A slide from Ferrari’s 2018-2022 Product Plan shows that the company is funding the development of the new hypercar, but it won’t arrive until after 2022.

The Prancing Horse plans 60% of its models to become hybrids by 2022. This plan suggests that the new hypercar will be electrified. However, don’t place your bets on a model with a V12 combustion engine such as the LaFerrari. Michael Leiters, Ferrari’s technical director, says that he doesn’t see much future for large-displacement hybrid powerplants. He stated in March that if you want to reap the benefits of electrified powertrains, you must do so with downsizing.
