When did that occur? From what I can find, "never occurred": https://yasa.com/news/message-from-ceo/ 22 July 2021 Operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, with our own brand, team and facilities, YASA will help to develop pioneering best-in-class electric drive innovations to give Mercedes-Benz exceptional performance in a new electric era. https://yasa.com/press/ There is absolutely no reference to 'yasa' on tesla.com... And, Ferrari first used Yasa in the SF90, before MB bought them... https://yasa.com/applications/ferrari-sf90-stradale/
Will Ferrari design and make their own electric motors? This is the reason why Ferrari should have had a presence in Formula E. But Ferrari has the deepest pockets to hire the talent to create the most advanced high performance electric motors. They have enough time but need to start now
EVs will be a thing of the past soon. hydrogen, new Bio and other fuels and technology are being developed at a high rate now. Most of auto industry want EVs gone asap
Love that blue! The GTS must be even more of a rocket, how have you evaded multiple speeding tickets?
For a heavy Luxury/Sports car its surprisingly a lot a fun to drive more engaging than I was expecting it to be
‘Anyone know the advantage of s supercharger over the small twin turbos? Less turbo lag ? Better fuel economy? Or greater reliability? Maybe the turbos have heat related wear issues which we aren’t aware of at the moment?
The article talks about better packaging and imoroved plumbing that allows for better airflow. Superchargers don't suffer from turbo lag since you don't need to wait for the exhaust pressure to spool up a turbine. I believe they're typically bad for fuel economy, however, since they draw power from the engine. I'm not certain about that though.

But there current V12 is end of line and there not designing a new one so that does nothing for us. well the 12C Com will have 10 - 20 and then its over
Certain markets will attempt to close the window for ICE Of course if their societies determine that this plan is too strict and impractical then they will change their regulations. Or if enough money is involved this can also sway the political systems
Superchargers do draw power from the engine with a belt shaft ir chain with increasing parasitic losses as you climb the rev range so less peak power gain compared to conventional turbine turbo but there is no lag and the car sounds better than conventional turbochargers. Electric turbochargers will solve all those issues and Porsche with its new hybrid engine /electric turbocharger that runs at high voltage seems to have done exactly that- no parasitic losses/no lag/great sound and better mileage.

Apparently it’ll cost more than $500k. I’m interested to see what form factor they come up with, is it a 2 seater cab forward design? 4 seater GT to replace the Lusso? And where will it be positioned in the line-up. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ferraris-first-electric-car-cost-over-500000-source-says-2024-06-19/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
very expensive imo considering the amount of electric cars which also have 1000hp which are availible at a fraction of the price, if it had 2000hp then fine....
anyone else notice all the recent "foundation" marketing Ferrari is doing to "convince" everyone it will "sound great"? very suspicious it will not 'sound great', otherwise, give us a sound clip rather than all this early promoting.... example: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/upcoming-ferrari-electric-vehicle-will-sound-authentic-235267.html
People stating electrics motors sounds good are just on drugs I guess ! Nobody loving cars could believe this fable..
I’m sorry but four electric motors do not cost anywhere near a V12 unless you hire union Italian artisans to hand wind and build them from scratch and the batteries are standard unless Ferrari builds them from the lithium mines. As for the chassis and body- well according to Enzo you buy the engine and the rest of the car is free. So that no longer applies here. Ferrari will use standard motors and batteries marked with the Ferrari logo and voila- $160k batteries and $50k per motor and $140K for the rest of the car. 1800hp EV is cheap to get now and will get even cheaper- except for Ferrari magic carpet cars… Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
