Ferrari unveiled the production-ready chassis and components of its first fully electric model at its investor day. The new vehicle, named "Ferrari Elettrica," marks a milestone in the brand's multi-energy strategy, as the company announced.

The Ferrari Elettrica is, according to the company, the result of a radically new approach and combines state-of-the-art technology with Ferrari's signature performance. Every main component was developed in-house and is manufactured internally. The project includes over 60 patented proprietary innovations.

Recycled Aluminum Reduces CO2 Emissions

For the first time, the chassis and body are made of 75 percent recycled aluminum, which according to Ferrari results in a CO2 savings of 7.4 US short tons per vehicle. The architecture with short overhangs and a driver-near position to the front axle fully integrates the battery into the underbody. 85 percent of the modules are concentrated in the lowest possible position, lowering the center of gravity by 3.15 inches compared to a comparable combustion model.

The Ferrari Elettrica features two fully in-house developed electric axles, each with two permanent magnet synchronous motors and Halbach array rotors derived from Formula 1 technology. The front axle achieves a power density of 1.47 hp/lb with 93 percent efficiency, while the rear axle reaches 2.18 hp/lb at the same peak efficiency. The inverter integrated into the front axle delivers up to 300 kW at a weight of 19.8 pounds.

Battery With High Energy Density

The battery, developed and assembled in Maranello, achieves the highest energy density of all electric cars at nearly 88.5 Wh/lb, according to the company. A specialized cooling system improves heat distribution and performance. The vehicle control updates dynamic parameters 200 times per second to predictively manage suspension, traction, and steering.

Ferrari has developed its own sound that is designed to emphasize the characteristics of the electric drive. A highly precise sensor captures mechanical vibrations of the drive components, which are amplified to create an authentic auditory experience.

Elettrica World Premiere in Spring 2026

The presentation of the new electric Ferrari will continue in early 2026 with a preview of the interior design. The world premiere will follow in the spring of the same year, as announced by Ferrari.
