‘Ferrari’s version of saving the planet involves 986 horsepower and a carbon footprint shaped like Italy.’
Once upon a time, ‘hybrid’ meant Prius. Now it means V12s, electric front axles and 0–60 in 2.3 seconds.
Ferrari and Lamborghini are no longer just about noise and nonsense – they’ve added volts to the va-va-voom.
From LaFerrari to Revuelto, the hybrid era isn’t soft. It’s savagely fast.
This isn’t saving the planet. It’s setting it on fire.

Ferrari’s hybrid foray started with a whisper, then roared:
LaFerrari (2013): a hybrid hypercar with a 950 bhp V12 and F1-style KERS.
Not eco-minded – just faster, meaner, and lag-free.
Now we have the SF90 Stradale – 986 bhp from a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors.
Lamborghini, once the V12-loving Luddite, now dances with electrons:
Sián FKP 37 (2019): hybrid V12 with a supercapacitor – no plug, just 819 Italian horses.
Revuelto (2023): 1,001 bhp, a V12 howler, and three e-motors.
It still revs to 9,500.
Why the electric flirtation?
Emissions, yes. But torque fill, traction, AWD trickery? Even better.
It makes Alpine Road drama less understeer and more ballet.
Batteries = heavy. But clever packaging and carbon tubs = svelte and savage.
Ferrari SF90 weighs less than a Bentley Continental. Let that sink in.
Still exotic. Just electrified.
This isn’t tree-hugging. It’s evolution at 200 mph.
‘These aren’t hybrids. These are mutant stallions with a caffeine addiction and a bad attitude.’
