The first electric Ferrari has a date: spring 2026. After four years of development, the project is now complete. The car is ready and will not undergo modifications. In Maranello, every detail has been designed to offer pure sports performance, but with a totally electric heart.
This is not just a new model, but a historic step for the Prancing Horse. For the first time, the Modena-based company launches itself into the world of zero-emission cars, and does so without distorting its identity. Indeed, bringing the technology developed in Formula 1 onto the road.
Four electric motors, 1,000 horsepower and 2.5 seconds for 0-100
The new electric Ferrari is powered by four independent motors, two on the front axle (285 HP each) and two on the rear (842 HP total), for a total that exceeds 1,000 HP. The traction is all-wheel drive, but can become rear thanks to the function disconnectdesigned to reduce consumption on the motorway.
Track performance: 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, 310 km/h top speed and a total torque of 8,000 Nm in mode Performance Launch. There is no shortage of motorsport electronics: inverters mounted directly on the axles, efficiency of up to 93% and a power density of 3.23 kW/kg. All to ensure maximum reactivity with minimal energy waste.
Whoever drives this Ferrari will be able to choose between three modes:
A 122 kWh battery made in Maranello and up to 530 km of autonomy
The energy heart of the electric Ferrari is a 122 kWh battery, positioned in the center of the chassis. Made up of 15 modules and 210 cells, it uses nickel-manganese-cobalt technology and reaches an energy density of approximately 195 Wh/kg.
With a declared autonomy of 530 km, it can be recharged quickly: 20 minutes are enough to recover 70 kWh from an ultra-fast 350 kW charging station.
The chassis is designed to be light but resistant: it is made with 75% recycled aluminium, helping to reduce CO₂ emissions from the production process by up to 6.7 tonnes for each car.
The driving dynamics are also treated in detail: thanks to the latest generation 48V active suspension, already seen on models such as Purosangue, comfort is guaranteed, as is cornering and control on the road.
Outstanding design, lowered center of gravity and a sound that comes from the engine
On the external design, Ferrari still maintains secrecy. We only know that the new electric will have a wheelbase of 2,960 mm, will weigh around 2,300 kg and will have a center of gravity 80 mm lower than a traditional Ferrari. This guarantees greater agility, despite the significant weight.
But the real novelty is the sound: Ferrari has chosen not to imitate the noise of petrol engines. No fake sound, no movie soundtrack. Instead, the car will naturally amplify vibrations from the electric powertrain, thanks to a high-precision sensor mounted on the rear axle. The result will be an authentic, dynamic sound that changes depending on the road surface and driving style. A bit like an electric guitar, which sounds different depending on how you play it.
Inside the cockpit, the driver will be able to hear these variations in real time: the sounds will change in the city, on the motorway and above all on the track, between bends, straights and curbs.
The first electric from Maranello was born with a precise idea: to be faithful to the Ferrari spirit, even without pistons. The driving experience remains central, with the same attention to performance, emotions and technical care that have always characterized the brand. Except now, instead of petrol, there is a battery designed to last and run.
