But there won't be an electric Ferrari

Ferrari could build V6-engined cars in the future, but not an electric car, according to company boss Amedeo Felisa.

Asked about the possibility of a V6 engined Ferrari, Felisa said “If I had to answer the question a year ago I would have said no, but attitudes are changing and we build cars for customers," said Felisa. "In 20 years, who can say?

“If you look at global warming, the right solution is not full electric. It’s more a marketing solution than a real one, sound is just as important as design and performance for Ferrari. We will not make engine sounds with speakers.”

Felisa also confirmed that an open-topped 458 Italia and a successor to the Enzo were under development.
