Ferrari Elettrica: The Prancing Horse Enters the Electric Era with 1,000+ HP and a 2.5-Second Sprint
Ferrari is finally taking a bold leap into the electric future. The legendary Italian brand has officially confirmed details about its first all-electric hypercar, tentatively named Ferrari Elettrica, set to debut in spring 2026. The Maranello-based automaker promises that the model will deliver not just electrifying performance figures, but also an uncompromised Ferrari driving experience — emotional, precise, and visceral.
Ferrari’s First Electric Platform: Power and Precision in Perfect Balance
The Ferrari Elettrica is built on an all-new 880-volt architecture designed to maximize power delivery and reduce charging time. The hypercar features four electric motors, one at each wheel, providing individual torque vectoringand exceptional traction control precision. Combined output exceeds 1,000 horsepower, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 310 km/h.
The battery pack, integrated into the floor, has a capacity of 122 kWh, contributing to a range of around 530 km (WLTP). Thanks to innovative packaging, the car’s center of gravity is 80 mm lower than on Ferrari’s V12 grand tourers, enhancing stability and cornering agility.
The wheelbase, at just 2,960 mm, is unusually short for a grand tourer. Ferrari engineers say this setup was inspired by classic front-engine models, where the driver sits almost at the midpoint of the car for maximum control feedback and engagement.
Technical Breakdown: Performance Without Compromise
The front axle is powered by two electric motors derived from the hybrid Ferrari F80 project, each producing 286 hpand capable of spinning up to 30,000 rpm. Together, they deliver 3,500 Nm of effective torque at the wheels, factoring in reduction gearing.
The rear motors are even more powerful, producing a combined 843 hp and an immense 8,000 Nm of torque. When the system engages Boost Mode, total power output exceeds 1,000 hp, making Elettrica one of the most powerful Ferraris ever built.
Despite a curb weight of 2,300 kg, performance remains breathtaking thanks to active torque vectoring, rear-wheel steering, and an optimized 47:53 weight distribution.
Dynamic Control: Dual Manettino System
Ferrari is introducing a new dual control concept on the steering wheel: the classic Manettino and the all-new eManettino.
Manettino governs traditional drive modes — Ice, Wet, Dry, Sport, and ESC-Off — adjusting suspension stiffness, stability control, and power delivery.
eManettino, located on the left, controls the drivetrain configuration. It allows drivers to choose between rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and maximum performance setups, depending on surface conditions and driving style.
Together, they provide an unprecedented degree of personalization for an electric supercar, allowing the driver to fine-tune every aspect of handling and acceleration response.
Safety Innovation: Energy-Absorbing Front Motors
Ferrari engineers have developed a unique safety feature debuting with Elettrica. In case of a frontal collision, the front suspension towers absorb part of the impact, while the front electric motors and inverters dissipate energy before it reaches the chassis. This system enhances both occupant protection and structural rigidity — a first for electric hypercars.
A Hidden Design and a Grand Touring Soul
While Ferrari remains tight-lipped about the Elettrica’s exterior design, insiders suggest that it will resemble a four-seat grand tourer with proportions inspired by the Roma and the 812 Superfast. Expect a sleek, elongated silhouette, a low roofline, and advanced aerodynamic solutions developed in the brand’s F1 wind tunnel.
The interior is expected to blend luxury with cutting-edge technology, featuring digital interfaces integrated seamlessly into a driver-centric cockpit. True to Ferrari tradition, every element will focus on tactile feedback, material quality, and emotional engagement — even in a fully electric environment.
The Dawn of a New Era for Maranello
The Ferrari Elettrica is more than just an EV — it represents a transformation in Ferrari’s identity. Maranello’s first electric hypercar aims to preserve the brand’s DNA while redefining performance and driving emotion for the next generation.
Ferrari’s CEO has emphasized that the company’s approach to electrification is not about compliance, but enhancement. Every watt of power will serve to amplify the signature Ferrari thrill — not replace it.
As anticipation builds toward its 2026 premiere, the Elettrica promises to set a new benchmark for electric grand tourers, combining heart-stopping acceleration with true Italian soul.
