Spy photos have surfaced, i’s have been dotted, T’s have been crossed, eyes have been crossed and public relations people have been canned but the cat is finally out of the bag and the bag has been shredded.
Ferrari is going electric, why should the BMW and the VW group have all the fun? According to our sources a super double top secret memo from the highest level of the Ferrari company was sent out almost one year ago today. No expense was to be spared, failure would not be an option. Multiple Ferrari electric models must be viable on the race tracks and roads of the future.
We are not sure who the scientists and designers behind these new models are but judging by the performance statistics of the new cars Ferrari certainly got its moneys worth.
Sources tell us that the six wheel models use a new technology that requires the extra axles because the torque is just too high for one axle to handle and six wheel steering also helps the car take corners at much higher speeds than conventional two axle systems.
Sources also claim that quickness and top speeds will be record breaking as well as a range that will be a full five times the highest range of any other electric car on the road today. The figures to reach this claim would mean an unheard of range of 1500 miles on a charge.
All I can say about this is happy April 1.

I was told the guy behind th Ferrari 6x& project was hired out from G-Wagwn AMG 6X6 team, can anyone confirm….Ah-Ah!!
Hysterical and well written… were the renders not so comical it was almost believable… good one guys…
Let’s hope this day never comes. Though, I am kinda digging the idea of an El Ferraramino!
THAT PICK UP AND MULTI-WHEELED FERRARI’S ARE A WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY, AND I CAN SEE HOW THEY WOULD BE PRACTICAL IN ANY EVENT? HOW CAN A SIX WHEELED CAR BE A GAS SAVER??
Skip, easy, they have Bluetooth.
Rick,
Does that Bluetooth add to the horsepower?
Bluetooth makes everything better.
Ferrari TM’d goldtooth.. get w the program
