Exciting news for Ferrari fans! Lewis Hamilton is joining the Formula 1 team in 2025, teaming up with Charles Leclerc. Plus, Charles recently extended his contract, adding to the buzz.
On the road car front, Ferraris had a big week too. They sold 13,663 vehicles last year, up three percent from 2022. But here’s the kicker: demand’s so high that all models are sold out until 2026! Yep, you read that right.
But fear not, Ferrari’s not resting on its laurels. They’ve got three new models lined up for release this year. So, even if you can’t snag one of the current models, there’s still something to look forward to!
Ferrari’s keeping their lips sealed about what’s coming in 2024, but we’ve got some hints. Rumor has it, that the new hypercar, internally dubbed “F250,” might drop the V12 for a plug-in hybrid twin-turbo V6. Spy shots of a prototype suggest big changes are in the works.
They’re planning to roll out 599 coupes, 199 convertibles, and 30 XX models, but we might only see the coupe this year. Production is slated to kick off in late 2024, with the XX model and convertible following in 2027 and 2028, respectively. And get this—assembly could stretch to 2030!
Another big debut could be a replacement for the 812 Superfast, featuring a classic V12 engine. Ferrari’s doubling down on the power, aiming to top the 830 horses in the current model.
As for the mystery third car, it’s anyone’s guess. Could be a new Icona model, a spin-off from the Purosangue SUV, or something unexpected. But don’t hold your breath for the long-awaited EV—Ferrari’s electric dreams won’t be a reality until 2025.
On the bright side, Ferrari’s employees are in for a treat! CEO Benedetto Vigna announced a hefty bonus for their hard work in 2023. Looks like it’s full speed ahead for the Prancing Horse!
