The number of delays and cancellations related to the coronavirus pandemic continues to grow, and this time it is Ferrari that disconnects.
The Italian logo has made it official: its first plug-in hybrid supercar, the SF90 Stradale, will not be presented in the first part of 2020 as planned. Seeing that we’re already approaching mid-August, it seemed unlikely at this point anyway.
Chief executive Louis Camilleri announced the news last week, Ferrari’s second quarter profit call, which included a revised sales forecast and other changes to Ferrari’s upcoming finances amid the pandemic. Instead of the first part of this year, the company expects the first deliveries to begin in the fourth quarter of 2020. Europe will get the first cars and the United States will be about two months later.
Ferrari showed the delay with Roadshow declined to comment further.
The SF90 Stradale is Ferrari’s most powerful car to date with a whopping 986 horsepower, thanks to a marriage of a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and three electric motors. Camilleri called the powertrain a “complex beast” and noted some of the components are delayed due to supply chain crunches.
Meanwhile, Ferrari still has things to show us this year. We will see two new models presented at the time of this year. Honestly, some new Ferraris can make 2020 a little better.
