Ferrari to launch 15 new cars by 2026, EV and hypercar confirmed

Ferrari has announced new production plans, confirming it will launch 15 new models into its line-up by 2026, while also outlining its targets for electrification.

Off the back of reports earlier this week which suggested the Italian manufacturer was building a new production line for electrified vehicles only, Ferrari has confirmed it is aiming for 60 per cent of its model range to feature some form of electrification by 2026 – with 55 per cent to be hybrids, while the remaining five per cent will be fully-electric vehicles.

This will only swing more in the direction of electrified vehicles by 2030, as pure internal combustion engines will power just 20 per cent of the model range – with hybrids and EVs split evenly between the rest of the line-up.

While covers will officially come off Ferrari's Purosangue V12 SUV in September this year, we'll have to wait until 2025 to see the Prancing Horse's first EV, leaving the marque just five years to reach its target of going carbon neutral by 2030.

Despite this being Ferrari's first attempt at a high-riding, four-door SUV, the Purosangue is expected to account for 20 per cent of the brand's sales over its lifetime, while models from the Super Series and Icona Series will make up just 10 and five per cent of all deliveries respectively.

The LaFerrari successor has previously been spied testing at Fiorano

Making its debut in the top tier of the Ferrari line-up will be its latest hypercar, internally dubbed 'Supercar' despite its status as the direct replacement to the LaFerrari.

Although no details have been confirmed as yet, it's tipped to be the first flagship Ferrari since the F40 to use a non-V10 or V12 engine, with a hybrid twin-turbo V8 likely to be fitted.

The yet-to-be-named hypercar isn't just for the road – it will also be Ferrari's challenger for the Le Mans Hypercar category in next year's World Endurance Championship, signalling Maranello's first time in the top class in 50 years, taking to Le Mans in the centenary event.

The Ferrari 296 GTB's V6 engine is a plug-in hybrid unit, following the lead set by the SF90

“Our brand fuels the dreams of millions. It has been built up over 75 years of thrilling, memorable experiences, through success on the track and sheer driving pleasure on the road," said Ferrari Chairman, John Elkann.

"It has created an inclusive, close-knit community that encompasses diverse people, countries and even industries. As long as we preserve its heritage and values, it will lay a solid foundation for our future strategic plans”.

Ferrari's current electrified model range consists of the SF90 and 296 GTB, both of which are plug-in hybrids.
