    Ferrari’s First Mass Production Hybrid Will Debut This Year

    If rumors are to be believed, Ferrari will be launching their first (mass production) hybrid engine at some point during 2019.  Although it is unclear as to what model this engine will be mated to, or if indeed it is a new model (more likely), we can be almost certain that it will be even more powerful and punchy than the 3.9-litre turbo-charged V8 Ferrari currently has in the 488 GTB and 488 Pista. An announcement by Louis Camilleri, Ferrari’s CEO, as well as somebody anonymous close to the brand, indicate that the engine will most likely be a hybrid engine.

    By looking at a few spy shots of a test mule (see below), we can see a clear 488 body with some adjustments and modifications on various panels. Videos of these development cars also provide the aural evidence that the cars are somewhat quieter than the current 488 GTB, which is also a large clue as to how the engine will be powered.

    Before his death, Sergio Marchionne did say that the company was working on a hybrid engine which would be put into production in 2019. He also mentioned that combining electric with internal combustion engines would, “become a mainstay in our portfolio.”

    Camilleri stated that an all-electric Ferrari will be on its way post-2022, which is rather tragic news for the petrolhead as a whole, but an indication that electrification is seemingly the way forward even for performance car manufacturers such as Ferrari.

    Production and delivery of this new car will be taking place in 2020.

    According to other sources customers will be shown the 488 successor as soon as this week with a debut in Geneva apparently on the cards.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
