A Tesla Model S Plaid emerged from the gates of the Ferrari factory and confused many car enthusiasts: what is the Errant Horse company up to?
Something very strange was seen in Maranello: one Tesla Model S Plaid came out of the Ferrari factory. In short, in that municipality of Bologna, if we really have to see supercars, we expect beautiful and very powerful ones Ferrari, typical of the company, right? So what was one doing? Tesla in the factory? Could Elon Musk have wanted to visit Italy and ended up in the wrong place? In reality the answer is much more realistic and simple: as Ferrari had already announced some time ago, is working on the first electric carwhich will be released in 2025. The company decided to carry out tests on one of the best electric models,
But what does the Tesla Model S Plaid have to do with Ferrari?
To give a plausible explanation to what the municipality of Maranello saw is that Ferrari did not choose just any Model S, but that it chose the Model S Plaidthe one from more than 1,000 HP and which can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds. These features would look very good on Ferrari’s first electric car. However, in reality, this would be nothing more than a performance reference, because mechanically the electric Ferrari will be completely different from Elon Musk’s super sedan. Just to give an example, the new Ferrari will have some structural batteries which will be integrated into the body to reduce weight and clearance, all to give an advantage to road behavior.
At the moment we still know very little officially about the first electric Ferrari, apart from the aforementioned characteristics of the batteries, of which cells they will be produced by external partners and assembled in new e-building in Maranello, where they will also build the engines. This electric model will be a true sports car, at the same levels as the other Ferrari cars with combustion engines in terms of performance and driving dynamics. The sound won’t be any less either. We wonder if it will replicate that of the engine Naturally aspirated V12 or it will be something completely new.
We just have to wait to find out, the important thing is to know that Ferrari he’s working on it. Continue to follow us on techgameworld.com for other news from the world of motors and so on.
