Ferrari's Chairman, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo has been one the biggest critics of electric vehicles. So it comes a no surprise that Montezemolo has said the Ferrari will be doing more hybrid vehicles.

“I don’t believe in the electric cars, but I strongly believe in hybrids,” di Montezemolo said in a interview.

di Montezemolo explained that the brand sees hybrid technology as a way to not only improve performance but to expand the brand’s reach. He quickly added that Ferrari would not expanding their lineup or number of vehicles built. Instead the company will be reducing the amount vehicles built.

I highly doubt they'll be able to embrace this without losing too much perfomance and that will cripple their engines towards the costumers who are buying them for speed reasons, but car tech never stops getting updated so let's wait for them to surprise or disappoint us.

As long as they keep the weight in check for the cars I wouldn't mind seeing more hybrids.
