According to a recent report by The Daily Telegraph in the UK, Ferrari has sold more hybrid cars than petrol-powered models for the first time in its history.
The Italian automaker sold 51% of its cars with battery packs between July and September 2023, which is a significant milestone for the industry.
The report also mentions that Ferrari is the first major sports car manufacturer to cross this threshold, with rivals like Maserati and Aston Martin focusing on the shift to pure electric.
This shift towards hybrid cars is a positive step towards achieving net zero emissions. Hybrid cars use a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
They are also more fuel-efficient than traditional petrol-powered cars, which makes them a popular choice among environmentally conscious consumers.
It’s worth noting that Ferrari is preparing to launch its first electric vehicle and plans to have a pure electric model on sale by 20252.
The company has been working on technology to replicate the roar of a petrol engine in a quieter battery-powered car, as it believes noise is a key appeal when driving a sports car.
