The torque response of electric motors makes many mass-market electric vehicles serious competitors for small-scale supercars. The producers of the latter do not want to put up with this, and therefore they are systematically preparing to switch to electric traction. The Ferrari brand intends to make a fateful step for itself in 2025.

This was reported by Bloomberg, citing statements by Chairman of the Board of Directors John Elkann, who, in the absence of the current CEO, spoke at a general meeting of Ferrari shareholders. The Italian brand will present its first electric car in 2025. Electrification will be an important part of Ferrari’s strategy, according to the head of the board of directors, it will cover both road cars and sports cars. More details on the company’s plans will be revealed in 2022 at an investor event.

The next year also sees the debut of the Purosangue crossover, another popular product category that Ferrari has so far ignored. Last year, Louis Camilleri left the post of CEO of the company, who held a conservative view of the idea of ​​ uXNUMXb uXNUMXbmaking electric vehicles, arguing that Ferrari would not completely abandon the use of internal combustion engines during his lifetime. Personnel changes now allow the company to name the timing of the appearance of the first electric car of the brand, and the middle of the decade in this context does not look too conservative forecast against the background of competitors.
