![]() To that end, Formula 1 will also see a new family of turbo hybrids that are "fun to drive and perform" according to Leiters. The overall challenge, however, will be to develop power by improving efficiency and reducing emissions, and the road taken will therefore remain that of the hybrid. MILAN, June 29 (Reuters) - Luxury sports automaker Ferrari (RACE.MI) on Thursday unveiled two new plug-in hybrid models, produced in limited series and hitting the top end of the its price. Perhaps the most important innovation will be the new architecture of the V6 family. Innovation remains the key factor, thanks to the know-how derived from Formula 1, with the awareness that, as Enzo Ferrari said, "the engine is the soul of every car. Control is another aspect that engineers are focusing on to ensure an accurate and fast response. A key element will be the sound, which Maranello calls music and will deliver a "punch in the stomach" according to Leiters. The Ferrari 296 GTB, an evolution of Ferrariās mid-rear-engined two-seater sports berlinetta concept, represents a revolution for the Maranello-based company as it introduces the new 120 V6 engine coupled with a plug-in (PHEV) electric motor capable of delivering up to 830 cv. Ferrari Chief Technology Officer Michael Leiters teased the new Ferrari engines without going into detail (for reasons of company secrecy), but explained what will be the DNA of the technologies: performance, emotions, versatility, and comfort. The following is a list of road cars manufactured by Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari, dating back to the 1950s (Race cars from the late 1940s). ![]() Ferrari is keen to let people know, however, that sound will continue to be part of the Ferrari experience in an increasingly electric world. New architectures and "music" for the ears The next Ferraris will be based on two architectures: one with a mid-engine layout and one with the mill in front, but both ready for hybrid electric power. ![]()
