    I may be old-fashioned, but somehow I can't imagine a Ferrari without a screaming V12.
    Electric era upset me a bit.

    Well, that disguised decoy car sure has set the bar low for the prancing horse!

    Looks like it is going to be another mundane typical boring run of the mill SUV to me!

    It looks about the same size as a Porsche Macan, which may make sense as they want to cover the CUV market versus the full size SUVs of theirs and others. Not that I’m in love with supercar companies making these. I have a good number of Aston and Lamborghini SUVs in the neighborhood, they’re pretty and sound cool, but my Macan ain’t that dissimilar in performance and quality for 1/3 the price IMHO.

    Let's see how sales of this ugly EV Ferrari will be.

    In my personal opinion I think Ferrari has no advantge over Tesla, BYD, Porsche and the other China cars in the electric engines, so would the customer pay five times an electric Ferrari? I'm curious to see what will happen: as said I'm too old to appreciate all this and so the future is no more anything I can predict even a bit

    Ciao

    P.S. BYD Yangwang U9 is already for sale: it's a supercar with 1300 HP and costs 215 K euro in China market

    Totally agree. As if fake engine sounds are going to change anything.

    Europe is having a bath of reality as it sees that it is not competitive in EVs and that Chinese manufacturers already hold 11 percent of the market. At a time when e-fuels are so promising and the ICE 2035 ban deadline will certainly be postponed to save the European automotive industry, the fundamentalist utopia that we would all have to drive an electric car seems to be disappearing.
    For me, an electric Ferrari never made any sense as it is something completely unnatural that can only distort the brand. In this new context it makes even less sense.

    We Europeans are fuc@ed, Germany imposed Europe the New mandatory electric cars to force all of us to buy a new car and so they thought they would have made a ton of money selling us millions of their battery cars. They were completely stupid and idiots, they throw away the unbelievable Bosch technology advantage and patents they have in the diesel engines. Now they learned what we already all knew: a battery car is like a big smartphone with four wheels: there aren't anymore European smartphone manufacturers they all come from China, Korea and United States. This why it's almost all a software and battery matter: we don't have lithium nor we are software or big litium battery producers. That's the reason why battery China cars are by far better -and less expensive- than German ones. They fu@ked themselves, stupid idiots. I hope this won't affect Ferrari and others Italian supercar makers

    That one should not be called a ferrari. It should be called Elkann E-1 instead. It looks like a "soccer" mom's MPV lol

    #1. The Ferrari advantage *should* be weight savings technology. That is the true Achilles heel and barrier for Supercars / Hypercars. EV weighs TOO much. Hybrid is nearly perfect jack of all trades i.e. 296, SF90, Laf


    #2. BYD Yangwang is terrible for a sports car/ supercar / hypercar.

    https://fastestlaps.com/tracks/shanghai-international-circuit

    lol performs 2 secs faster than an Audi Q8 RS?

    EV slower in a straight line than a RWD Hybrid Ferrari?


    Might be a great Super GT car depending on how comfortable and roomy the car is?

    But absolutely not for anything else.


    #3. back to WEIGHT WEIGHT WEIGHT.

    Ultra-lightweight, ultra-high performance battery and motor technologies.

    Being a porky car takes half the fun out of driving one unless you are looking for a sporty GT.

    Tesla Model S plaid is tremendously fun until you have to turn the wheel or use the brakes (non-track pack).

    If Ferrari can be the first to solve those types of problems in an EV then they win.

    It’s not actually going to look like that. That mule shape is a red herring and it’s just testing powertrain equipment.

    It’s actually going to look more like a Ferrari version of the Lamborghini Lanzador … which isn’t a bad thing.
