AN iconic supercar brand is set to launch its first ever EV, with a new factory already in the works.<\/p>\n
The luxury car giant is planning to open a new facility in Italy to produce its new all-electric models.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Ferrari boss Benedetto Vigna confirmed that the company was on the right track in developing a new electric car.<\/p>\n
Last Thursday he told reporters: "Ferrari\u2019s first fully electric model project is going as planned but for some processes, we are even ahead of schedule."<\/p>\n
He added that the company had made a "big step forward" in the third quarter of this year and had "made a lot of progress in optimizing" the design.<\/p>\n
This reportedly adds up to some technical elements of the project being completed quicker than expected, according to Automotive News.<\/p>\n
The as-yet-unnamed model will be the brand's first car to rely entirely on electric power.<\/p>\n It will join the hybrid 26 and SF90 models in its reduced-emission lineup.<\/p>\n However, fans shouldn't get excited just yet, as it is not expected to hit showrooms for at least another two years.<\/p>\n Vigna declined to reveal who would supply the battery for the new motor, pointing out that this is not even public knowledge when it comes to the existing hybrids.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n But he did say that the plan was to release the groundbreaking EV in the final quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n This will be preceded by the establishment of a new e-factory in Ferrari's hometown Maranello in northern Italy.<\/p>\n The plant will produce electric motors, inverters and batteries for EV and hybrid models and is expected to be up and running in June.<\/p>\n Its opening is a key step towards Ferrari's goal of 40% of its lineup being electric by 2030.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, it will face stiff competition from other supercar brands entering the EV space, with companies like Rimac already producing high-end electric speedsters for several years.<\/p>\n It comes after it was reported that a housing development may be scrapped to make way for an EV charging hub.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a mystery has developed concerning a \u00a31.5 million Ferrari that was stolen two decades ago.<\/p>\n<\/picture>EV ENVY <\/span><\/p>\n
