Ferrari has finally done it. At Capital Markets Day 2025 in Maranello, the Italian marque pulled the wraps off the chassis and power components of Elettrica, its first-ever fully electric car. More than just a milestone, the Elettrica signals Ferrari’s entry into the EV age. So far, Ferrari has revealed the chassis and works, the body and interior unveilings will follow in 2026.
Every major component, from the Elettrica’s motors to the chassis, was developed and built in-house. The goal wasn’t just electrification, but a car that still feels and drives like a Ferrari. With over 60 proprietary patents and extensive use of recycled aluminum, Ferrari says this new model isn’t just about speed, but sustainability and precision engineering.
The heart of the Elettrica: chassis, power, and sound
Ferrari’s engineers designed the Elettrica’s chassis around a short wheelbase, positioning the driver close to the front axle for sharper dynamics. The battery is completely integrated into the floorpan, which lowers the center of gravity by 80 millimeters compared to a gas model. Made from 75% recycled aluminum, the structure saves roughly 6.7 tons of CO₂ for each car produced, the manufacturer claims.
Underneath, the Elettrica runs on two electric axles with four motors in total. Together they deliver over 1,000 horsepower in boost mode, launching the car from 0-to-62.2 mph in just 2.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 193 mph. The custom-built battery boasts an energy density of nearly 195 Wh/kg, currently best in class, Ferrari says.
Advanced control systems update 200 times per second to fine-tune handling, suspension, and steering. The sound has been engineered: vibrations from the powertrain are amplified so the driver hears the noise of the electric powertrain, not a synthesized combustion V8 engine sound.
What’s next for Ferrari’s electric era
Ferrari will showcase the Elettrica’s interior design early next year before the world premiere in spring 2026. When it hits production, it will stand as Ferrari’s boldest step yet toward a multi-energy future, joining hybrid and plug-in models in the lineup.
