Many thanks to Stephan Winkelmann for the interesting insights of Lamborghini´s electrification outlook: => go as long as possible hybrid on super sports cars (e.g. "Revuelto" and "Huracan") even beyond 2035 if possible => first BEV to come for daily usable cars like premium SUV "URUS" https://lnkd.in/egYwj9YV

Formula 1 drivers aren't the only enthusiasts drawn to the powerful sounds of a roaring V-8 engine. Ferrari customers also cherish the distinct engine roar so much that the Italian automaker is unwavering in replicating it for their upcoming electric vehicle (EV). Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna emphasized that the essence of luxury cars, particularly Ferrari's, lies in the emotional experience they deliver to clients, unlike the functional approach of other EVs commonly seen on the roads. While electric vehicles are typically quiet due to the absence of combustion, Ferrari is innovatively incorporating its traditional engine sounds using advanced audio technology. They have even patented an amplification system designed to enhance the sound of at least one electric motor in the car, redirecting it to the rear of the vehicle. Production of Ferrari's first electric supercar is slated to commence in 2025. The anticipation surrounding Ferrari's shift to EV production is palpable. In a 2022 investor presentation, the company announced a substantial $4.6 billion investment in electric alternatives, aiming for hybrid and fully electric vehicles to constitute 60% of their vehicle lineup by 2026, with an expected revenue of $2.9 billion that year. ' However, Ferrari faces fierce competition in the EV market, notably from BYD, which surpassed Tesla as the world's leading EV manufacturer in the final quarter of 2023. BYD recently launched a $233,450 EV supercar aimed at challenging Ferrari and Lamborghini's dominance in the high-performance EV segment. #Ferrari #EV #Iconic #Sound

Ferrari’s 200-million-euro investment of a “e-building”, it is an intent to get into EV era with climate-friendly transport. However, the market has instead been squeezed by costly investments and slowing global demand with constrains in production (litium), EV range, and short charging infraestructure. As the E.V.

It was only a decade ago that #Ferrari was vehemently against launching an #electriccar, but the automaker known for its loud gas engines has been working on one for several years and plans to reveal it in late 2025. It is expected be priced at the high end of Ferrari's pricing spectrum, with a source revealing to #Reuters that the starting price will be 500,000 euros (approximately $535,000). That will make it more expensive than the SF90 Stradale supercar and Purosangue SUV, which are Ferrari's priciest non-limited-production models. It will also make it considerably more expensive than the average transaction price for a Ferrari, which according to Reuters was about 350,000 euros in the first quarter of 2024, including options. If accurate, it means Ferrari won't rely on sharp pricing to entice buyers to give up the emotional sound of its gas engines. Instead it may offer advanced technology like axial-flux motors, in-wheel motors, and sound generators. Ferrari hasn't said what form the car will take, and there are rumors it may be something closer to the Purosangue than one of the automaker's traditional supercar models. According to Reuters' source, Ferrari has a second electric car already in development, albeit still at an early stage. Ferrari will build its electric cars at a new plant referred to as the “e-building” by CEO Benedetto Vigna. Located adjacent to the current plant at the automaker's Maranello headquarters, the new plant is expected to come online this week, initially to build some gas models in addition to electric motors, inverters, and batteries for plug-in hybrid powertrains. Volume production of EVs isn't expected to start at the site until early 2026. Similar to its approach with gas powertrains, Ferrari intends to develop its own electric motors, inverters, and batteries, aiming for industry-leading weight and power density. The automaker will work with partners in some areas, one of which is leading battery supplier SK On. The two already have a deal for the supply of batteries going in Ferrari's existing plug-in hybrid models, and in March they announced plans to explore new possibilities in the area of battery cell technology.

The future of the automotive industry will inevitably be to a large extent electric. Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., explains how the engineers in Sant’Agata Bolognese are facing the future: - no real alternative to fully electric cars for achieving zero emissions - complex global legislation situation - first fully electric Lamborghinis foreseen for the end of the decade - but: super sports cars will be hybrid and aim at extending the lifetime of internal combustion engines for as long as possible - synthetic fuels as opportunity to reduce carbon emissions in specific contexts #Lamborghini #automotive #supercars #electrification Read the full article on NewsBytes ⬇️
