The past several years have seen a push to eliminate sales of new combustion engine cars by 2035. This shift initially left brands like Ferrari in a conundrum because the essence of its cars revolves partly around the visceral thrill of a powerful V8 or V12 engine. However, as more legislation is crafted, it increasingly opens the possibility of combustion-engined cars living past 2035 if they run on environmentally friendly fuels.
While the legislation continues to evolve, Ferrari is moving ahead with plans to launch its first electric car in 2025. According to its CEO, Benedetto Vigna, the automaker is also on target to meet its carbon neutrality goal by 2030. However, Vigna quickly added that with the development of e-fuels moving faster than anticipated, it means "ICE still has a lot to do."
