Ferrari Elettrica: Maranello’s First-Ever Electric Supercar

Ferrari has finally done it. The legendary Italian marque has officially entered the world of electric mobility with its first-ever EV: the Ferrari Elettrica. But make no mistake, this isn’t just another quiet, battery-powered car. It’s a bold attempt to prove that electric power can still deliver a true Ferrari heartbeat.

A New Chapter for Maranello

The Elettrica marks a turning point for Ferrari. While many automakers have rushed into electrification, Ferrari has taken its time, perfecting every detail before revealing this engineering masterpiece. The result? An EV that promises breathtaking performance without losing the passion and emotion that define the brand.

Power That Speaks Volumes

Ferrari didn’t just buy electric motors, it built them. Every component of the Elettrica’s powertrain was developed in-house in Maranello, from the motors and inverters to the control systems.

Here’s what makes it special:

• Four-Motor Setup: Two motors at the front and two at the rear, each controlling a single wheel.

• Nearly 1,000 Horsepower: Enough to push this EV to around 310 km/h.

• 0–100 km/h in 2.5 Seconds: Lightning-fast acceleration that rivals any Ferrari before it.

• Rear-Wheel Mode: The front motors can disengage, allowing a pure rear-wheel driving experience.

This isn’t just power, it’s precision. The torque vectoring from each motor gives the Elettrica unmatched agility and control, redefining what an electric supercar can feel like.

The Heart Beneath the Surface

At the core lies a 122 kWh battery pack, cleverly shaped to fit the car’s design instead of just sitting beneath it. Some cells are beneath the floor, others behind the seats, a layout that ensures perfect 47:53 weight balance.

• Range: Around 530 km (WLTP)

• Charging: 800V system capable of 350 kW ultra-fast charging (80% in ~20 minutes)

• Modular Battery Design: Individual cells can be replaced or upgraded later

This isn’t just about range, it’s about building a future-ready Ferrari that remains thrilling and practical.

Engineering Emotion Into Electricity

One question haunted Ferrari engineers: how do you make an electric car feel like a Ferrari without the roar of a V8 or V12?

Their answer is pure genius. Instead of fake engine sounds, Ferrari developed a system that:

• Captures real vibrations from the electric motors

• Filters and amplifies them through the cabin

• Creates a sound that changes with throttle input, real, raw, and responsive

It’s like an electric guitar: authentic energy, just amplified. Add in simulated gear shifts through paddle controls, and you get a driving experience that still feels alive, not sterile.

Precision, Control, and Poise

The Elettrica features Ferrari’s latest 48V active suspension system, which constantly adjusts damping for each wheel. Combined with four-wheel steering and advanced torque vectoring, the car stays balanced and agile no matter how fast it’s driven.

Ferrari calls this setup “Full Active Control” and it aims to make the Elettrica feel lighter and sharper than any electric rival on the road.

What’s Next for Ferrari

Ferrari has yet to show the final design, but production will begin in 2026 at its new “e-building” facility in Maranello, a space created solely for electric components and assembly.

Importantly, Ferrari isn’t abandoning petrol engines. The Elettrica will join, not replace, its combustion and hybrid models, forming a new trio of performance choices:

• Combustion (V8 & V12)

• Hybrid

• Fully Electric (Elettrica)

This approach ensures that Ferrari’s future will be as diverse and thrilling as its past.

Power With a Pulse

Ferrari has always built machines that stir emotions, not just cars that move fast. The Elettrica is proof that electricity doesn’t have to mean silence. It can still deliver goosebumps, connection, and soul,  all wrapped in Maranello’s signature style.

As Ferrari steps into this new era, one thing is certain: the future of driving will still have a heartbeat.
