The Prancing Horse marque never fails to surprise and delight. Although no new Ferrari models were introduced in August, the Italian brand bid farewell to two icons: the SF90 Stradale and the 812 GTS. Their departure was foreshadowed in Q2 sales reports, where Ferrari alluded to the declining popularity of coupe and convertible supercars.

As of June, Ferrari had delivered 7,066 vehicles, a 1% increase from the previous year. They remain busy fulfilling a significant number of advance orders for the upcoming year, primarily for the new 12-cylinder model, which succeeds the 812 GTS.
According to Ferrari’s communications with the media, the brand remains committed to low-slung sports cars, even if it means fluctuating sales figures. The SF90 Stradale’s replacement could be a plug-in hybrid or all-electric supercar.
Motor1 reports that Ferrari has been testing a prototype with a similar chassis to the Maserati Levante, fitted with four faux exhaust tips. This could be our first glimpse of the 2025 model, set to replace the SF90 Stradale.

The Ford GT and Bugatti Veyron, equally stunning in their presence, made an entrance as well, although they were brought in by a recovery vehicle.
