Ferrari’s EV Unveil

Ferrari’s First EV

It looks like Ferrari is taking the electrifying leap into the future with a new electric vehicle, set to wow fans around the world in 2026. If you’ve been waiting to see what the Italian powerhouse is cooking up, the wait is almost over. However, the full reveal will take a little longer than expected. The brand has announced that the debut of what they’re calling the “technological heart” of their first electric vehicle (EV), known as the Elettrica, will happen in October. The complete reveal of the car itself won’t be until next spring.

Tech Details

Ferrari remains tight-lipped about the performance specifics, leaving power output and driving range details up in the air for now. What is clear, though, is that this car’s heart will be thoroughly Italian. The battery, electric motors, and inverters will be crafted in the heart of Maranello, part of Ferrari’s legendary manufacturing base. This homegrown approach means the company is eschewing third-party parts in favor of meticulously engineered components built in-house.

More To Come

While details on the car’s features are sparse, recent spy shots suggest a fresh design direction. These prototypes blend parts from existing models, presenting a silhouette similar to the Purosangue but on a slightly smaller scale. This suggests Ferrari aims for something between a sports car and a sleek SUV, likely maximizing both the aerodynamics and internal space of the Elettrica.

Availability

Initial customer deliveries are slated for October 2026, as confirmed by CEO Benedetto Vigna. The wait might feel long, but given the engineering prowess and attention to detail Ferrari is known for, plus the leap toward an EV future, it could well be worth it.

Comparing the Drive

Driving a Ferrari is an experience like no other, and expectations are high for how their EV will feel behind the wheel. Traditionalists might raise an eyebrow, given Ferrari’s reverence for the combustion engine’s roar. The company promises that the Elettrica will still stir emotions, a clear nod to maintaining the visceral excitement of older models. Compared to EVs on the market, the Elettrica’s drive is expected to encapsulate not just efficiency but the thrill of a sports car.

In 2024, Ferrari shipped 3,560 cars, marking a 13% increase in revenue to $2 billion. The focus now is on delivering an automotive legend that not only meets modern-day demands for sustainability but also meets Ferrari’s high standards for performance and luxury.
