
I mean just look at their new offerings during that timeframe and you’ll see most are/were way behind others, i.e. Roma style cars were done by A-M & Jaguar over a decade earlier, Ferrari is decades behind every other manufacturer offering SUV’s, look at styling of McL. (and others) compared to Ferraris equivalents introduced later, etc, etc, etc…

 

Reading financial reports and overview the stock decline was based on expectations for guidance not EV noise from the F Reddit crowd.

No issue with hybrid as it can still yield loud exhausts, but EV only good luck.
