Ferrari’s first electric car will have more than 1,000 hp and a range of 530 km

The Ferrari has revealed the first technical details of its long-awaited all-electric model, provisionally called the Elettrica, scheduled for launch in the first half of 2026.

The super sports car will be equipped with four electric motors, one for each wheel, which will deliver a combined power of over 1,000 horsepower. The Italian manufacturer emphasized that all crucial components, such as the platform, software and engines themselves, are proprietary development, ensuring that the essence and driving dynamics characteristic of the Ferrari are preserved.

This launch is a milestone in the company’s strategy, which aims to have 20% of its portfolio made up of electric models by 2030, without abandoning traditional combustion engines. The first deliveries of the Elettrica are scheduled for the end of 2026, with an estimated price exceeding 500,000 euros, positioning it at the top of the luxury segment.

Redefined performance and driving dynamics

The released performance figures put the Elettrica on par with the brand’s most powerful combustion supercars. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h will be achieved in just 2.5 seconds, while the maximum speed will reach 310 km/h. Esses data brings it closer to models like the F80, but the Ferrari’s engineering focused on improving the driving experience in curves and dynamic balance, taking advantage of the advantages of electric all-wheel drive.

The weight distribution and the extremely low center of gravity, made possible by the battery integrated into the floor, are the main differences. The technology will enable precise and instant vector torque control at each wheel, resulting in superior agility and stability on circuits and winding roads. The goal is not just straight-line speed, but a visceral connection between driver and machine.

Engine configuration and recharging system

The powertrain architecture has been carefully planned for maximum flexibility and performance. The two engines on the front axle generate 286 horsepower, while the two at the rear add 843 horsepower, allowing the car to operate with all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive only, depending on the driving mode selected by the driver.

The 800V electrical system will support fast charging of up to 350 kW, one of the highest capacities on the market. Essa technology will allow you to recover around 300 kilometers of autonomy in just 20 minutes, making the Elettrica viable for longer trips.

To simulate the sensation of shifting gears, Ferrari engineers developed the “Shift Engagement Torque” system. Ativado using levers on the steering wheel, it offers five different levels of torque, replicating the experience of a traditional gearbox. Outro control adjusts the intensity of regenerative braking, adapting the car’s response to the driving style.

Battery innovation and autonomy for long distances

The heart of the Elettrica is its 122 kWh structural battery, which not only stores energy but also forms an integral part of the vehicle’s chassis. Essa engineering solution allowed the center of gravity to be reduced by 80 millimeters compared to equivalent combustion models, a significant gain for vehicle dynamics. The energy density of 195 Wh/kg guarantees a compact and efficient package. With a full charge, the estimated autonomy is 530 kilometers via the WLTP cycle, enough for long journeys without worry. Além In addition, sustainability was a priority, with 75% of the aluminum used in the battery structure being recycled, which saves approximately 6.7 tons of CO2 emissions per unit produced. An advanced cooling system is designed to keep the battery temperature stable even during intense track use, ensuring that performance is not compromised by overheating, a common challenge in high-performance electric vehicles.

Internal development and full control of technology

Ferrari has made a point of maintaining complete control over the components that define the driving experience. The electric axles, power inverters and third-generation active suspension were all produced in-house.

The suspension, co-developed with the Multimatic, is one of the technological highlights. Ela adjusts vertical, longitudinal and lateral forces 200 times per second, eliminating the need for traditional stabilizer bars and offering unprecedented control over body roll.

To ensure comfort on board, an isolated rear subframe was implemented for the first time in a branded model, minimizing the transfer of vibrations to the cabin.

The recycled aluminum chassis and four-door body, with a wheelbase of 2.96 meters, suggest a four-seater configuration. Mais of 60 patents were filed during development, reinforcing Ferrari’s commitment to proprietary innovation.

An authentic sonic identity for the electric age

One of the biggest challenges of the transition to electrification is the loss of the combustion engine’s iconic sound. Ferrari has developed an innovative solution to this problem, installing a sensor in the rear inverter that captures mechanical vibrations from the powertrain and amplifies them, creating a natural sound that varies with acceleration and driving style. Diferente of artificial noises from other electrics, the Ferrari approach uses the real “music” of the components, compared by the team to an electric guitar, which mixes the silence of electric propulsion with a unique sound identity and faithful to the brand.

Active suspension elevates driving dynamics

The third generation of the suspension system, already seen on the Purosangue model, uses electronically controlled ball screw actuators. Eles adjust damping 100 times per second, while thermal sensors compensate for changes in oil viscosity, ensuring consistency in extreme climates. Essa evolution manages the forces per axle, reducing roll by 30% without sacrificing comfort on highways.

The Ferrari also applied lessons learned from the Fórmula 1, using arrays of Halbach on engine rotors to amplify magnetic fields, improving efficiency by 15%. The vacuum-impregnated stator coils dissipate heat more effectively than air-cooled systems, allowing extended sessions on the track without loss of performance.

LoveFrom’s electrification strategy and design

The Ferrari plan for the period from 2026 to 2030 foresees four annual launches, maintaining a balance between 40% combustion models, 40% hybrids and 20% electric. Elettrica is the result of 15 years of hybridization research, which began with Fórmula 1 in 2009.

The exterior and interior design is under the responsibility of LoveFrom, a company led by Jony Ive and Marc Newson, former heads of design at Apple. The partnership is expected to result in a look that avoids electric car clichés, with the full reveal scheduled for early 2026.
