Everybody's going over the hills and far away (downtown) because Jeep just announced its first global all-electric vehicle (Jeep Avenger is a regional affair), the 600-hp and 300-mile 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S kicking off at home in America at $72k. So, are electrics back in fashion?
We are not so sure about that because a lot of automakers are backtracking their electrification plans. Others don't even care about them whatsoever. It could be the case with Ferrari, for example, which doesn't care about Bentley or Bugatti's latest hybrid quests. Instead, they already have some (great) PHEVs like the Lamborghini Revuelto-fighting SF90 XX Stradale and Spider with 1,016 electrified ponies or the 819-hp Ferrari 296 GTB and GTS, for example.
They also want their 12-cylinder models to live on for as long as possible and don't even want to give them forced induction – the Ferrari Purosangue already has 715 hp, and the new Ferrari 12Cilindri upped the 6.5-liter V12 stakes to no less than 819 horsepower. Basically, they're using a naturally aspirated V12 to bring out as much power as a plug-in hybrid 296 GTB!
Anyway, that doesn't mean they won't adhere to the trends in the near future – or at least that's the opinion across the rumor mill and the imaginative realm of digital car content creators. More precisely, Cole Kessel, a virtual artist better known as colekessel_ on social media, has decided to give Ferrari a proper four-door model instead of the ultra-luxury super-SUV 'gibberish.'
This pixel master's vision comes in the form of a fast-looking four-door saloon that could stand proud at the top of the lineup alongside the Ferrari SF90 Stradale or the Ferrari Purosangue as it encodes the same design language thanks to similar treatment of the headlight styling. On the other hand, the profile seems in line with the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S, but we can't really make out if we're dealing with a proper four-door saloon or if the author tried to experiment with a five-door fastback style.
Hopefully, it's not the latter case – there's just one POV to judge this design project – because Ferrari would deserve to break the mold yet again by entering another tabu segment of the automotive industry. As for its fully electric powertrain, the CGI expert didn't give us any hints, but it's clear that a 2026 Ferrari four-door EV would need something astonishing to beat the Tesla Model S Plaid, Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, and especially the 1,234-hp Lucid Air Sapphire.
However, it's an open question if Ferrari will ever take that road – they don't like how electrics are extremely heavy because of their big battery packs. For reference, the Tesla Model S can reach almost 5k pounds, and the Lucid Air's top curb weight is no less than 5,236 pounds!
