Ferrari Elettrica: Everything we know about Maranello’s first EV

October 10, 2025 Matt Allan

Ferrari’s first electric model will offer more than 1,000bhp, more than 300 miles of range and an ‘authentic’ synthesised engine sound.

The first details of the Ferrari Elettrica were revealed at its 2025 Capital Markets Day. There was no hint of what the car will look like but plenty of technical details about what the Italian supercar brand described as a milestone in its multi-energy strategy.

Scheduled to go on sale in late 2026, the Elettrica is a radical departure for a firm long associated with howling V12s and meaty V8s. Ferrari acknowledged this, saying: The strategy leading Ferrari towards the first electric model in its history was clear from the outset: that a model such as this would only be introduced once the technology available could ensure the superlative performance and authentic driving experience befitting the values of the brand.”

According to Maranello, this model is now ready to go into production, so here’s everything we know so far.

Ferrari Elettrica power and range

Performance is at the heart of every Ferrari, so it’s no surprise that the Elettrica packs some serious numbers.

The Elettrica uses a four-motor all-wheel-drive setup to deliver in excess of 1,000bhp. Ferrari hasn’t given a final combined output but says that the two motors on the rear axle produce a total of 831bhp and up to 5,900lb ft (yes, 5,000!) of torque. These are supplemented by a further 281bhp and 2,581lb ft from the front axle’s two smaller motors.

In all, they give the Elettrica a 0-62mph time of just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 192mph.

In the name of “efficiency”, the Elltrica’s front motors will deactivate in Range driving mode, leaving the car as a rear-wheel-drive. In the two other driving modes – Tour and Performance – the Elettrica is permanently all-wheel-drive.

Along with the driving modes, shift-style paddles on the steering column allow the driver to move between different levels of torque and power delivery, and to adjust braking to replicate the feel of an ICE engine braking.

Powering the motors, the Ferrari Elettrica uses a massive 122kWh battery (gross), integrated into the chassis structure. This has been designed to deliver repeatable performance rather than maximum range but Ferrari says it should deliver more than 329 miles on a charge, and charge at up to 350kW. It also claims the battery offers the greatest energy density of any electric car on the market.

The entire powertrain, from battery to e-axles has been developed and built in-house in Italy. Ferrari’s engineers drew on their experience in F1 and with the hybrid drive systems which started with the 599 HY-KERS prototype in 2010 and developed through the LaFerrari, SF90 Stradale, 296 GTB and 849 Testarossa.

Topping things off, the Elettrica features an “authentic voice unique to the electric engine”. Rather than mimic a petrol engine, this uses sensors to pick up vibrations from the powertrain and amplify them like the pick-up on an electric guitar. This, says Ferrari, only makes itself heard when “functionally useful”, providing feedback to the driver and enhancing the sensation of dynamic response.

Ferrari was keen to point out the many challenges posed by trying to deliver its new all-electric powertrain at the same time as retaining its famous driving feel.

Huge effort has gone into saving weight while delivering refinement and comfort suitable for a grand tourer. Among the innovations are a new “elasticised” rear subframe housing the rear e-axles, and the use of hollow one-piece casting for chassis elements.

Allied to that, the Elettrica uses the third generation of Ferrari’s 48V active suspension. This was developed for the Purosangue, refined for the F80 and tweaked again for the Elettrica. Ferrari says this will take ride comfort and body control to new heights and help deliver a true Ferrari driving experience without compromising on comfort.

Torque vectoring allows the Elettrica to manage its output almost instantaneously to suit driving conditions, and four-wheel steering brings more precise control at any speed.

In combination, Ferrari says this all makes the Elettrica the first Ferrari with actuators offering control over vertical, longitudinal and lateral forces in all dynamic conditions. This, it says, allows it ”to deliver the driving thrills typical of a car bearing the Prancing Horse badge”.

Ferrari Elettrica design

The look of the new Elettrica is being kept under wraps but we do know it’s going to be a four-door, four-seater.

Ferrari says it features an “extremely short wheelbase” of 2.96m, with short overhangs and a front-forward cabin with the driving position close to the front axle. This will allow for the “purest dynamic feedback” and for GT-like accessibility and comfort.

Early test mules for the Elettrica ran on Maserati Levante chassis, suggesting the Elettrica may be a similar size to the V12-powered Purosangue crossover.
