FYI: Ferrari is transitioning with new models replacing outgoing legends like the SF90 Stradale and 812 GTS, signaling a brand evolution.
Ferrari Prepares for the Future: New Models to Replace Discontinued Classics
Ferrari enthusiasts will soon have to bid farewell to some iconic models. The SF90 Stradale and 812 GTS are no longer available, and the 812 Competizione and Roma Coupe are also nearing the end of their journeys. However, with Ferrari’s commitment to innovation, a wave of new and exciting models is on the horizon to take their place.
Ferrari recently provided an update concerning the availability of several models while announcing its first-half financial results for the year. The Roma Coupe and the limited-edition 812 Competizione are approaching the end of their product lifecycles. Meanwhile, the SF90 Stradale and 812 GTS have already been phased out.
End of the Road for Roma and SF90 Stradale
The Roma Coupe, which made its debut in late 2019, is approaching the end of its typical five-year model lifespan. While Ferrari has yet to disclose plans for a direct successor, the recently launched open-top Roma Spider might pave the way for new developments.
Likewise, the SF90 Stradale, introduced in 2019, is anticipated to see a successor in the near future. To commemorate the end of the series, Ferrari released a limited-edition SF90 XX Stradale last year. Spy shots suggest that new prototypes are already being tested, hinting at an imminent successor.

812 Line Evolution
The discontinuation of the 812 GTS and the forthcoming end of the 812 Competizione signify a transformation in Ferrari’s V-12 grand tourer lineup. The newly unveiled 12Cilindri will replace the current 812 series, available in both coupe and spider variants. The 12Cilindri Spider is set to succeed the 812 GTS directly.
Launched in 2021 as a hardcore, limited-edition farewell to the 812 series, the 812 Competizione is nearing its end, as Ferrari indicated.
What’s Next for Ferrari?
Ferrari has an eventful year ahead, with the anticipated launch of the LaFerrari successor within the next six months. By 2025, Ferrari is poised to introduce its first electric vehicle, likely an SUV, followed by another electric SUV shortly after. To meet the rising production demands, Ferrari has expanded its Maranello headquarters, adding the e-Building, which will manufacture EVs alongside traditional petrol and plug-in hybrid models.
Ferrari continually evolves its lineup to reflect cutting-edge technology and customer preferences. The departure of classic models like the SF90 Stradale, 812 GTS, and Roma Coupe marks the end of an era and the dawn of new innovations, keeping Ferrari at the forefront of luxury and performance automotive engineering.
