Ferrari is stepping into the full-electric arena with the 2026 Elettrica, packing serious firepower under its sleek skin. It boasts a mind-boggling quad-motor powertrain pushing over 1000bhp with blistering acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed north of 310 km/h (190 mph). That’s hypercar territory.
The giant 122 kWh battery from SK Innovation delivers about 530 km (329 miles) of range, balanced perfectly to support blistering performance without sacrificing usability. Ferrari engineers focused on blending speed with handling, not just raw power. The car weighs about 2300 kg, striking a near-ideal 47:53 front-to-rear weight distribution.
One of the Elettrica’s standout features is its advanced active suspension, adapted from Ferrari’s F80 and Purosangue models but upgraded for electric demands. The electric suspension reacts to road conditions within milliseconds for ultimate grip and comfort, while independent rear-wheel steering tightens cornering precision.
Ferrari also tackled the missing “engine” sound that EVs notoriously lack. They borrowed a creative trick from electric guitars mounting sensors on the rear axle to capture motor vibrations, amplify them, and pipe an authentic, sculpted soundtrack into the cabin. This sound evolves with the car’s speed and torque, giving drivers the visceral feedback that Ferrari enthusiasts crave.
Underneath, the Elettrica features radical motor designs with Halbach arrays derived from F1 technology, enhancing torque density and efficiency. The design aims for compact, lightweight axles with integrated electronics, maximizing power output with 93% peak efficiency.
The cockpit features driving modes covering Range, Tour, and full-throttle Performance, allowing the driver to dial in precisely how much power and torque the quattro motors unleash. Paddle-shift controls provide five incremental torque levels to keep the driving experience involving and engaging.
Next year’s reveal will reveal the full story but what’s clear now is a wild EV.
