Ferrari has entered a new chapter in its decades-long legacy with the debut of the Elettrica, the brand’s first fully electric model. A seamless fusion of innovation, elegance and performance, the Elettrica captures the essence of Ferrari’s racing heritage while embracing a sustainable future. The brand has unveiled the production-ready chassis and key components, with the full release scheduled for 2026.
Ferrari Elettrica: Groundbreaking Electric Performance
Ferrari equips the Elettrica with two permanent-magnet synchronous motors on each axle. The front e-axle delivers 210 kW at up to 30,000 rpm, while the rear produces 620 kW at up to 25,500 rpm. This setup enables the Elettrica to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and offers a top speed of 310 km/h. Moreover, features such as Halbach-array rotors, 0.2 mm stator laminations and silicon-carbide inverters boost peak power efficiency up to 93%.
The front e-axle features a disconnect system that can decouple the motors at any speed, allowing the car to switch to rear-wheel drive when conditions permit and then re-engage for all-wheel drive as needed. The synchronising technology makes the disconnect system about 70% lighter than before and allows engagement or disengagement of gears in roughly 500 ms.
Ferrari Elettrica Battery
The Elettrica’s 122 kWh battery is positioned at the floorpan behind the driver’s seat to reduce inertia and centre of gravity. Its 210 cells are connected in series and split across 15 modules. Each module comes with an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that communicates directly with the Battery Management System (BMS).
The pack achieves around 195 Wh/kg energy density and 1.3 kW/kg power density, with cells exceeding 305 Wh/kg and 159 Ah. A structural layout using compression plates, twin shells and 20 central anchor points adds stiffness and enhances crash protection.
Ferrari Elettrica Inverter
Ferrari’s inverter hardware converts the battery’s high-voltage DC to AC for the motors and manages regenerative braking. The front inverter weighs about 9 kg and can deliver up to 300 kW. It uses the Ferrari Power Pack with six silicon-carbide power modules, gate-driver boards and integrated liquid cooling, plus an 800 V – 48 V DC/DC converter. Switching frequency varies between 10–42 kHz to balance response, efficiency and Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH).
The rear EV inverter has a higher output (>600 kW maximum) and employs a toggling strategy that periodically switches between active and standby states to keep it at optimal operating points. The strategy improves the range by around 10 km without sacrificing performance.
Ferrari Elettrica: Innovative Body Structure for Enhanced Crash Protection
Ferrari adopts an extremely short wheelbase with the driver’s seat set close to the front axle for sharper feedback without sacrificing comfort. Crash energy management is built into the structure: the front shock towers help absorb impact loads. Whereas, the placement of the front motors and inverter dissipates forces before they reach key chassis nodes.
The battery is fully integrated under the floorpan, concentrating mass as low as possible. Gaps between modules and the sills act as energy-absorbing zones in a side impact, and the lower cooling plate adds protection from below. A patented assembly process boosts structural stiffness, helping deliver an 80 mm lower centre of gravity than an equivalent ICE layout and a 47:53 front-rear weight distribution.
At the rear, an elasticised mechanical subframe uses widely spaced elastomeric bushes to cut vibration and noise without losing lateral stiffness. A large one-piece hollow casting preserves service access to the rear axle, suspension and battery, while aiding refinement.
Sustainability is embedded in the structure: the chassis and bodyshell use 75% recycled aluminium, cutting carbon dioxide by about 6.7 tonnes per vehicle.
Ferrari Elettrica: Offering Exceptional Driving Dynamics
Ferrari embeds the new Elettrica with a host of features, offering a refined driving experience. Paddle-selectable acceleration, dedicated low rolling resistance tyres and the latest active suspension work together to increase the vehicle’s responsiveness.
Ferrari Elettrica Manettino and eManettino
Ferrari has installed two steering-wheel controllers to offer a tailored driving experience. The right-hand Manettino manages the car’s dynamic systems with modes: Ice, Wet, Dry, Sport and ESC-Off.
The left-hand eManettino governs the energy side, adjusting available power, driven axles (RWD or AWD) and the car’s performance.
Ferrari Elettrica Active Suspension
The Elettrica uses Ferrari’s third-generation 48 V active suspension. With the battery mounted low and the centre of gravity reduced, the system needs less active force to control roll and pitch, resulting in smoother rides.
A revised recirculating ball screw with a 20% longer pitch reduces inertial forces while maintaining motor torque. The car’s damper adopts a lighter design that saves 2 kg and integrates a thermocouple to monitor motor oil temperature for consistent behaviour.
For refinement, the active-suspension inverters are housed in the rear subframe to help isolate vibration. The vehicle control software updates key parameters 200 times/second to coordinate suspension, steering and traction.
Ferrari Elettrica Tyre
Ferrari has employed three different tyre suppliers to manufacture a tyre with 15% less rolling resistance than conventional ones, without compromising on the grip. The line-up includes five specific tyres: three for dry use, one winter option and one with run-flat technology.
Ferrari Elettrica: The Electric Guitar-Inspired Sound Experience
Unlike other electric cars, the Elettrica derives its cabin sound from genuine powertrain vibrations. An accelerometer on the rear-axle inverter captures those frequencies, which are amplified to create an authentic acoustic signature. In routine driving, the system remains subdued; under acceleration or paddle input, the sound scales, sharpening the sense of response.
To reduce electrical whine and harmonics, Ferrari applies Order Noise Cancellation, combining Sound Injection with a Resonant Controller.
