Ferrari limits annual sales of its cars

At Capital Markets Day Ferrari has announced its plans and goals when it comes to sales. According to published information, the company from Maranello will limit the annual deliveries of its models, while by 2026, 3/5 of all offers will have hybrid and purely electric powertrains, and the rest will be cars with internal combustion engines.

Earlier this year, Ferrari released photos of its first SUV, and Ferrari is calling it a “game-changer.” The Ferrari Purosangue should have its world premiere in September, and the first deliveries can be expected early next year. However, sales of the model, which will be powered by a V12 engine, will be limited to only 1/5 of the total annual Ferrari car delivery. Good job Ferrari!

When it comes to other supercars with a V12 engine, the 812 Competizione / 812 Competizione A will be limited to 10 percent of total sales. The Ferrari Icona, which will be produced in only 300 copies, will be limited to just five percent of total sales.

Whether this decision is caused by the current crisis that is shaking the world, and therefore the automotive industry, it is not known. Either way, it is certain that the price of the already limited number of expensive cars will be even higher.

2023 Mercedes-AMG G63 4×4²

Mercedes previously published photos from the testing of the new G-Class. The camouflaged car didn’t reveal much, so one could only guess. However, they decided to reveal the look of the new Mercedes-AMG G63 4×4² before the official premiere.

The Mercedes-AMG G63 4×4² is powered by a 4-liter V8 biturbo engine with 585 hp (430 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission that transmits power to all wheels. The company claims that the new G-Class reaches 62 mph in less than 5 seconds, but consumes as much as 20 L of fuel per 100 km, which, if we take into account current prices, will empty the wallet of future owners.

The car is equipped with a modified adaptive suspension, and the G-Klass is additionally lifted from the ground to as much as 351 millimeters compared to the previous 238 mm. This allows the car to pass through 91 mm deep water and a better approach / exit angle compared to the standard G-Class. It is mounted on 22-inch wheels.

When it comes to price, the Mercedes-AMG G63 4×4² is not cheap at all and costs 250,000 euros.

The 2022 WRC season is underway and the current leader in the championship standings is Finnish driver Kalle Rovanperä of Toyota GR Yaris. Toyota GR Yaris is also the leader in the category of manufacturers. The Skoda team has bad results, so the manufacturer decided to present the new Fabia RS Rally2 for the 2023 season.
