Gone are the days of speculations about electrified versions of existing models like the 488 or 812. Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has confirmed a completely new design, a “full-electric special” according to a Reuters source, distinct from anything currently in their lineup. Expect a futuristic silhouette that embodies the essence of a Ferrari, constructed with lightweight materials to optimize performance.

Adding fuel to the fire, spy photos captured by Derek Cornelissen reveal a heavily disguised test mule undergoing testing in Maranello, Ferrari’s home base. The oddly disguised prototype resembles an oversized hatchback. While the body appears to be a modified Maserati Levante, it intriguingly sports headlights borrowed from the Ferrari Roma. New alloy wheels, possibly missing their aerodynamic covers, further distinguish the test vehicle.

Production for the upcoming Ferrari EV will take place at the brand’s recently inaugurated “e-building” facility. Interestingly, Ferrari has also promised an “authentic” sound for their electric car, details of which remain a mystery.

The Ferrari EV represents a significant turning point for the Prancing Horse. While some may scoff at the idea of an electric Ferrari, the company assures us this new chapter won’t compromise its core values. “We will be Ferrari, even in electric,” declared Vigna. Only time will tell if this electrifying stallion can measure up to the legacy of its petrol-powered predecessors.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
