Ferrari announces its first EV: Mechanical underpinnings of all-electric Ferrari Elettrica detailed for the first time

---

The world’s leading proprietor of bedroom wall real-estate, Ferrari, has confirmed the development of its first all-electric model, known as the Elettrica. 

A monumental reveal for one of the world’s most pedigree sportscar brands, Ferrari executive chairman John Elkann described the Elettrica as “ [an affirmation of] our will to progress by uniting the discipline of technology, the creativity of design and the craft of manufacturing.”

The Prancing Horse has so-far unveiled only the underbody of its new Elettrica, which integrates a colossal 122kWh battery, four electric motors (one at each corner), 48V active suspension, and wheelbase of 2960mm — 56mm longer than a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo for context. 

It will produce a combined claimed output of more than 1000cv (746kW), says Ferrari, with the Elettrica capable of sprinting from 0-100km/hr in a rapid 2.5 seconds, and reaching a top speed of 310km/hr.

The two electric motors at the front axle produce 210kW and send an incredible 3500Nm to the wheels, while the rear axle motors produce 620kW and deliver up to 8000Nm to the wheels. Incredible figures for a four-motor system which weighs just 194kg. 

The Elettrica’s EV system is built on 800V electronic architecture, which can rapid DC charge at a peak of 350kW. Range is quoted to be more than 530km. More details on AC and DC charge times and AC peak will be revealed in the first quarter of 2026.

The Elettrica has a center of gravity 80mm lower than an equivalent combustion-powered Ferrari, engineered with a weight distribution of 47-percent front and 53 percent rear. 

Finite details of the Elettrica’s body are not yet available. What is known is that the finished car will weigh around 2300kg, and that the body will be manufactured with 75-percent recycled aluminium. 

We expect the body to have four doors – being that Elettrica is confirmed to seat four passengers. 

Ferrari boasts that the design process of its new EV has resulted in 60 new patents for the brand. The Elettrica will no doubt pave the way for future Ferrari EVs, with the Italian company already confirming that its product lineup will consist of 20-percent EV by 2030.

So, will Ferrari be yet another brand to pump artificial sound into the cabin for its electric? We can happily report that this will not be the case.

Ferrari has explained in great detail that it will amplify sound generated by the rear-axle electric motors “like amplifying an electric guitar”, and send this sound into the cabin. 

The system automatically adjusts the volume of this amplified sound, prioritising silence when commuting and “offering dialogue” when given the berries.
