The luxury car maker has committed to produce an EV, but not to go all-EV.
Ferrari knows the things that make cars fun to drive, says the company’s global marketing chief, Enrico Galliera, and electricity thus far can’t supply all of them., has committed itself to selling a full EV by 2025.“We need to do it,” says Galliera, who points out the company has built a new wing at itsto develop its own electric technology. But what about those potential shortcomings?
He cites the patented active suspension fitted to the Purosangue, a vehicle fitted with so much luxury equipment it has a very un-Ferrari heft of nearly 2.2 tonnes. Although no outsiders have yet evaluated it, the company claims it can corner like a true sports car. The other two, Galliera says, are engine sound and “what we call drivability, or the gearbox effect”. A traditional V8 or V12 roar – a Ferrari hallmark – is absent from an electric car, and a gearbox is unnecessary, as an EV produces its torque from zero revs. Although modern Ferraris have an automated “twin clutch” gearbox, the cars still produce the traditional staggered acceleration, with a thump in the back with each change.
