With sales of 13,663 cars, you wouldn't say it's a record year for any mass-market automaker. But that's the best delivery performance in history for the Italian folks over at Ferrari.
They plan to keep at it, by the way, as the rumor mill believes that Prancing Horse fans will get three new models to marvel at during 2024 – the 'F250' LaFerrari successor, the replacement for the 812 Superfast, plus a mysterious new model that nobody knows anything about. As such, just like with Lewis Hamilton's surprise move from Mercedes to Ferrari, speculation runs rampant. That includes the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, by the way.
First things first, the plans of Ferrari seem to include electrification every step of the way – and that's only natural after nearly half of all deliveries in 2023 were hybrids. Even weirder, Ferrari has been seen benchmarking a Tesla Model S Plaid in Maranello, further raising speculation about upcoming electric or electrified models.
Well, as far as the parallel universes of vehicular CGI are concerned, maybe Ferrari should corroborate its plans for more PHEVs or even a fully-fledged EV with an additional body style. There's no hurry, of course, because production from the company is already sold out through 2025 – meaning anything new won't come earlier than 2026, even if the clients are some of the wealthiest humans that live on Earth.
So, here's a 'what if' thought for them. The good folks over at car.design.trends have recently focused our attention on a hypothetical proposal for a Ferrari limousine done by art student Noah Wou – aka synesthesium_ on social media – who studies at ArtCenter Transportation Design and seems to enjoy the vision of feisty supercars thoroughly.
One of them is called the Ferrari Tempesta, which is “the four-door, four-seat exotic daily that fulfills that Ferrari itch without being an SUV,” like the first-ever Purosangue. The reaction from his fans was quite unsurprising – this Ferrari Tempesta is a sedan without looking like one. Instead, from a few angles, you'll be easily fooled into thinking this is the latest two-door Prancing Horse supercar.
While these design projects are usually devoid of any technical information, on this occasion, the student did his CGI homework thoroughly and even gave us a quick rundown of the juicy specification – including the length that is greater than a Porsche Panamera and a plug-in hybrid powertrain that mirrors the one seen in the real world onboard the Ferrari 296 series – a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 assisted by an MGU-K motor and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
For sure, with 819 combined horsepower, just like on the 296, this Ferrari Tempesta sedan proposal would certainly teach a thing or two about four-seat performance to the 715-hp naturally aspirated V12-powered Ferrari Purosangue SUV, right?
