Ferrari elettrica chassis
At its Capital Markets Day 2025, Ferrari presented its strategic plan for the period up to 2030, which aims to lead the brand into the electric age without losing its sporting DNA. From an ‘electric perspective’, it is particularly interesting to note that while Ferrari’s 2022-2026 strategic plan envisaged fully electric vehicles accounting for 40 per cent of its product portfolio by 2030, this target has now been revised downwards to 20 per cent. It is also important to note that, unlike other manufacturers, Ferrari does not base this percentage on actual sales, but on the share of the model range. A further 40 per cent is to be accounted for by hybrids, and the remaining 40 per cent by classic combustion engines.
Ferrari does not yet have a single fully electric model in its range, but has now provided further details about the Ferrari Elettrica – this first electric car is scheduled to go into production at the end of 2026. John Elkann, Executive Chairman of Ferrari, said at the event: “With the new Ferrari elettrica, we once again affirm our will to progress by uniting the discipline of technology, the creativity of design and the craft of manufacturing.”
The new Ferrari Elettrica aims to transfer the emotions and driving dynamics of a Ferrari to electric mobility – with an in-house developed electric powertrain, high-voltage batteries, electric axles and inverters manufactured in the new facility in Maranello. Ferrari emphasises that electrification is not seen as a departure from its own philosophy, but rather as an extension of it: openness to technology and emotion remain guiding principles.
The Italian manufacturer did not unveil the Ferrari Elettrica in its entirety at the event, so it is not yet possible to form an impression of its design. However, Ferrari did provide an in-depth look under the bonnet, showing the chassis and motors, among other things, and, above all, already announcing the performance data: Ferrari’s first all-electric model uses a newly developed skateboard layout with a battery fully integrated into the vehicle floor. The battery system consists of 15 modules, each with 14 cells. The gross capacity is an impressive 122 kWh, with a charging capacity of 350 kW. At 880 volts, the voltage is ten per cent higher than in the latest models from Audi, Mercedes or Porsche. Nothing is known about the range yet.
Of course, a Ferrari is not just about the battery system, but also about high performance on the road: the Ferrari Elettrica uses a system with two electric axles and a total of four permanently excited synchronous motors (two per axle) with Halbach array rotors, a technology that originated in Formula 1. The front axle delivers 210 kW and can be decoupled at any speed to increase efficiency – in all-wheel drive mode, it switches on automatically when needed. The rear axle delivers 620 kW and up to 8000 Nm of torque in Performance Launch mode. The Ferrari Elettrica is said to be able to sprint from zero to 100 kph in 2.5 seconds. The top speed is said to be 310 kph.
