Ferrari is preparing to launch no less than six new models this year, as we as we mentioned a few weeks ago. Among the news, we suggested the possible arrival of a hybrid version of its first SUV, the Purosangue. And this hypothesis now seems to be gaining credibility.
Indeed, carspotter iliasabawi recently immortalized a Ferrari Purosangue prototype featuring an intriguing detail, to say the least: in addition to the traditional fuel filler flap, a second cut-out can be seen on the bodywork. This additional hatch could well conceal an electrical socket.
If confirmed, we could be seeing a Ferrari hybrid SUV in 2025, which would be added to the range already offered by the Italian manufacturer.
