Ferrari Confirms 2 New 2026 Models as Biofuel Tests Back Combustion Engines

3 articles · Updated · Motor1 · Aug 1

Summary

  • Two additional Ferrari models will arrive by the end of 2026, CEO Benedetto Vigna said, extending the marque’s product rollout beyond its current lineup.
  • Carbon-neutral biofuels have already been tested in Ferrari combustion engines, Vigna said, with the engines performing well as the company pursues emissions cuts without dropping internal-combustion technology.
  • Second-half 2026 launches could include an open-top F80 variant and a higher-performance 12Cilindri derivative, though Ferrari did not confirm names or specifications.
  • The update reinforces Ferrari’s multi-powertrain strategy: EVs remain in the plan, but Maranello is also keeping hybrids and combustion models viable through alternative fuels.
