In a momentous shift for the iconic automaker, Ferrari reports hybrids accounted for 43% of its total Q2 2023 deliveries. Not only does this mark a significant shift towards electrification, but it also indicates a staggering growth of over 100% in hybrid sales since the same period in 2022. An expanded portfolio of nine ICE and four hybrid vehicles contributed to this evolution in consumer preference.
Ferrari has shipped a total of 6,959 vehicles, ICE and hybrid combined, in H1 2023, marking a 4% year-on-year growth. Even though it trails behind the top regional player, EMEA, with 3,172 cars, the Americas demonstrated a healthy appetite for the Maranello’s creations with 1,831 units.
Models such as the 296 GTB, Roma, and Portofino M were the major drivers of Ferrari’s Q2 2023 sales. Also, customers started to enjoy the novel experience of owning the first Purosangue SUVs and the increased production of Daytona SP3 models. The success story of the 296 GTS and 812 Competizione A convertibles continues, while we expect the Purosangue, currently powered exclusively by V12 engines, to adopt a hybrid variant before 2030.
The next generation of Ferrari’s hypercar is set to break cover in 2024, replacing the legendary LaFerrari. While it might lack the V12 heart, expect a powerful V8 or even a V6 engine, hinting at the possibility of substantial electrification.
