Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Seriously, looks like shit. This might be the ugliest Ferrari ever made.
Looks like a child's toy that someone (very lazily) slapped Ferrari design language onto (mainly applied via stickers). Seriously, it's got the proportions of a cheap remote controlled toy car. The kind you find at the dollar store.
If Ferrari wanted people to buy into the idea of electric Ferraris, they needed to start with a super-crazy looking, bonkers fast halo car. Something they could legitimately market as 'the fastest Ferrari ever made'. Something along the lines of the Rimac Nevera. A sleek hypercar with record-breaking performance. Fuck range, fuck practicality -- just make it beautiful and make it FAST. Then, once they'd established the reputation, they could move electrification gradually downmarket and maybe eventually introduce something like this car ... though hopefully still not as ugly.
Starting with this, though... Nobody is going to take electric Ferraris seriously, not for at least a decade after this. Is that their perverse goal? Maybe the engineers and designers involved in this project hated the idea of electric Ferraris so much that they made sure Ferrari would never make another one? Forced to make an electric model by upper management, they made sure to sabotage the project and make Ferrari give up on electrification for good.
Italians are famous for fucking around with compliance laws. So they designed hideous, overpriced EV they won't actually have to make. But we all know someone in Miami will buy one.
Honestly, might end up being a good investment.
As ugly and horrible as it is, it's still a Ferrari, and likely to become an ultra-rare one at that, since they sure aren't going to sell many. And no matter how bad it is, I bet there will still be a strong collector's market for an ultra-rare Ferrari.
And, anyway, someday in the next few decades, Ferrari will almost certainly do the electrification thing properly. They'll eventually have to, just to stay relevant. And after that's done, this abomination of a car will perhaps become even more valuable to collectors: the ultra rare first-ever electric Ferrari. Plus, the oldest, most 'classic' Ferrari you're allowed to drive in EV-only zones. Not that anyone will drive it, of course. Gotta keep that collector's value high.
