Ferrari unveiled the production-ready chassis and specifications of its first-ever fully electric (EV) model known as the Ferrari Elettrica during the Capital Markets Day 2025. This model marks the Prancing Horse’s entry into the EV world of the automotive industry.
According to the Italian marque, the Elettrica is a culmination of over a decade of electrification research which began with the 2009 Formula 1 hybrid system. The electrification research was also built upon innovations from the 599 HY-KERS prototype, LaFerrari, SF90 Stradale, and 296 GTB.
At its core, the Ferrari Elettrica is equipped with two in-house developed electric axles that comprise two permanent magnet synchronous motors, or as Ferrari calls them, electric engines. The front axle produces 210 kW, while the rear generates 620 kW, and in terms of torque, both axles achieve 3,500 Nm and 8,000 Nm respectively.
Meanwhile, for the electric engines as the company calls them, when achieving 30,000 rpm at the front and 25,500 rpm at the rear, they produce 310 kW and 105 kW respectively. This allows the machine to complete the century sprint in 2.5 seconds before reaching a top speed of 310 km/h.
Additionally, the front axle features a disconnect system that separates the electric motors from the wheels to improve efficiency. In highway mode, the car runs on rear-wheel drive for better energy use. When extra traction is needed, the system automatically activates the front motors for all-wheel drive. In the other modes, the Ferrari Elettrica operates in all-wheel drive at all times.
The electric engines are powered by a 122 kWh battery that was also designed and assembled in Maranello and has a 195 Wh/kg energy density. Rated at 880 volts, the platform supports 350 kW rapid charging and offers a range of 530 km. Besides that, the battery is integrated directly into the floorpan which, according to the automaker, enhances balance and handling.
Now coming to the chassis, it has a compact wheelbase of 2,960 mm and a weight distribution divided into 47% in the front and 53% in the rear. Additionally, for the first time, a separate rear subframe has been fitted by the automaker, which is claimed to help reduce noise and vibration while maintaining the marque’s signature handling precision.
The Elettrica also features Ferrari’s third-generation 48V active suspension system, which continuously adapts damping to optimise comfort and control. Combined with torque vectoring and four-wheel steering, the system is said to ensure razor-sharp cornering and impeccable ride quality.
One of Ferrari’s most iconic traits is its unmistakable engine roar. But with the Elettrica, Ferrari has reimagined the sound for the electric era. Instead of mimicking combustion engines, the Elettrica produces an authentic tone drawn directly from its components. This is done through a precision sensor on the rear axle that captures the natural vibrations of the powertrain, which are amplified and projected, creating a genuine and distinctive Ferrari sound.
The Ferrari Elettrica is slated for a global debut in 2026. However, before that, in early 2026, there will be a preview unveiling the look and feel of the interior design.
