This week, Ferrari introduced its F8 Tributo supercar, which is intended to be the successor to the 488 GTB. However, this is not the only novelty that the Maranello manufacturer will produce by 2019, says the marketing director of the brand, Enrico Galliera. "Five new models are coming," he said, starting the generation change with the Italians.
Galliera revealed that one of the models will debut at the Motor Show next week in Geneva, but this debut model is likely to be the F8 Tributo already featured on online images. The mid-engined car has got the Ferrari 488 Pistachio's known-for-3.9-liter twin-turbo power, so it's not going to miss the power: 720 horsepower is at your service.
Not much has yet been revealed about the other four cars that have appeared, but Galliera has also provided some information on these. “Some of them will be successors to existing models, but not all of them. I can say that there will be innovations in both the GT and sports car segments. ”
Since the F8 Tributo represents the sports line for Ferrari, experts expect the 812 Superfast to be renewed or to receive a new name. Meanwhile, in Maranello, there is a late hybrid-driven model that is more powerful than the 488 Pist, which can also debut this year. It is also certain that in the near future two mid-engine Ferrari will arrive, the marketing director said. In addition, a Ferrari designed for "day-to-day use" is being produced, but Galliera highlighted not the Purosangue leisure car.
Announced after the death of President Sergio Marchionne Ferrari, Louis Camilleri announced last year that Ferrari will be manufactured with fifteen new models by 2022, with 60% of them produced with a hybrid drive. However, you don't have to worry about V12 lovers. “V12 is a brand of heritage. There will be such cars in the future besides the V8 and V6 hybrids, ”said Galliera.
