Ferrari isn’t getting rid of its gas-powered engines anytime soon.

The infamous Italian sports car brand Ferrari has confirmed its first all-electric model will be on sale in 2025. By 2030 most of its cars will still have internal combustion engines but they won’t be going away completely anytime soon.

Ferarri will be continuing to add hybrid power to the lineup, like that used in the current 296 GTB, which combines electric motors and a V6 engine.

Several models will continue to run solely on gasoline power.

Speaking at Ferrari’s capital markets day, CEO Benedetto Vigna said Ferrari will launch 15 new vehicles by 2026 that will bring its mix to 5% electric, 55% hybrid, and 40% internal combustion. That will shift to 40% electric and 40% hybrid by 2030, with the remaining 20% internal combustion.

Vigna added that the AI experts admitted that their presentation to try and bring Ferrari over to the self-driving side was “useless.”

Vigna said, “No customer is going to spend money for the computer in the car to enjoy the drive,” in an interview with Bloomberg.

“I will never build a Ferrari operating system, I would be foolish,” Vigna said. “You have to focus on the areas where you can be the best.”

“The value of the man, of the human at the center, is fundamental.”

The next model to be released is the Purosangue, which will be powered by a conventional V12 engine when it debuts in September as Ferrari’s first SUV.
