The prancing horse is going green as spy photographers have snapped a new hybrid from Ferrari.
The mule is based on the 488 and isn’t shy about hiding its electrification as there are high-voltage badges on all four sides of the vehicle. If that wasn’t enough, there’s two more badges where the Scuderia shields normally reside.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much else to see other than a modified rear end. While it looks relatively normal at first glance, the dual exhaust system has been relocated and is now mounted higher up.

Little is known about the car at this point, but Ferrari has previously said approximately 60% of their vehicles will have a hybrid powertrain by 2022. Furthermore, the company’s Sport range is slated to go “full hybrid range by 2021.”
The car’s engine also remains a mystery, but the company is working on a new V6 and has previously confirmed plans for a “Turbo Hybrid” family of engines. The latter are slated to produce 394+ hp (294 kW / 400 PS) per liter and have zero turbo lag. Ferrari has also said their hybrids will be “more fun to drive,” while offering lower CO2 emissions.
A lot of questions remain, but it’s believed the production model won’t arrive until 2021. Ferrari’s chief marketing and commercial officer, Enrico Galliera, has previously described 2020 as a “year of consolidation” and one which will see the automaker introduce less models than the year before. 2019 was jam packed for Ferrari as they unveiled the SF90 Stradale, F8 Tributo, F8 Spider, 812 GTS and the Roma.
