At its latest Capital Markets Day, Ferrari revealed the production-ready chassis of its first electric vehicle (EV) along with many key details.Dubbed the Ferrari Elettrica for now, which is Italian for electric, this EV is set to be revealed in March-June 2026. Customer deliveries will commence in late 2026.Power will come from dual electric motors with a total system output of more than 736kW. Ferrari claims it will be able to do the 0-100km/h sprint in 2.5 seconds and have a top speed of 310km/h.These electric motors are fed by a massive in-house-developed 122kWh battery pack, which allows for a claimed range of more than 530km, according to an undisclosed testing protocol.This battery pack operates on an 880V electric architecture which allows for a peak DC charging rate of 350kW.It’s also integrated into the floorplan, allowing for the centre of gravity to be lowered 80mm over an equivalent internal-combustion model.We’re still yet to see what this Ferrari EV will actually look like yet with its bodywork.Overall vehicle weight is claimed to be around 2300kg with a weight distribution of 47 per cent front and 53 per cent rear.Not all the exterior dimensions have been confirmed yet but it has a 2960mm wheelbase with an “extremely short” wheelbase. It’s claimed this is inspired by mid-/rear-engine berlinetta models.There’s a separate rear subframe, which is a first for Ferrari. It’s claimed to reduce noise and vibration in the cabin, while maintaining stiffness and driving dynamics.This EV is set to have a 48V active suspension set-up which it shares with the Purosangue and F80. It automatically controls the car’s pitch and roll when accelerating, braking and cornering.There will be three different tyre choices which all have low rolling resistance but no sacrifice to handling. One for dry use, one for winter driving and one with run-flat technology.This Ferrari EV will be able to make a noise inside the cabin but it won’t replicate the brand’s internal combustion engine sounds. In fact, it won’t be digitally generated at all.Instead, the noise will come from a high-precision sensor on the rear axle which picks up vibrations through the metal and then amplifies and projects it into the surroundings. It’s claimed to work in a similar way to an electric guitar.Ferrari is also including a noise cancellation system which is claimed to selectively cancel out “undesirable current harmonics” like high-pitched whines from the electric motor.At this stage it’s unclear what this Ferrari EV will look like with its complete bodywork for now, but previous spied prototypes have indicated it could look similar to the Purosangue as a somewhat lifted 2+2 grand tourer.Ferrari has confirmed it will unveil the interior in early 2026 and ahead of its full reveal in March-April.

Ferrari has unveiled a new twin-turbo hybrid supercar that resurrects one of the most iconic nameplates in the Italian maker’s storied back catalogue.

Hidden out of sight beneath the absurdly aerodynamic shape of Ferrari’s new $7 million hypercar, the F80, are four “Made in Australia” stickers.

In the early 1960s when Ferruccio Lamborghini was warming up for a punch on with Enzo Ferrari over the price of a clutch replacement for his 250 GT the already successful businessman famously took the bull by the horns and decided to make his own sports car.

The mighty Ferrari is benchmarking its newest supercar against a Chinese upstart.A Xiaomi SU7 Ultra was seen leaving the Prancing Horse’s headquarters in Maranello.Ferrari bought the high-performance electric car for testing and development purposes as it prepares its first electric car next year, according to reports.The SU7 Ultra is the flagship vehicle from Chinese smartphone producer turned carmaker Xiaomi.It is the fastest electric car around the Nurburgring and delivers a bonkers amount of grunt.The SU7 Ultra uses three electric motors to make an insane 1138kW, which is about the same as 10 Toyota Corollas combined and more than the quad-turbocharged W16 engine from the Bugatti Chiron.  Those outputs are good enough to catapult it to 100km/h from a standstill in blistering 1.97 seconds on the way to a top speed of 350km/h.The SU7 Ultra weighs 1900kg, which makes it a relative lightweight by performance electric car standards and means it tips the scale at about 400kg less than the Taycan Turbo S.It’s a seriously impressive machine on paper, and one of the world’s most intense car makers has taken notice.The Italian supercar firm is in the final stages of developing its first electric car, which it will unveil on October 9 this year.If it is to be a proper Ferrari it’ll need to be better than the competition, and the most advanced electric cars are from China.Details of the electric car are scarce, but we do know that it will make an “authentic noise”, according to CEO Benedetto Vigna.A previous report by Reuters speculated its price tag could be as high as €500,000 (A$886,900), although this hasn’t been confirmed directly by Ferrari.Ferrari is slowly transitioning to low-emissions power, with models such as the plug-in hybrid GTS 296, GTB 296 and SF90 Stradale, making up 51 per cent of its sales in 2024.The company has no plans to ditch V12-power from its range until it is forced to by various governments.Meanwhile Xiaomi's SU7 sedan and new YU7 SUV have set the Chinese market on fire, with hundreds of thousands of orders well exceeding the electric upstart's capacity to fill demand.

Ooft, Ferrari has done it again. The Prancing Horse has taken the covers off its new Amalfi coupe, which replaces the Roma in its line-up.

Ferrari has continued its two-decade long line of ‘special’ versions of its smaller mid-rear engined supercars with the arrival of the 296 Speciale, a fire-breathing 647kW version of the twin-turbo, V6 plug-in hybrid.

Ferrari will launch its first-ever electric car in October, CEO Benedetto Vigna has confirmed.The announcement was made at Ferrari’s Q4 and full-year financial results conference, where Vigna refused to give any details of the combustion-free model aside from stating that it would be launched in a “unique and innovative” way.Five more models will launch alongside it next year, one of which will include the 12Cilindri Spider as well as a Roma replacement, which went out of production last year.Prototypes of the electric supercar have been previously spotted testing in Ferrari’s hometown of Maranello, Italy, giving some details of what to expect in terms of design.Surprisingly, the four-door model appears to be an oversized hatchback more than anything, with its fake exhausts undermined by high-voltage stickers indicating that it is, in fact, electric.Vigna has previously confirmed that the electric model will stay true to Ferrari’s core principle of driver engagement, with the EV set to deliver “authentic noise”, suggesting a program similar to Hyundai’s Active Sound+ that synthesises fake engine noises on the Ioniq 5 N is on the cards.A previous report by Reuters speculated its price tag could be as high as €500,000 ($829,580), although this hasn’t been confirmed directly by Ferrari.The move comes as Ferrari announced that hybrid models, such as the plug-in hybrid GTS 296, GTB 296 and SF90 Stradale, made up 51 per cent of its sales last year.Despite rivals such as Aston Martin delaying their electrification plans, Ferrari remains committed to having hybrids and EVs consisting of 80 per cent of its line-up by 2030.It will still produce combustion-engine models beyond then, with the brand’s CEO previously stating he believes synthetic e-fuels are the “way forward” for the brand.Ferrari’s revenue rose 11.8 per cent in 2024 compared to the year prior, with deliveries up marginally by 0.7 per cent to 13,752 in total.Vigna expects “robust growth” in 2025, bucking the trend of a tough economic outlook that many mainstream car brands are facing.
