Ferrari has shared the preliminary specifications of its first-ever EV – codenamed Elettrica – which will enter production in 2026. The zero-emission model will have a combined output that exceeds 986 hp (735 kW / 1,000 PS), sophisticated chassis tech, an amplified electric sound, and a massive high-density battery pack promising to deliver over 530 km (329 miles) of range.
According to Maranello, all of the main components of the EV have been developed and manufactured in-house, ensuring it delivers “peerless levels of performance”.

The powertrain will comprise quad electric motors. The front e-axle is sourced from the F80 hypercar producing 282 hp (210 kW / 286 PS), while the rear contributes another 831 hp (620 kW / 843 PS). According to the official specs, the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint will be completed in 2.5 seconds and top speed will stand at 310 km/h (193 mph).
The driver will have access to three modes, named Range, Tour and Performance. The EV also has a Torque Shift Engagement system with five levels of power and torque selectable from the right paddle, with the left paddle controlling the braking intensity.
Another cool feature of the Elettrica will be its sound. Instead of adding fake noises mimicking its ICE-powered lineup, Ferrari chose a different approach. A dedicated sensor mounted on the inverter casting picks up the mechanical vibrations of the powertrain which are then amplified for a unique auditory feedback.
The battery pack is integrated into the floorpan, with the center of gravity being 80 mm (3.2 inches) lower compared to an equivalent ICE-powered model. It has a capacity of 122 kWh and an energy density of 195 Wh/kg, which Ferrari claims is the highest among all current production EVs. It is also equipped with an advanced cooling system and supports ultra-fast DC charging of up to 350 kW. The Italian automaker is confident that the range will exceed 530 km (329 miles).
Sophisticated Chassis Setup
Ferrari has not shared any details about the design of its first EV. However, earlier spy shots hint at a four-door four-seater grand tourer, offering similar levels of practicality with the V12-powered Purosangue.
The body and the chassis of the Elettrica are made of 75% recycled aluminium. The architecture is inspired from mid/rear-engine berlinettas, with an “extremely short wheelbase” of 2,960 mm (116.5 inches) and a driving position near the front wheels. The EV is also the first Ferrari with a separate rear subframe, designed to reduce noise and vibration that passes through the carbin.

The EV will use the 48V active suspension system – already utilized in the Purosangue and the F80 – promising GT-levels comfort and optimum body control. Buyers will have a choice between five dedicated tires, developed by three suppliers.
The world premiere of the Italian EV is scheduled for spring 2026. However, Ferrari will give us a preview of the interior design early next year. Production of the EV will take place in the new “E-Building” facility in Maranello.
