Ferrari is preparing its first electric car Elettrica – up to 1000 hp and 530 km of range

Ferrari, famous for its roaring engines, is taking a step into a new era — the electric one. The Italian brand is preparing its first all-electric car, working under the working name Elettrica, which will be a combination of traditional Ferrari styling and advanced technology.

In contrast to the expected two-seat supercar, the Elettrica will be a grand tourer with full rear seats. In concept, it is closer to the GTC4Lusso and the Purosangue crossover, offering comfort and practicality without sacrificing dynamics.
The powertrain consists of four electric motors created at Ferrari’s Maranello factory. In Boost mode, they produce nearly 1,000 horsepower, providing acceleration to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. The main thrust goes to the rear wheels — there are two powerful 416-horsepower motors, capable of spinning up to 25,000 rpm. At the front are two smaller 141-hp motors that can be switched off to save energy. Top speed is — about 309 km/h.
The 122 kWh battery is also designed and manufactured by Ferrari. It is integrated into the chassis and most of the modules are placed behind the seats, ensuring a perfect weight distribution of 47% front and 53% rear. The 800-volt electrical system supports charging up to 350 kW. Claimed range — 530 kilometers on the European WLTP cycle (about 480 kilometers on the U.S. EPA cycle). The battery design is modular — it can be replaced in the future with a more advanced battery.

To compensate for its considerable weight (about 2,300 kg), Ferrari has equipped the Elettrica with an active suspension with electric motors on each shock absorber. This system controls body movements in real time, striking a balance between comfort and precise handling. Independent steering of the rear wheels is also used, making the car more maneuverable. The wheelbase is — 2960mm, which is relatively short for a GT-class car.
Ferrari chose not to use artificial engine sounds. Instead, engineers installed an accelerometer on the rear axle that picks up the natural vibrations of the electric motors and amplifies them in the cabin —like the sound of an electric guitar through an amplifier.

Another innovation — the Torque Shift Engagement system, which allows you to simulate a gear shift. The driver can use the paddles to change five traction and torque modes, while simulated «downshifting» creates the engine braking effect familiar to internal combustion engine aficionados.
The car’s design is being developed in collaboration with LoveFrom, a company founded by former Apple chief designer Jony Ive. The official look and price have yet to be revealed, but the Elettrica is expected to be one of the most expensive models in the brand’s history.
The full-fledged Elettrica will premiere in 2025, with sales starting in the first half of 2026. Ferrari is preparing not just an electric car, but a new interpretation of speed, sound and emotion — without a drop of gasoline.
