All-Electric Ferrari Announced for 2025!

100 pct.

 

I wonder if you’ll have to pull the motors and change the brushes every 3 years?

 

Not at the power front, but with electric motors you can add multiple motors, thus having a huge power output. The problems of soulless delivery*, recharging time and range still remain though.

*It was a Jaguar engineer, if I am not mistaken, who said that all electric motors feel the same (i.e. there is not a distinctive character as with ICE), thus new Jags will have to make a difference in other areas against their competitors, such as steering feel and nimbleness.

 

Are you really a Ferrari technician? Their BMEP, thermal efficiency and specific output are top notch. If anything, Ferrari builds the best engines in the world, even if the rest of the car is not at that level.

That's incorrect. It takes millions of years for oil to be formulated. If you keep extracting more than the earth can make, you will run out of it. Also, it is a matter of cost. The harder it gets to reach the more remote deposits, the less viable it becomes. That said, there is still plenty of oil about.

 

I once read a great book on investing. In it, the author mentioned oil stocks, and the fact that there was always talk about running out of oil, yet they always seem to find more. That book was written in the 1920s.

Technology, technology, technology.

 

Very interesting, indeed. One hundred years afterwards though, the consumption is 1000 times that of 1920s, perhaps even more. According to the experts we still have (usable) oil for the next 50 years, or so.

 

Their thermal efficiency is not top notch at all. Look at the fuel consumption numbers compared to other v8's. It's actually very poor. Ferrari engines are very strong but very dated up until the 458. But even it is a fuel sucking elephant.

Oil deposits are continually being discovered. One of the largest is sitting under an international airport in Britain. Could sustain the planet for 50 years on it's own. Oil is not in short supply it never will be.

 

If you have such a low opinion of Ferrari engines then you will be horrified at Ferrari motors. The ICE engine turns exploding dead dinosaurs into screaming forward motion. Electric motors are silent wires.

 

When you compare consumption, you have have to take into account BMEP, RPM limit and specific output as well. I am sceptical of what you say, especially if you are an engineer...

 

Sorry to intervene, but this is a common misconception. Dead plankton in reality.

 

Been lied to all these years! Sorry for spreading.

 

Hmmm

Abiotic actually

You got it. Petroleum is the result of decayed plant material, not animals

 

So here is some perspective as a CA resident owning a Tesla. We use to own 2 but I sold mine as I found it an absolute bore to drive.

Our electric bill went from $150ish a month to $1,100 a month.

Sold mine and wife still has hers. In the winter our electric bill should be $100ish, it’s $623.65. More than 5x what is normal.

So go buy a Camry and put F1 sound on in your radio. It doesn’t matter right?

 

How much are you driving? That doesn’t seem normal at all.

 

A good reason for an Electric Ferrari is that soon there will be places around the world were only electric cars will be allowed like city centers and such
So it makes perfect sense to at least have one product offering that accommodates that requirement

 

I wonder if they will try to make it a hypercar, a supercar, or midrange?

 

I hope you're right!

 

no the design should be ferrari.

 

@INRange for the win!!!

 

Not really...

Actually, "complete car bans" are what is developing...method of propulsion irrelevant, none allowed...

As a Purist, I was not too fond of faux elements, although I understand a hierarchy.

Most youngsters I talk to prefer this sound; Ferrari may amplify it purposely.


Of course, some kids that grow up visiting racecourses or are petrol heads will poop the Star Wars sound vs. Mad Max; it's essentially a generational thing, I argue.

Let's not kid ourselves, though; the people that enjoy a loud exhaust passing by their Sunday morning stroll are few and far between. The overwhelming majority of the public eschews the volume and pitch that I particularly enjoy. Hence I never do high revs in highly populated areas outside tracks.

Tron/Star Trek sound you hear above will be adopted because it's more pleasing to the masses in tone and volume. Not saying it's right or wrong, simply my prognostication.
