wearebreitbart: Nah, we're good. Said 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.
Ferrari instead wants to honor its history of high performance cars using traditional methods of propulsion. It said electric cars and hybrids would make up an increasing proportion of its range by the end of the decade but would not totally take over manufacturing output.
Ferrari also insisted it would continue to develop internal combustion engines to salute what it called "an essential part of the company's heritage."

Would it surprise anyone if it turns out that a Saudi prince offered to fund ICE on the sly at Ferrari as long as they keep shipping the latest and greatest to the kingdom? Pocket change.

I give it 3yrs before they renege


Porsche already has an EV, lamborghini has promised 2 EVs by 2028. Mclaren is slated to have an EV already in development. Eventually ferrari will too either through legislation or competition

even the rocket industry is getting away from hydrogen, cant see it happening. Its simply a nightmare fuel from an engineering perspective.

Space X did extensive feasibility studies when developing their rocket engines and basically concluded "hell nawl, we aint using hydrogen"

Pipeline companies already making moves to support the hydrogen trucking that will come on line. Every truck stop in America will be getting hydrogen. Now, whether this whole mess blows up in the face of the Greens remains to be seen. It most definitely is going to be a cluster ****.
