Ferrari Elettrica — first details: power, sound & design
Ferrari revealed early, substantial details about its first full electric model, the Elettrica, at Maranello. Below is a summarized breakdown of the key technical and design features announced.
Key specs
- Powertrain: Four independent electric motors (one per wheel) producing over 1,000 hp.
- Battery: 122 kWh (gross) battery pack (~330+ miles estimated range).
- Drive & handling: Individual-motor torque vectoring plus independent rear-wheel steering to enhance cornering.
- Suspension: Active electric-damper system (motor-driven dampers) for instant per-corner adjustment.
- Sound: Accelerometer mounted inside the rear motor housing feeds harmonic resonance into a digital amplifier to create an “authentic” electric motor sound.
- Design: Collaboration with LoveFrom (Jony Ive) — the Elettrica will have four doors and four seats, positioned between a grand tourer and SUV.
What makes it special
Ferrari focused on driving feel and cornering dynamics rather than raw straight-line numbers. With four motors and active suspension, the Elettrica aims to deliver a uniquely responsive and engaging driving experience for an EV. The sound system is engineered to reproduce actual motor harmonics rather than an artificial sample.
Practicality & longevity
The 122 kWh battery and an estimated range of 330+ miles position the Elettrica as a competent tourer. Ferrari also indicated plans to evolve cell chemistry and pack architecture over time to keep the model relevant for decades.
