Not made for the purpose of electrification in the first place
It is said that Ferrari is seeing an even more electrified future in the near future, so it is inevitable that hybrids and electric vehicles will be used in various current environments and situations. I think that's the case (hybrid cars such as the SF90 Stradale have already been announced).
Under such circumstances, according to the British media "Autocar", it was written that in entry-level Portofino or Rome, electrification is impossible, at least in the current generation model.
Autocar quotes the source information of the reason as from Ferrari itself, and Ferrari officials at the time of the press announcement of Ferrari Roma
"The rear drive coupe of the front engine is never electrified."
It is written that it was said.
Adding an electric motor and battery pack to the structure of an existing internal combustion engine is not an easy task, and considering that, it seems that from the stage of developing Ferrari Portofino, it seems that he did not intend to hybridize Portofino. ..
Also, Rome, which is based on this Portofino, was also considered only as a gasoline engine car.
Until now, it seems that even electrification of Portofino and Rome had never been considered by the public, but Ferrari will be new (or until 2023) in the next five years (or until 2023). Since it was announced that 15 models would be announced (as an alternative to the current one), the view that "hybrid cars will come out" spread, and from there, "No, but there is no hybrid of Portofino and Rome". It seems that it became.
By the way, according to Autocar, Ferrari admits that about half of the 15 new models to be announced will be hybrid models.
The successor to the F8 Tributo will also be hybridized.
Ferrari Roma convertible?
Speaking of which, a while ago there was a rendering (image processed in Photoshop etc.) saying "What would it be like if Ferrari Roma became an open car?" ^ ^
I think that the line to the beautiful rear can be realized because Rome is not convertible, but if you look at what made this an open car ...
That is here, but this is what.
Not only did Rome become a convertible, but the shape of the part where the roof opens is taken from Porsche's Speedster ~ ↓
Well, a fusion of beautiful Ferrari Roma and beautiful Porsche 911 Speedster Convertible & Rear. This is a little awesome.
Of course, it's not in reality, but ^^
In addition, a version of Ferrari Roma inspired by F8 and SF90 was also made ↓
Everyone, I can think of many things ... ^^
