What's new
Ferrari Elettrica, the first fully electric road car from Maranello, is due to make its world debut in summer 2026. Elettrica is only the working name and simply means “electric” in Italian, while the real model name will not be revealed until next year. Before the complete car appears, Ferrari will show the interior, developed with the design agency LoveFrom.
The car brings together more than a decade of Ferrari work on electrified vehicle technology, a path that began in Formula One in 2009 and later produced very fast hybrid supercars. For this EV, Ferrari says almost nothing major will be taken off the shelf. The key components have been developed in-house in Maranello and will be manufactured by Ferrari to keep control of performance and character.
Prototypes have already been seen testing several times, wearing similar camouflage and using some body panels from a Maserati Levante. Even with the disguise, the test cars showed flared front wings with a more streamlined profile than the Purosangue. The front bumper has an open, aggressive layout, presumably to feed cooling air to the battery and motors.
- Working name: Ferrari Elettrica.
- World debut: summer 2026.
- The interior will be shown before the final name.
- The cabin was designed with input from LoveFrom.
Specifications and technology
The Elettrica uses four independent electric motors, with two mounted on each axle. Total output will be just over 1,000bhp, roughly the same as the new Ferrari 849 Testarossa. In Launch mode, the car will deliver a combined 11,500Nm of torque, while 0-62mph will take 2.5 seconds.
Top speed is set at 193mph. The compact e-motor design is derived from Ferrari Formula One technology and uses water cooling plus thermal conductivity resin to manage heat. Inside the front e-axle is a new disconnect device that can fully decouple the motors from the front wheels when extra traction is not required, such as motorway cruising.
Powertrain, battery and chassis
The front-axle disconnect system can engage or disengage the two motors in 500 milliseconds, and Ferrari says it is 70 per cent lighter than previous versions. The four motors will also provide torque vectoring, controlling the speed of each motor to improve agility in corners. Drivers will choose Range, Tour and Performance modes via an eManettino panel on the steering wheel, altering power delivery, traction control and whether the car runs as rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Ferrari has also created a Torque Shift Engagement strategy to give the electric powertrain a more involving feel. The company does not want to imitate its V12 or V8 soundtracks, and it has not created a fully digital sound. Instead, an accelerometer in the rear e-axle casing detects vibrations from the motors, then that signal is amplified and sent into the cabin.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|
| Power | over 1,000bhp |
| Torque | 11,500Nm in Launch mode |
| 0-62mph | 2.5sec |
| Top speed | 193mph |
| Battery | 122kWh |
| Range | more than 330 miles |
The chassis is made from recycled aluminium, which Ferrari says saves 6.7 tonnes of CO2 for every car built. All battery modules sit between the front and rear axles, with most mounted as low as possible in the chassis, giving a centre of gravity 80mm lower than that of an equivalent petrol car. The battery has a capacity of 122kWh, a large cooling plate runs beneath the whole pack, and the claimed range is more than 330 miles.
The lower centre of gravity allowed Ferrari to develop the active suspension system first used on the Purosangue and then on the F80. Ferrari has lengthened the pitch of the recirculating ball screw inside the damper by 20 per cent so it can better absorb impacts such as potholes. At the rear, the Elettrica uses Ferrari’s first separate subframe, designed to reduce noise, vibration and harshness without sacrificing driving dynamics or adding too much weight.
The regenerative braking system can generate up to 0.68g of stopping force. Even so, Ferrari has fitted a newly developed carbon-ceramic braking system from Brembo. The hardware has to deal with a 2.3-tonne EV, while torque vectoring and the low-mounted battery are intended to help the car feel lighter than its mass suggests.
Markets, prices and availability
The world debut is scheduled for summer 2026, but Ferrari has not announced an exact day. The final name will not be revealed until next year. The interior will be shown first, while prices, sales markets, trim levels and delivery timing have not been disclosed.
The technical preview refers to the Rimac Nevera and BMW’s VDX concept when describing the four-motor layout, and to the Ferrari 849 Testarossa for a comparison of power output. These are not named as market rivals for the Elettrica. Ferrari also refers to the Purosangue and F80 because they relate to the development path of the active suspension system.
Verdict
The Elettrica is being shaped as an electric Ferrari through its motors, torque control, chassis, braking system and the way it turns motor vibrations into cabin sound. The headline facts are more than 1,000bhp, a 122kWh battery, more than 330 miles of range and a debut window set for summer 2026, with pricing and versions still to come.
