Ferrari: E-Fuel Can Keep Our Combustion Engines Alive
Ferrari's CEO, Benedetto Vigna, is optimistic about the future of environmentally friendly e-fuels and hydrogen powertrains in Ferrari's lineup. Vigna envisions a future where these innovative technologies, developed through motorsport, play a crucial role in maintaining Ferrari's legacy of powerful combustion engines. He firmly believes that carbon-neutral fuel will «become more and more a reality.»
Ferrari's Commitment to Carbon-Neutral E-Fuel
Vigna elaborates, «We are collaborating with partners for the 2026 introduction of carbon-neutral fuel in Formula 1, as part of the new technical regulations. Historically, technological advancements begin on the track and eventually make their way to road cars. We believe that there is still a viable future for internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, supported by the development of carbon-neutral fuel.»
The Future of Ferrari's Hypercars
As Ferrari gears up to unveil the much-anticipated successor to the LaFerrari hypercar, there is speculation about its powertrain. This new model, codenamed F250, is undergoing rigorous on-road testing and is expected to be launched next year. While details about the engine type—whether V6, V8, or V12—remain undisclosed, Vigna's emphasis on e-fuels suggests that it will be designed to run on this sustainable alternative. This successor is expected to feature a hybrid drivetrain similar to those in the 296 and SF90 supercars but with unprecedented power levels.
Hydrogen Technology: A Future Prospect
When asked about Ferrari's exploration of hydrogen technology, Vigna confirmed that the company is actively researching this fuel type. «We do not anticipate seeing hydrogen technology before 2030,» Vigna stated. «However, motorsport can always serve as the initial testing ground for new technologies.» He also noted that «hydrogen could be a good option for the future.»
