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.
