In just a little over a week, Ferrari will uncover
their newest hybrid supercar. The yet-to-be-named model will premiere on May
31, and it’s thought to combine a 3.9-liter, twin-turbo V8 engine with no less
than three electric motors.
The alleged information comes via AutoMotorUndSport,
which claims that the internal combustion engine is the same 3.9-liter V8 units
that powers the new F8 Tributo. Two of the electric motors are found on the
front axle and the third one is said to have been integrated into the
transmission.
The combined output of 1,000 PS,
as revealed in the invitation to the unveiling of the hybrid supercar that
surfaced online last week, and all-wheel drive system are expected to make it
faster than some of the latest hypercars. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint
should be completed in a jaw-dropping 2.0 seconds.
If true, then we’re looking at the fastest
accelerating production car yet, as the Rimac C_Two and new Tesla Roadster
aren’t available yet. The former can (allegedly) hit the 96 km/h mark
in 1.85 seconds and the latter in (also allegedly) 1.9 seconds.
The official starting price of the new electrified
Ferrari is expected to be at around € 600,000 or nearly US$ 670,000 at the current
exchange rates. A lesser version is thought to be in development, too, and that one
will reportedly get up to 733 PS and a more affordable price
tag.
