Ferrari buyers spent quite a sum of money for personalised features. These include options like interior fabrics to unique coloured brake callipers. In terms of popularity of models, the new Portofino M led the sales numbers. The Portofino sits at the entry level of the Ferrari stable. Further, demand for the hybrid supercar SF90 was high as well.

Ferrari’s first-ever SUV model – The Purosangue
2023 is also an important year for Prancing Horse. Reason being the Purosangue SUV. Ferrari is a little bit late to the SUV party. However, other brands have had good success with the SUV segment in recent times. Infact, Ferrari has already paused new booking for the SUV as the existing backlog has already extended beyond 2024.

Meanwhile, in other news, Ferrari has been working on a gas thruster system in their cars. The gas thrusters will not only improve the pace but also the airflow across the aero bits of the car, making it stick to the road when cornering. This is just one of the innovative approaches taken by Ferrari in its race to road-car philosophy. Ferrari expects these thrusters to improve the car’s speed, acceleration, etc. These thrusters will also push the air between the car’s floor and the road surface. This will eventually lead to an even more downforce.
