488 test mule

Ferrari working on a new hybrid is no novel news as a 488 mule was spotted testing in Europe, but the debut set for later this month came as a complete surprise. For instance, the test mule spotted is based on a 488, but the upcoming supercar according to Ferrari will be a top-of-the-line hybrid with supercar performance and true beauty. The only feasible explanation is that the brand is keeping the vehicle design a secret, explaining the 488 mule story.

Back in February, Ferrari's chief technology officer Michael Leiters confirmed that the new hybrid will produce more power than the 488 Pista and that deliveries will begin from 2020. For reference, the track-focussed Pista itself makes 710PS and 770Nm of torque from its 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8. On another note, though, the brand also hinted that the year 2021/2022 will witness the last Maserati with a Ferrari heart. Stay tuned for more news on the upcoming fezza.
