The new Alfa Romeo Tonale will offer a variety of conventional and electrified powertrains when it comes to market. Significantly, Alfa sees plug-in hybrids as the top of its performance ladder, according to brand boss Tim Kuniskis.
On the all-electric side, there’s not just the Pininfarina Battista but the 1,005 horsepower Carmen, a retro-futuristic sports car that marks the revival of one of the classic “golden era” brands, Hispano Suiza. And, while not delivering quite the horsepower numbers of its hypercar, Aston Martin will go all-electric with another entry debuting in Geneva. Though officially dubbed a “concept,” its all-terrain show car teases the crossover that will be offered next year through its alternative Lagonda brand. That marque hasn’t been used on a new model in decades and, going forward, Lagonda will produce only BEVs.
As for Ferrari, the F8 Tributo model it is launching in Geneva uses a conventional twin-turbo V-8 for power. But company officials have confirmed they are developing their own new platform for future hybrid products.
As many battery-based models as there are on display at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, the count will only grow going forward, industry observers anticipate.
