Electric, gasoline or hybrid? This is probably the most discussed topic in the automobile world for the last 2 years. Apart from these, there are also hydrogen engines that brands such as Toyota are interested in, and “synthetic fuel” that Lamborghini focuses on. So who will really be more successful? While looking for an answer to this question, looking at Ferrari’s year-end balance sheet can give us an idea. Here are the details…
Ferrari experienced a boom in hybrid sales! Here is Ferrari 2023 balance sheet!
As it is known, at the end of the year, especially in the last 2 months, brands analyze their year-end sales rates and revenues. In this context, Italian supercar manufacturer Ferrari announced the last quarter and general balance sheet report of 2023. In these reports, hybrid car sales rates especially in the last quarter attracted attention.
According to the shared report, Ferrari delivered a total of 3 thousand 188 vehicles in the last quarter of 2023. 51.3 percent of these vehicles had a hybrid engine. Especially plug-in hybrid models such as the 296 and SF90 series are the center of attention of their users. However, our careful readers will remember the news about Ferrari that we published in the past weeks. (We recommend that you continue with this news after reading the news in question.

If we need to briefly summarize Ferrari’s statement, the brand stated that in line with the decision it made, it will start producing electric cars in the near future and Ferraris with internal combustion engines will no longer be produced. This is a sad news, especially for car enthusiasts who love exhaust sounds, because the exhaust sound culture started to spread with Ferrari.
However, a situation that occurred for the first time in history emerged in the brand’s last quarter reports. For the first time, sales of Ferraris with internal combustion engines fell behind hybrid models. This actually raises the question: Is Ferrari doing the right thing by switching to electric cars?
We would also like to remind you of the statement made by Lamborghini as an antithesis to this. (We recommend that you continue this news after reading the news in question. You can access our news by clicking here.) Lamborghini stated in its statement that they will follow the future of synthetic fuels and that they think synthetic fuels will be more successful in the future. This tells us that Lamborghini will continue to produce internal combustion V12 engines while remaining true to their roots.
Regarding the issue, there are two major supercar manufacturers and there is an undecided point. What type of engines is the future? Your opinions are also important to us. Don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments section…
