Why Ferrari Isn’t Giving Up The Combustion Engine – SlashGear

In a BBC interview, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna said the good ol’ internal combustion engine is “an essential part of the company’s heritage,” with all Ferrari vehicles having that soulful sound from its high-strung, gas-powered V8 and V12 engines. “It is the client who must choose if they want an ICE, a hybrid, or an electric car,” said Vigna. “I don’t want to be arrogant and impose a choice on our client.”

Ferrari recently unveiled its newest road-legal hybrid supercars, the first under the automaker’s racing-oriented XX program: the SF90 XX Stradale coupe and spider. Equipped with a twin-turbocharged gasoline-fed V8 engine, three electric motors, and a 7.9 kWh plug-in hybrid battery, the newest Ferrari XX models have 1,015 horsepower, can go from zero to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds, and travel for 15 miles in EV mode.

And despite rumors that the Daytona SP3 could be the last V12-powered Ferrari, the automaker is hedging its bets on synthetic e-fuel and hybrid technology to preserve its lineage amidst the electrified era.
