Ferrari has revealed detailed technical specifications and insights into the engineering behind its first all-electric vehicle, the Elettrica, offering a glimpse into how the legendary Italian brand is approaching the transition to electric mobility. The automaker shared the information during a briefing at its Maranello headquarters but stopped short of unveiling the full car, which will debut in 2026.
Chief Executive Benedetto Vigna said the Elettrica’s unveiling will be done in three stages — beginning with the current release of technical details, followed by pricing and additional information in early 2026, and the final reveal in the second quarter of that year. “Today we are sharing the technology that will define Ferrari’s electric future,” Vigna said. “Our goal is not just to build an electric vehicle but to deliver the driving thrills that define Ferrari.”

The Elettrica will feature a 122 kWh battery pack and a quad-motor setup producing more than 1,000 horsepower (830 kW), allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 310 km/h (186 mph). The range is estimated to exceed 530 km (330 miles). Ferrari said it developed nearly all components of the powertrain in-house, while sourcing NMC pouch cells from South Korea’s SK. The company highlighted that 85% of the battery module’s weight is positioned beneath the floor to optimize stability and handling.
Ferrari also confirmed the Elettrica will be a four-door model — not a supercar — and produced in larger volumes than the brand’s traditional sports cars. Engineers emphasized that the model’s modular battery design makes it easier to service and upgrade, aligning with the company’s goal of building what it calls a “forever EV.”

The Elettrica’s motors are designed using motorsport-derived technology, capable of spinning up to 30,000 rpm on the front axle and 25,500 rpm on the rear. The configuration allows for compact packaging and improved efficiency, while Ferrari’s silicon carbide-based inverters achieve 93% efficiency at full capacity. “The layout of the cells is designed to minimise inertia and lower the centre of gravity,” Ferrari explained, “maximising driving pleasure in all situations, with an optimal weight distribution of 47–53%.”
In addition to its powerful drivetrain, the Elettrica will feature Ferrari’s third-generation active electric suspension system, adapted from the Purosangue and F80 models, and a new rear subframe design for improved vibration control. Each wheel will have independent steering and suspension, coordinated through a central control unit for precise handling.

Gianmaria Fulgenzi, Ferrari’s Chief Product Development Officer, said the brand’s focus remains on maintaining its signature performance dynamics. “Packing an EV with power and batteries to go 0–100 km/h in 1.9 seconds is relatively easy,” he said. “Making it so that it handles great while delivering repeatable power is a different challenge.”
Ferrari’s Elettrica marks a pivotal shift for the company known for its iconic V12 engines. With most of the electric components designed and manufactured in-house, the Elettrica underscores Ferrari’s intention to lead in electric performance while staying true to its driving heritage.
