- Ferrari reveals first details about its first electric GT launching in spring 2026.
- The EV will use quad electric motors across two e-axles for over 986 horses.
- It will feature a 122 kWh battery, an 48V active suspension and amplified sound.
Ferrari’s first electric car is almost here, and somewhere in Italy a thousand purists are already typing their thinkpieces. The all-new electric GT is scheduled for a world debut in the summer of 2026, marking a major step in the brand’s evolution. Ahead of that, Ferrari has shared new details revealing the first details of its upcoming electric grand tourer codenamed Elettrica.

The zero-emission model is expected to deliver a combined output exceeding 986 hp (735 kW / 1,000 PS), supported by advanced chassis technology, a distinctive electric sound, and a large high-density battery capable of more than 530 km (329 miles) of rang
According to Maranello, all of the main components of the EV have been developed and manufactured in-house, ensuring it delivers “peerless levels of performance”.
Powertrain and Performance
The Elettrica will be powered by four electric motors. The front e-axle, taken from the F80 hypercar, produces 282 hp (210 kW / 286 PS), while the rear motors add another 831 hp (620 kW / 843 PS). In boost mode, total output rises above 986 hp (735 kW / 1,000 PS).
With that setup, the car will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph).
Drivers will be able to choose from three modes named Range, Tour, and Performance, depending on the conditions. The Torque Shift Engagement system offers five selectable levels of power and torque using the right paddle, while the left paddle adjusts braking intensity.
Sound and Energy
Ferrari’s approach to the Elettrica’s sound moves away from artificial engine simulation. Instead, a sensor mounted on the inverter detects the powertrain’s real mechanical vibrations, which are then amplified to create what the company describes as a natural, evolving tone that reflects how the car is being driven.
Needless to say, how convincing this synthesized feedback will feel in practice remains to be seen, as much of Ferrari’s allure has traditionally rested on the emotional impact of its combustion engines.

The battery is integrated into the floorpan, lowering the center of gravity by 80 mm (3.2 inches) compared with an equivalent combustion model. It has a capacity of 122 kWh and an energy density of 195 Wh/kg, which Ferrari claims is the highest among production EVs.
The system also features advanced cooling system and supports ultra-fast DC charging of up to 350 kW. The Italian automaker is confident that the range will exceed 530 km (329 miles).
Chassis and Design
Ferrari has not revealed the Elettrica’s final design, but test cars suggest a four-door, four-seat grand tourer layout, similar in spirit to the V12-powered Purosangue.
The body and chassis are constructed from 75% recycled aluminium, with design principles inspired by the company’s mid- and rear-engine berlinettas. The wheelbase measures 2,960 mm (116.5 inches), with short overhangs and a driving position set close to the front wheels.
The EV is also the first Ferrari to feature a separate rear subframe, designed to reduce vibration and noise entering the cabin.

It will use the brand’s 48V active suspension system, already fitted to the Purosangue and F80, promising to offer both comfort and precise body control. Buyers can choose from five tire options developed by three suppliers. At 2,300 kg (5,070 pounds), it will be the heaviest Ferrari ever built.
The world premiere of Ferrari’s first EV is scheduled for spring 2026, with an early preview of the interior expected next year. Production will take place at the new “E-Building” facility in Maranello, created specifically for electric and hybrid vehicles.
