    There is a lot of concern around the upcoming Ferrari EV for 3 reasons:

    1. It won’t have the visceral sound of the iconic Ferrari combustion engines
    2. Overall some people view it a a sell-out move that goes against the ethos of the entire company, much similar to people’s concerns about Ferrari making an SUV
    3. Ferrari is scaring the sh*t out of people with this soccer mom minivan mule.

    While I am sometimes critical of things Ferrari does, I am a huge fan of the company.

    My mantra is this: Believe In Ferrari

    They have the ability to make ANYTHING great. And the vast majority of the time, they do.

    How the upcoming Ferrari EV could actually be great:

    1. They make it a crossover that straddles the worlds between the Purosange and the 296. A more car like SUV. Something like the Lamborghini Lanzador concept. Which, by the way, has a dual cockpit dash just like Ferrari’s SUV and clearly the two companies get wind of what each other is doing ahead of the public.

    2. This would make for a tremendous daily driver. A high riding two door raked form factor. Frunk space. Rear Hatch. Can hold brief case, golf bags, groceries or luggage. Great daily driver. Great errand runner. Great for trips too. Versatile and unique looking. And sexy.

    3. More than 1,000 bhp. More like 1,200 bhp. 1,000 pound feet of torque. 350 miles of range or more per charge. 0 to 60 in 2.5 or less. Price it at approximately $450k usd before options.

    4. Truly fully active suspension. Moves it a step on versus Pusosangue. More like the new Porsche Taycan suspension. Can smooth out bumps and potholes nearly completely while also handling and remaining pretty flat in corners.

    5. Yes a large display screen in the center but also more buttons and less haptics on the steering wheel and other often used function inputs.

    6. Bring back satellite navigation so you aren’t totally dependent on a cell phone signal. Even better offer Star Link in the thing if possible at some point.

    7. And here is the ultimate USP … make AI driven swappable sound cartridges that customers can buy and each cartridge will emulate Ferrari model from the past.
    I’ll take my cartridge in 333 SP flavor please.

    For me it would be interesting if they made a very radical sports car, using the advantages of the electric powertrain to make an extreme aero package. Of course it would be in the 2,000 hp range. It should be as small and cramped as possible, to compensate the weight of the batteries. For the same reason the range would be limited: it would be a car for short blasts, not for travelling.

    But I know it´s not going to happen.
