Ferrari has revealed the cutting-edge technology powering its first-ever electric vehicle, the Elettrica, marking a historic step for the luxury Italian automaker as it blends battery innovation with iconic Ferrari performance. The completed model, set for a global debut next year, will deliver a top speed of 310 km/h and a range of at least 530 km, according to the company.
Unveiled at Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters, the showcase featured the Elettrica’s production-ready chassis complete with battery pack and electric motor without its exterior body. CEO Benedetto Vigna called it “a historic day for Ferrari,” emphasizing that the EV will complement, not replace, its existing hybrid and combustion-engine lineup.
The Elettrica, expected to cost around €500,000 ($580,000), will feature a custom sound system that amplifies real powertrain vibrations to produce a distinct Ferrari sound, preserving the brand’s emotional driving experience. Built with 75% recycled aluminum and a fast-charging integrated battery, the model promises both sustainability and performance.
Ferrari aims for 20% of its lineup to be fully electric by 2030, slightly below its earlier 40% target, reflecting cautious demand in the luxury EV market. Industry analysts say Ferrari’s challenge will be to create “an EV that feels like a Ferrari,” rather than just another high-end electric car.
As former Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer noted,
“Ferrari needs an electric lineup that represents the pinnacle of its type an EV that is more than just an EV.”
