Ferrari prepares electric car to challenge Tesla
Inside the electric car market Tesla has enjoyed a hegemony that is difficult to challenge, especially when the Model S is able to reach speeds worthy of the world's most powerful supercars. However, the brand of Elon Musk will soon have the Ferrari competition to worry about.Whoever revealed that Ferrari is building an electric car was Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne during the North American International Motor Show currently taking place in Detroit."If there is an electric supercar to be built, then Ferrari will be the first. People are impressed with what Tesla did with the supercar. I'm not trying to downplay what Elon did but I think it's something accessible to all of us, "the Marchionne said according to Bloomberg.No further details have been advanced about this Ferrari electric model, with the brand executive indicating that it will arrive before 2020. There has also been room to advance that an SUV model is on the way, a category many find it difficult to associate with Ferrari. "You have to drive like a Ferrari," said Marchionne.
