The Ferrari Elettrica is (almost) here

Exclusive details of the new Ferrari Elettrica have been revealed at the Capital Markets Day. Featuring two-row seating and all-wheel drive, the new model is the culmination of over 20 years of research in electrification that began in Formula 1.

Now this new full-electric model combines Maranello’s first pure electric powertrain with incredible performance and benchmark dynamics to deliver an authentic Ferrari driving experience.

Over 60 new technological solutions have been patented during development. Crucially, all main components have been developed and manufactured in-house at Maranello, while the clean-sheet architecture – the chassis and body are made from 75% recycled aluminium – harnesses the engineering freedom of pure electric drive.

The battery is a perfect example. With a class-leading energy density of 195 Wh/kg and operating voltage of approximately 800 V, it is fully integrated into the vehicle floorpan with all modules located between the front and rear axles. This reduces weight, increases overall vehicle stiffness and provides exceptional crash protection.

The innovative battery packaging also optimizes handling balance. Weight is distributed 47-53% front-to-rear much like a mid-engined supercar, and the centre of gravity sits some 80mm lower than an equivalent internal combustion model.

Like the battery, both electrified axles are fully developed in-house, from the pair of synchronous permanent magnet electric motors (one per wheel) to the transmission and inverters, and even castings that come direct from the Ferrari foundry.

Performance figures are astonishing. The front axle alone delivers 210kW and up to 3500Nm torque but can be disconnected during gentle driving to maximise range. When conditions or acceleration demands, it re-engages in just 500 milliseconds.

A further 620kW and 8000Nm is provided by the rear axle, with each of the four wheels precisely and individually controlled by torque vectoring. The latter technology not only ensures excellent traction, it allows cornering attitude to be very precisely adjusted.

Sound is a key emotional aspect of every Ferrari, but rather than create an artificial soundtrack to substitute for internal combustion, the unique characteristics of this new-generation powertrain have been accentuated. In gentle driving occupants are soothed by blissful silence, but under more spirited acceleration the natural acoustics of electric motors are enhanced like an amplifier enhances an electric guitar. Undesirable harmonics and high-pitched whines, meanwhile, are eliminated by Ferrari Order Noise Cancellation technology.

The rest of the driving experience promises to be similarly faithful to the Prancing Horse philosophy. The driver sits far forward in a wheelbase short like a mid-engined berlinetta, and made all the more responsive thanks to rear steering and short overhangs.

Third-generation 48v active suspension also features – following its debut in the Purosangue and subsequent appearance in the F80 supercar – and features two key revisions. An upgrade to the recirculating ball screw better cushions and controls vertical impacts, and revised shock absorbers reduce weight by 2kg. They now also monitor and control damper oil temperature for consistent behaviour in both hot and cold conditions.

Single battery cell [pictured] produces 305 Wh/kg, with a total of 14 cells making one module. The battery comprises 15 modules in total, with an overall energy density of 195 Wh/kg that’s the highest of any electric car 

The driver can also influence dynamic characteristics thanks to Range, Tour and Performance driving modes. The eManettino further adjusts the electric powertrain, while the Manettino progresses from Ice mode to ESC-Off and includes a new Dry mode integrated between Wet and Sport.

Freed from their usual role of shifting gears, steering-wheel paddles now provide access to five progressively higher levels of torque with the right-hand paddle, or increase engine braking with inputs to the left paddle in a strategy called Torque Shift Engagement.

Further details of the all-new Ferrari Elettrica will be confirmed over the coming months, with its exterior design revealed in the first half of 2026. But the new model is now fully ready to go into production – and begin an exciting new chapter in Maranello history.

The active suspension’s excellent comfort and precision is complemented by Ferrari’s first damped mechanical subframe – a solution for the rear axle that reduces the noise, vibration and harshness that is more noticeable without an internal combustion engine while maintaining agility.
