"I Don't Believe in Electric Cars," Says Ferrari CEO
If you prefer your green cars to be a little more red, well, we’ve got some bad news for you. You won’t see an electric Ferrari. Not soon, not ever, says company CEO Luca di Montezemelo.
“You will never see a Ferrari electric because I don’t believe in electric cars” said Montezemelo, speaking at the Ferrari World Design Contest. But that’s not all, the Ferrari boss is passionately opposed to the idea. “I don’t think they represent an important step forward for pollution or CO2 or the environment,” he continued.
But that’ snot to say Ferrari is opposed to “electrification.” On the contrary, engineers at the Prancing Horse’s headquarters are working diligently on a hybrid Ferrari. “This should be the future, and I hope in a couple of years you can see it,” said Montezemelo.
