Ferrari Confirms Two New Models for Late 2026 Launch Plans

Walk into a Ferrari showroom today and you could be told there's nothing left to sell. Not because production stopped. Because the order books are full.

On its latest earnings call, CEO Benedetto Vigna sketched a clear game plan from Maranello: keep demand hot, keep volumes tight, and roll out a couple of new models before the year is out. That means more exclusivity, not more metal on the road.

Both the 296 Speciale and the entire 12Cilindri family have been fully allocated, and the 12Cilindri Manuale's 1,499 units are already claimed.

Ferrari is trimming production of older lines to preserve that scarcity. Shipments of the 296 GTS, Roma Spider, and the SF90 XX slipped in the last quarter as they move into planned phase-out stages. The volume lost from those departures is being absorbed by ramped-up deliveries of newer models such as the Amalfi, the 849 Testarossa, and the fixed-head F80.

Two mysteries that make every test day feel like a treasure hunt

So what will Maranello unveil next? Executives stayed coy during the call. But the clues are obvious to anyone who follows the marque closely. One likely candidate is an open-top version of the F80, a drop-top that would use the coupe's carbon-heavy architecture and keep the tri-motor V6 hybrid drivetrain intact. Expect a removable hardtop panel and, if collectors demand it, a soft-top option too.

Rumor mills suggest the F80 Aperta would be extremely limited, possibly around 399 units, making it rarer than the 799-unit coupe. Scarcity is part of the product story here; rarity fuels desirability, and desirability protects residuals.

The other headline is probably a sharper 12Cilindri variant. Thought to wear a GTO or MM badge, this version would be the 12Cilindri's track-focused peak. Aerodynamic revisions front and rear, targeted weight savings, and a bump over the standard 830 cavalli vapore (819 horsepower) are all on the wish list. Whatever the name, it will be aimed at buyers who want the most extreme interpretation of Ferrari's grand tourer philosophy.

And then there's Luce, Ferrari's first series-production electric model. The quad-motor liftback already sold out its 2026 global allocations, with demand from China stretching deliveries into 2027. An EV from Maranello was always going to be a headline act. The surprise is how quickly collectors embraced it.

Ferrari's tight-lipped approach is deliberate. Executives rarely name new models ahead of time, and that secrecy helps prime the market. Limited editions sell out before their public debut. That's not an accident. It's strategy.

So where does that leave buyers and enthusiasts? If you want one of these next releases, don't wait to think. If you want to watch from afar, enjoy the drama. Either way, Maranello is shaping the final act of 2026 with scarcity, spectacle, and a very specific idea about what a modern Ferrari should be.
