The automotive industry is changing gears, and Ferrari has decided to accelerate into the future with the launch of its first 100% electric model: the Ferrari Elettrica.
This supercar, scheduled for delivery in late 2025, marks a milestone in the history of the Italian brand, which for decades has been synonymous with roaring engines and limitless speed.
Uncompromising electric power
The Elettrica will feature four electric motors, one per wheel, offering an estimated combined power of 1128 HP, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 310 km/h. The all-wheel drive with electronic control on each wheel ensures a precise and immersive driving experience.
Additionally, it incorporates a 122 kWh and 880 V structural battery, integrated directly into the chassis, which improves the vehicle’s rigidity and allows for a range of over 530 km per charge, compatible with 350 kW ultra-fast stations.
Sustainable design and sensory experience
Ferrari has opted for sustainability without sacrificing exclusivity. The chassis and body are made from 75% recycled aluminum, reducing 6.7 tons of CO₂ per unit produced.
Regarding sound, one of the most sensitive aspects for fans, the Elettrica does not simulate the classic roar: it uses accelerometers on the rear axle to amplify the real vibrations of the powertrain, creating a unique auditory experience.
The driver will be able to choose between five power levels via panels on the steering wheel, modulating the sensation of continuous acceleration, a distinctive feature of Ferrari sports cars.
Strategic electrification: evolution without rupture
The Elettrica is part of Ferrari’s plan for 2030 to have its range composed of 40% hybrids, 40% internal combustion, and 20% electric, a downward revision from the previous goal of 40% electric.
The brand maintains a cautious stance towards market evolution, recognizing that electrification is an addition, not a transition, as noted by CEO Benedetto Vigna.
Ferrari has been developing electric technologies for over 15 years, with a background in Formula 1 and hybrid models since 2013. The Elettrica does not break with its legacy: it expands it.
A market in tension: tradition vs. innovation
While Ferrari moves forward, other brands like Lamborghini have postponed their electric models until 2029, and Porsche faces challenges balancing demand between China and the West.
Ferrari, on the other hand, benefits from less regulatory pressure and the possibility of offering models with synthetic fuels, a viable option for its clientele.
New generations, new expectations
The Elettrica also responds to the interest of young and wealthy buyers, who seek to combine prestige, performance, and sustainability. Experts like Andy Palmer and Phil Dunne agree that Ferrari’s real challenge is to preserve the sensations that have defined its history, now under a new electric architecture.
