New Ferrari supercar with a V6 hybrid powertrain in the works

The new Ferrari supercar will be the first model after the 'Dino' to feature a V6 engine.

Ferrari is said to be working on a new mid-engined hybrid supercar. The new model from Ferrari is expected to come powered by a V6 engine paired with a plug-in hybrid system.

Ahead of its global unveil, the new Ferrari supercar, codenamed 'F171', has been spotted testing at Maranello, Italy. The spy pics showcase a heavily camouflaged Ferrari revealing very little design details of the upcoming hybrid model. However, the prototype is said to be carrying near-production ready bodywork, along with a set of fake exhaust pipes at the rear.

Coming to its powertrain, reports suggest that the upcoming Ferrari supercar will be powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine paired with a single electric motor. The supercar is expected to come with a rear-wheel-drive system only; unlike the SF90 Stradale which features an all-wheel-drive system.

The exact power output of the hybrid powertrain is yet to be revealed, although reports do suggest it to be in the range of 700 BHP. This V6 hybrid powertrain will also be used to power a number of future products from the brand, including Ferrari's first-ever SUV, the Purosangue.

The upcoming supercar from the Italian brand is expected to be unveiled sometime later this year, with an international launch in early-2022. Once introduced, the new supercar will be the first V6-powered Ferrari model since the 'Dino'. It will take on rivals such as the McLaren Artura.
