Even Ferrari’s high-octane, fuel-swilling, gasoline-powered past is subject to the passage of time. As a result, the iconic Maranello manufacturer plans to produce electric and hybrid cars in the future. Ferrari, however, claims that it is aware of the worries that owners of exotic cars have about the EV batteries’ shelf life. As a result, the “Ferrari Forever” initiative pledges to provide replacement batteries to Ferrari owners for many years to come.
EV owners may change their batteries without worrying according to the “Ferrari Forever” plan.
Since the so-called “hypercar holy trinity” drew the attention of auto fans, hybrid performance nameplates have found a place in the current market. Ferrari competed against the McLaren P1 and the Porsche 918 Spyder with the F1-inspired LaFerrari and its electric components. Each one marked the beginning of the hybrid hypercar era and cost at least $1 million.
After around ten years, the performance automobile market is flooded with hybrid and internal combustion engine variants. The new Ferrari F80, 296 GTB, 296 GTS, SF90, and SF90 Spider are all hybrids. The hybridized Ferrari vehicles do, however, include battery units with best-if-used-by dates, just like any other EV architecture.

Owners of plug-in hybrids won’t be without an EV battery supply, though, thanks to the new “Ferrari Forever” scheme. Indeed, a replaceable battery unit is already included in the LaFerrari, which was initially produced in 2013. Even better, the LaFerrari’s high-voltage replacement battery is said to work with the current setup.
This also applies to the 2026 Ferrari F80, the newest model in the series. The new Ferrari F80 combines a twin-turbocharged V6 engine with three electric motors to produce about 1,200 horsepower. As a result, the hypercar with active aero has a comparatively small 2.3 kWh battery. It will eventually need a high-voltage replacement, regardless of how little it is.
Naturally, the most recent electric Ferrari cars are quite expensive. Only the wealthiest vehicle collectors can afford a F80, much like with the brand’s most sought-after gas-powered supercars of the past. In particular, the 2026 Ferrari F80 limited edition will start at almost $3.1 million.
