Ferrari’s First EV is the Elettrica: 1,000+bhp Quad-motor, 0-100 in 2.5s, 530km+ Range

Ferrari has revealed technical specifications of its first-ever electric car, currently codenamed the Elettrica. The aesthetic design is under wraps for now, but the revealed architecture hints at the upcoming EV's dynamic and comfort-focused design philosophy. The engineering blueprint highlights features that are imperative to the performance of Ferrari's electric model. Key elements include short overhangs, a driver’s seat positioned closer to the front axle (Similar to Ferrari’s classic mid-engine sports cars), and a 122kWh battery pack integrated completely into the floorpan. The battery modules are distributed between the front and rear axles, with 85% positioned as low as possible to significantly lower the center of gravity. The result? A center of gravity that’s 80mm lower than a typical ICE Ferrari. 

Ferrari has equipped the Elettrica with a separate rear subframe, a first for the brand. It is designed to reduce noise and vibration while preserving the stiffness and dynamic sharpness.

Ferrari Elettrica: Powertrain

The Ferrari Elettrica boasts an in-house electric powertrain. It uses four electric motors, two on the front axle and two on the rear. These advanced motors are based on Formula 1 technology and deliver incredible performance and control. The Elettrica can produce over 1,000bhp in boost mode, launch from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 310km/h.

Each motor in the Elettrica operates independently, enabling highly precise torque vectoring that delivers exceptional grip and agility, particularly during high-speed cornering. In Performance Launch mode, the rear axle alone can send up to 8,000Nm of torque to the wheels. Ferrari has added an advanced Torque Shift Engagement system that lets the driver toggle between five power delivery modes using the right-hand paddle shifter.

Ferrari Elettrica: Chassis and Other Details

The Ferrari Elettrica is built on a bespoke chassis engineered around an 800-volt system, housing a 122kWh battery pack. This setup delivers a class-leading power density of nearly 195 Wh/kg, apart from lowering the car’s center of gravity. Ferrari has used 75% recycled aluminum in the chassis and body, reducing CO₂ emissions by 6.7 tons per vehicle.

The Elettrica also features the 48-volt active suspension (first seen on the Purosangue). This unit replaces traditional anti-roll bars with electric actuators for real-time damping adjustments.

Ferrari has engineered a distinctive audio experience for its electric car to keep the thrill of driving alive. The Elettrica uses a rear-axle sensor to capture and amplify the authentic vibrations and tones produced by the electric motor rather than relying on synthesized audio. The system delivers a unique, natural, and exciting soundtrack to the cabin.

Ferrari Elettrica: Will It Come to India?

The Elettrica's design as a four-seat coupe in the high-end electric luxury segment makes it a perfect fit for the Indian market, where Ferrari already successfully offers models like the Roma and Purosangue. Though the official launch timeline for India is unconfirmed, we anticipate the car will arrive soon after its global rollout begins in late 2026.
