Ferrari has officially revealed the core technology for its first fully electric vehicle, marking a historic step for the 78-year-old Italian sports car manufacturer. During a private event at its Maranello headquarters, the company showcased the production-ready chassis of the model, named the “Elettrica,” which features an integrated battery pack and electric motor.
While the completed car is scheduled for a global premiere in 2026, key specifications were confirmed. The Elettrica will be a four-door model with a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph) and a driving range of at least 530 km. Notably, the car will feature a specially designed sound system that amplifies actual vibrations from its powertrain to create a unique auditory experience, rather than simulating a traditional engine note.
Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna emphasized that the electric model is an addition to the brand’s lineup, not a replacement for its combustion-engine and hybrid cars. “The EV is an addition, not a transition,” Vigna stated. The company’s updated business plan targets 20% of its models to be fully electric by 2030, down from its previous 40% goal, reflecting a broader industry adjustment in the pace of the EV transition.
The Elettrica’s chassis will be constructed from 75% recycled aluminum, and its battery is fully integrated into the floor to lower the center of gravity for enhanced performance. The vehicle is expected to carry a starting price of at least 500,000 euros.
This strategic move allows Ferrari to cater to a new generation of wealthy buyers interested in electric vehicles while leveraging its brand strength to offer a distinct, high-performance EV experience that sets it apart from mainstream electric cars.
