Ferrari’s first full EV packs 735kW, 530km range, 310km/h top speed.

  • Ferrari’s first EV, the Elettrica, produces over 735kW from four in-house electric motors.
  • Its 122kWh structural battery delivers more than 530km of range and supports 350kW rapid charging.
  • Elettrica’s chassis uses 75% recycled aluminium, lowering emissions by 6.7 tonnes per car.

Ferrari has lifted the silk on its first all-electric production car: the Ferrari Elettrica, marking a historic leap for the Prancing Horse into zero-emission performance.

Revealed at the company’s recent Capital Markets Day 2025, the Elettrica is billed as a 1000-plus-horsepower statement of intent from Maranello.

A Ferrari first, but still pure Ferrari

Built almost entirely in-house, the Elettrica carries Ferrari DNA in its bones.

Both chassis and body are crafted from 75% recycled aluminium, saving roughly 6.7 tonnes of CO₂ per car.

The layout echoes a mid-engined berlinetta, with the driver pushed forward and the battery fully integrated into the floorpan, dropping the centre of gravity by 80mm versus a petrol-powered model. The new platform also debuts Ferrari’s first separate rear subframe, tuned to kill vibration without dulling feedback.

Four motors, endless grip

Underneath, the Elettrica runs two electric axles, each with twin permanent-magnet motors using Halbach-array rotors lifted from Formula One tech.

Together, they deliver over 735kW, flinging the 2300kg coupe from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and on to 310km/h. The front axle contributes 210kW, while the rear packs 620kW, with combined torque peaking at 11,500Nm at the wheels.

Ferrari’s Torque Shift Engagement system lets drivers step through five power levels using the right-hand paddle - an electric nod to the brand’s trademark crescendo of acceleration.

Sound and sensation

Instead of faking an exhaust note, Ferrari has engineered an “authentic voice” for its EV. A sensor on the rear axle picks up the powertrain’s mechanical vibrations and amplifies them like an electric guitar, silent when cruising, visceral when provoked.

Drivers can toggle between Range, Tour and Performance modes on the new eManettino, with the familiar right-hand Manettino still governing chassis dynamics.

Ferrari says the 122kWh battery offers over 530km of range and 350kW fast charging. Add active suspension, torque vectoring and four-wheel steering, and this electric stallion looks poised to redefine what “Ferrari-like” means in the age of volts and electrons.

The full design reveal and world premiere for the Ferrari Elettrica will follow in 2026.
