Remember when everyone thought Ferrari was cool? Not anymore.
Yes, even the manufacturer who once furnished Magnum P.I. with his sweet red convertible has gone electric.
Here's a video announcement of the car if you want to see the fine details:
Needless to say, the internet was not universally excited by the electric Ferrari reveal.
Who wouldn't want to shell out (checks notes) $640,000 for an electric sports car? Don't worry, though. This model is sure to die a quick death and be relegated to the dustbin of automotive history.
On a positive note, this toy-looking electric Ferrari is almost certainly a sign that we're in the end times.
Come quickly, Lord!

Are you actually agreeing with someone who wants the govt to ban EVs because one caught fire in a parking garage. Sheesh, the collective IQ on this site has gone through the floor.
I forgot the mid 50’s Caddy color cides!😃
For a mere 2.5 million you can own an electric Rimac Nevera top speed 260 mph
Looks like a vette
2000 horsepower
Smurf Blue!
The name. I talked to a Bentley/Rolls Royce dealer about why THEY made SUVs and he said they sell like hotcakes in the more affluent areas. Why? The trophy wife takes the kids to the private school, and she HAS to show up the OTHER trophy moms there. So, the highest prestige/cost her car is, the more superior she can feel.
He can drive it to the Met Gala, and all the other crap that he attends.
So you’re trying to get me to post a photo of my wife :-)
I can wrap my head around it. It’s absolute nonsense, and I already addressed it. Just because there was a very bad fire in your city (with zero fatalities) doesn’t overwhelm the importance of tens of thousands of fires which DIDN’T happen because Tesla doesn’t rely on setting fire to explosive gasses (which is how anti-Tesla folks would describe ICE if they wanted to ban them). The trope of Teslas catching fire is little more than Russian/Iranian/Chinese/Saudi propaganda designed to keep the world dependent on oil, and idiots who lap it up because it fits their decades-long skepticism of “green technology.”
It happens, but very rarely. It just seems like it happens for the same reason that Black people think all police officers just want to kill them: because your echo chamber amplifies the rare exception, and makes no mention of the normal.
Unless each and every Tesla fires averaged 120 other vehicles destroyed, your argument makes no sense. And that figure — that ICE vehicles catch fire 120 times more often per vehicle mile than Teslas — includes a bunch of left-wing terrorists trying to torch as many Teslas as they can.
Idaho is shall issue/Constitutional carry, so that kind of behavior is risly.
Why not Prius, when a Prius just makes sense among EVs?
Clever reply; very clever.
I would associate the pic with a Subaru.
State Farm removed EV charging stations from their parking decks about a year ago and moved then to open air parking lots..
These guys are owned by Benz
https://electrek.co/2025/12/02/yasa-record-setting-axial-flux-motor-in-wheel-powertrain-1000-bhp/
1000hp
28lbs
Fits where the brake rotors go in a wheel.
No ICE anywhere ever is going to hit this power to weight ratio or power density.
Physics makes that impossible.
As storage cell tech increases in energy density range at high speeds only increase. NMC is at 500wh/kg and climbing. The DOD has aluminum graphene that is triple that it’s for UAS and UUVs
600-1000 mile EV sports cars are easy to do at 500wh/kg
The easy button is to take a small gas turbine in the 250-500hp range like the Konner TK-250 turboshaft, weighing only 50kg/110lbs, and attach it to the end of one 28lb axial flux.motors from the guys above. Every motor is inherently a generator of equal power as all AC induction machines are both motors and generators only the phase angle and HZ of the magnetic fields from the inverter/rectifier changes the power flow direction in milliseconds at that. Your generator is also your starter too.
A supercar doing 200mph would need 210-260hp continuously, and at 150mph 90-110 hp both are easy to supply from that small turboshaft and axial flux generator.
Conversely a 200kWh pack is 268 horsepower hours, show me where you can rip at 200 mph for an hour straight. Other than an oval track there is no where not even the autobahn has enough level straight sections to hold speeds like that for an hour straight. At 500wh/kg 400kg is less than the weight of a V12 and it’s mechanical transmission and differentials.
Tesla S triple motor is already above 1000hp imagine a small turbine in the back driving a 250hp 1/4 sized axial flux generator. You could do 150mph all day with that set up or 200 for that matter. Turbines don’t care what you feed them gasoline , ethanol, kerosene , diesel the ECU will adjust injector pressure for each viscosity which is the only property a turbine cares about
Who would buy a Ferrari EV? Inquiring minds want to know.
I could get flamed for this, but I actually think it looks pretty cool for a crossover SUV. Too bad it’s electric and costs 10x too much.
Ain’t DEI engineering grand Moe.
Surely it doesn’t really cost $640,000? That’s a typo, right?
NO car should be painted in a pastel color. Metallic only.
I recently saw a chart that showed the average human gets in a serious accident every 600,000 miles driven, while autonomous EVs get in a similar accident every 3.3 MILLION miles driven. I could make an argument that is much stronger than your anecdotal nonsense that the govt should ban all human drivers.
