Pete Buttplug is first in line to buy one, because it’s so affordable for middle income Americans.

Some states might force you to add a lawnmower engine into the exhaust to get enough smoke coming out to register on your Smog Check.
With ZERO emissions, they might think you’re cheating and you’d fail!

Any chance we can buy that spare V12 though? Nope. In an earlier YouTube video they said the powertrain has already been sold.
With used blocks going for $20,000, and transmissions going for $12,000, seems to be that they should be able to fund the entire project by just selling the powertrain.

That specific car has been a prop for decades. The owner didn't want to upgrade it to a 600+ horsepower dual-charged engine because they have no intention of driving it to those extremes.
Put the electric motor in and toodle around to the shows.
To: Red Badger
I hope they are using an Italian electric motor, need to preserve that Italian whine.... 😂

And the same goes for just about every “sport” edition car on the road: wasted potential left behind by some idiot, along with his money.

Of course, whether this translates into a weight reduction after you take into account the batteries for the electric powertrain, remains to be seen.Of course. IMO once batteries are included I'd be very surprised if there are any weigh savings.
Besides, a Ferrari is a Ferreri because it sounds like a Ferrari.

“keeping the vehicle safe and reliable”
Those two words are completely missing from the Ferrari owners lexicon.
And can’t be translated into Italian.
Oh yes, and all Ferrari owners also appreciate bright lights and ergonomic controls laid out in a sensible pattern.

Ferrari owners care about their carbon emissions, first and foremost.
