Ferrari, according to company president Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, is also developing hybrid vehicles.
Ferrari is currently developing a vehicle that will use alternative energy sources and which will be based on its Formula 1 vehicle.
In Formula 1, Ferrari uses a Kinetic Energy Recycling System (KERS), designed to draw extra power from the brakes.
Ferrari said its hybrid will be available to the general public in 2015.
Montezemolo said he believes the public will embrace a hybrid or electric Ferrari since “It's the best sports car in the world and it will still fundamentally be a Ferrari."
