Luxury sports car manufacturer Ferrari has introduced two new extended warranty services, named Warranty Extension Hybrid and Power Hybrid, dedicated to owners of the SF90 Stradale, SF90 Spider, SF90 XX Stradale, SF90 XX Spider, 296 GTB and 296 GTS, as a first for the company’s plug-in hybrid (PHEV) cars.
With the Warranty Extension Hybrid programme, owners of a Prancing Horse PHEV, who already enjoy a five-year warranty on the hybrid components, will be able to avail a factory-backed, all-inclusive extended warranty that covers the entire car. If they extend the warranty up to the eighth year, Ferrari will replace the high-voltage battery pack (HVB) at no extra cost.
The two programmes are aimed at preserving the performance and excellence of the hybrid Ferrari sports cars over time. The services can be purchased in packages renewable for two to four years and can be activated by any dealer in the official Ferrari network, regardless of the car’s year of production.
Apparently, the cars that are now out of factory warranty, which covers the first three years of the car’s life, can activate the programmes after a technical inspection by Ferrari dealer personnel.
The new Power Hybrid allows clients instead to extend the factory warranty on all major powertrain components, including those related to the hybrid system, from year 8 to year 16, and again foresees the replacement, at no extra cost, of the high-voltage battery pack (HVB) in year 16.
Both programmes guarantee clients that, in case of future developments in battery technology, the replacement HVB will be a new, state-of-the-art component that will ensure the same performance as the original one.
As with Ferrari’s other extended warranty programmes, Warranty Extension Hybrid and Power Hybrid transfer to any eventual subsequent owner.
