Ferrari is preparing to launch its first electric car, the Elettrica. According to the publication, although electric vehicles offer many advantages, they still face challenges in achieving long-term prestige and desirability.

The resale value of premium electric models tends to be low and, with rare exceptions like the Rolls-Royce Spectre, few have managed to become timeless family heirlooms. Ferrari, however, intends for the Elettrica to change that narrative.

Before its official debut at the Ferrari Capital Markets Day in Maranello, engineers and designers revealed details about the chassis, battery, and motor. The battery will have a capacity of 122 kWh — about 20% larger than that of the Tesla Model S — consisting of 210 cells arranged in 15 modules beneath the rear seats. According to Ferrari, this modular configuration allows for easier maintenance and greater longevity, since individual modules can be replaced without disassembling the entire pack.

The Elettrica will feature all-wheel drive with four electric motors — one for each wheel — enabling superior torque vectoring and stability control. Total output is estimated at over 1,000 horsepower, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph). Ferrari has also developed an innovative sound system: an accelerometer captures motor vibrations, and a digital amplifier converts them into carefully tuned sounds, giving the driver auditory feedback while maintaining Ferrari’s signature sound experience.

According to Robb Report, the official design of the Elettrica has not yet been revealed. What is known is that it will have four doors and, based on the chassis size, it will not be a compact sports car. It is still unclear whether it will be a grand tourer or something closer to an SUV, as Ferrari plans a gradual unveiling of the model, expected in early 2026.

Despite the secrecy surrounding its full design, the Elettrica already shows strong potential to raise the standard for electric vehicles — combining extreme performance, cutting-edge technology, and long-term durability — characteristics that reinforce Ferrari’s legacy of automotive innovation.
