Ferrari will make an electric supercar (and an SUV)
“If there is an electric supercar to be built, then Ferrari will be the first,” Marchionne said, according to Bloomberg. “People are amazed at what Tesla did with a supercar: I’m not trying to minimize what Elon did but I think it’s doable by all of us.”
Both BMW and Porsche have plans to introduce all-electric supercars in the coming years. BMW says it will make an purely battery-electric version of its i8 Roadster, while the Porsche Mission E is expected to go on sale in 2019.
As for the Ferrari SUV, Marchionne was elusive about specs or a timeline, but said it would have to look and feel like a Ferrari. “It will look like whatever a Ferrari utility vehicle needs to look like,” Marchionne told AutoExpress in Detroit. “It has to drive like a Ferrari.”
It’s a significant departure from his comments in 2016 about the Ferrari SUV: “You have to shoot me first.”

Full electric car trend getting closer to a critical mass, class 4 (doesn't need driver's attention) self driving vehicles promised within next 3-4 years, exciting times ahead!
