The first all-electric car from the traditional sports car manufacturer Ferrari was unveiled on October 9, 2025 with technical details on the chassis and components. Ferrari builds all the components itself and aims to deliver record-breaking energy and power density.

While Scuderia Ferrari tends to slow down a little in Formula 1, the traditional sports car manufacturer Ferrari S.p.A. is going full throttle. At the Capital Markets Day 2025, the production-ready chassis and component design for the first all-electric Ferrari, the Ferrari Elettrica, was presented. Having already experimented with hybrids and plug-in hybrids derived from Formula 1, such as the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, the company is now working on the Elettrica. The special thing about this is that Ferrari develops and builds every essential component of the vehicle itself.

The designs of the Elettrica show some innovative ideas that stand out when compared to other electric super sports cars. The in-house developments range from synchronous motors with permanent magnets and Halbach rotors, inverters, battery modules and cast parts through to the software control system. This ensures one thing above all: technological independence, which is accompanied by more than 60 patents for these developments. Ferrari has also supplied a whole collection of images of the technologies.

The plans also speak of technical efficiency: the rear axle achieves a power density of 4.8 kW/kg, the battery an energy density of 195 Wh/kg. With a system voltage of around 880 volts, the drive operates at racing car level, which enables high continuous power, short charging times and a stable thermal balance. The interior of the Elettrica will be unveiled at the beginning of 2026, and you will be able to admire the model itself in spring 2026.

Battery in the Chassis

The entire vehicle is designed for performance and weight optimization. 75 percent of the chassis is made of recycled aluminum, which saves Ferrari around 6.7 tons of CO₂ per vehicle. At the same time, the battery serves not just as an energy store, but as a load-bearing structural element: it is integrated into the vehicle floor, has a crash-absorbing effect and increases torsional rigidity. 85 percent of the modules were positioned as low as possible between the front and rear axles in order to lower the center of gravity by 80 millimeters (compared to a combustion engine) and thus improve driving dynamics.

To achieve this, Ferrari combines its latest 48-volt active chassis generation with four independent permanent magnet synchronous motors with Halbach rotors. "The front axle has a power density of 3.23 kW/kg and an efficiency of 93 percent at maximum power, while the rear axle achieves a power density of 4.8 kW/kg and the same efficiency. The front inverter with an output of up to 300 kW is fully integrated into the axle and weighs just 9 kilograms," reports Ferrari. The battery has an energy density "of almost 195 Wh/kg". These systems are controlled by a Vehicle Control Unit that updates the relevant parameters 200 times per second - a level of control precision reminiscent of Formula 1.

The central element is the Ferrari Power Pack (FPP), a module with silicon carbide-based power switches, gate driver boards and an integrated cooling system. The switching frequency is between 10 and 42 kHz, depending on requirements, and has been tuned for efficiency, thermal management and acoustic comfort. The result is a precise, fast torque distribution that combines high performance with a compact design.

Nothing Works Without Sound

Another novelty is the acoustic approach: the Elettrica does without artificially generated engine sound. Instead, a sensor records the mechanical vibrations of the drivetrain, which are then amplified and transmitted to the interior via the body structure. The result is an authentic, mechanical-electrical sound that adapts dynamically to the driving behavior and provides the driver with tangible feedback.

The system is complemented by a software-based power characteristic called Torque Shift Engagement, which emulates a classic Ferrari torque curve. Five power levels can be selected via shift paddles on the steering wheel, which feel like gears and create the feeling of steadily increasing acceleration without violating the physical limits of an electric motor. Further details from the development and design of the Elettrica can be found in the extensive article on the Ferrari website. (sb)
