When Ferrari begins to make EV, we will know gasoline demand have been decimated, but it's an existential question for exotic supercar manufacturer with a long lineage & tradition that plays so much in to their brand.
Ferrari have stated that they will never make a fully EV vehicle. I'm not sure what Enzo Ferrari would think.
I would be very interested to know what an EV supercar will look like I expect something like sub two second range with instant torque and lightweight composite material.
I get giddy thinking about the torque to weight ratio of such vehicles.
I would like a future where I can download the plans for a super-car engine, like Ferrari/Lambo/Porsche/Etc where I can have my 3D printer print me an engine at whatever scale I want and put it into my go-kart...
Well, all I can say is if these gasoline car companies - many of whom have actually experimented with EVs - don't follow through, they're going to learn the lesson of Kodak.
well they make roughly 62k from each margin. As soon as they begin to see the ROI from EV R&D (assuming in the future they do) which increases that margin, either by cutting costs associated with assembling a combustion engine and all the relevant components like the transmission, gearing, etc OR producing an engine that absolutely kills the biggest and baddest V12 engine. then it's not far fetched to say Ferrari might begin to steer towards making EV "cool".
La Ferrari's use of electric motor on top of the V12 may just be the beginning. It doesn't make sense for Ferrari to be "slow" which eventually will be the case when EV's instant torque + new lightweight materials + less traditional components adding weight.
It might be that the baseline EV model from Ferrari will be at the track spec cars like the Scuderia, Speciale series but with all of the ameneties and technological innovation that you find on a Tesla, which shows a whole different demand for cars that excel on the technological front.
That might also win Ferrari more customers, people who thought Ferraris were "uncomfortable" or "I just want from A to B while my car drives me home" etc.
I think the idea here is that Ferrari increases desire for cars of whatever engine type Ferrari is making.
If Ferrari started making an all-electric super car and proclaiming it was better in every way than their fuel burning vehicles this would help sway opinion.
