Two are plug-in hybrids backed by V6 or V8 engines, whilst the third is a superb traditionally powered V8 gasser. Ferrari Mid-Engined Carsįans of this layout are spoilt for choice, as there are currently a trio of mid-engine Ferrari sports cars available. Propulsion runs the gamut from plug-in hybrids with six- or eight-cylinder engines, twin-turbo V8s, and a glorious V12 which surely isn’t long for this world.
#NEW FERRARI MODELS 2020 DRIVER#
These days, the company has a roster of vehicles split between sports cars with an engine slung amidships behind the driver and grand touring machines with the mill sitting in up front under bonnets the size of a grand piano. And that’s without mentioning modern wonders like the tremendous 458 Speciale and 812 Competizione. The mighty F40 is often (rightly) pointed to as one of the best cars ever made, despite its propensity to eat raw spark plugs for breakfast and hammer the spines of its occupants, whilst the 365 GTB4 Daytona rocks a V12 in one of the prettiest cars ever made. One must include the 250 GTO from the mid-‘60s, one of which recently fetched a gobsmacking $70 million at a private auction, along with the 166MM from about fifteen years prior that arguably bridged the gap between Fezza’s racing success and its road-going desirability. Trying to choose a Greatest Hits list from Ferrari’s back catalog is like attempting to assemble a collection of best Rolling Stones songs - there are simply too many for one album. Contrast this performance to what was half that volume less than 20 years ago and it’s easy to see Ferrari isn’t in danger of falling into irrelevance anytime soon. Worldwide sales have been steady around 10,000 units per annum for each of the last five years - global economic slowdowns don’t tend to hit the one-percenters as hard as the rest of us. The company has a rich history, with swaths of motorsport dominance and a roster of road cars enough to make even the richest Sultan blush with envy. It wasn’t until after WWII that the company starting building cars for the road in fact, it’s with some measure of seriousness that people used to say Enzo only built road vehicles as a measure to support his interest in racing.

The brand was technically founded in the late 1920’s when Enzo Ferrari decided to enter a few machines in professional auto racing. Even non-gearheads tend to swivel their heads and take notice when one of Maranello’s best rolls past in traffic. For many, Ferrari sits near or atop the food chain of desire.
