Legendary Italian car maker Ferrari has no intention of phasing out combustion engines and going fully electric or hybrid anytime soon, promising Sunday to keep making the eight and 12-cylinder engines it has made its trademark at least until the end of the 2030s.
The chief of the Italian manufacturer told the BBC in an interview it would be “arrogant” to dictate to customers what they can buy while at the same time walking away from the company’s heritage.

...The EV has more power, torque, 0-60, 0-100 than the Ferrari, only lagging by 11 mph in terms of top speed... Tesla panache: 0
Ferrari panache: ∞

In the 1971 Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, Brock Yates and Dan gurney drove a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 from NYC to Redondo Beach (2,863) in 35 hours 54 minutes (somewhat slowed by snow in the Rocky mountains), including fuel stops.
You’re luck if you can put a full charge on a Tesla in 36 hours.

Most car companies go racing to help them sell cars. Ferrari sells cars to raise money to go racing. Enzo Ferrari started selling cars because racing is expensive. Lesson I learned back in the 1960s. Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?

1994 Ferrari Tipo 043 3.5 V12 engine; the most powerful 3.5-litre engine in F1 history By the end of the 1994 season, Ferrari’s Tipo 043 V12 was putting out around 850 hp (634 kW) [27] @ 15,800 rpm, which is to date the most-powerful naturally-aspirated V12 engine ever used in Formula One.

I’m pretty sure they don’t even like the hybrid crap forced on them by F1.

“It is the client who must choose if they want an ICE (internal combustion engine), a hybrid or an electric car.” Serving its clients and giving them what they want has long been a successful strategy for the company. BLASPHEMY! St. Greta is gonna scowl at you so hard...
