Ferrari has unveiled the technology powering its first electric car, the Elettrica, revealing the chassis and electric powertrain that will define the brand’s leap into the EV era.

The four-door grand tourer, set for 2025, will reach 310 km/h and deliver 530 km of range, combining performance with innovation. Ferrari has designed a bespoke acoustic system to recreate the signature “Ferrari sound” through real powertrain vibrations rather than artificial noise.

CEO Benedetto Vigna called the launch a “historic day,” emphasizing that Ferrari’s electric future adds to — not replaces — its petrol and hybrid heritage. The car’s body uses recycled aluminum and a floor-integrated fast-charging battery, optimizing balance and acceleration.

Priced at around €500,000 ($580,000), the Elettrica aims to appeal to wealthy younger buyers drawn to sustainable performance. Ferrari expects 20% of its lineup to be electric by 2030, down from its earlier 40% target, reflecting its measured pace on electrification.

Analysts say Ferrari must go beyond specs to create an EV “that is more than an EV” — one that evokes emotion, luxury, and identity. As former Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer put it: “You can buy acceleration in any EV. What Ferrari sells is the feeling.”
