Ferrari's First Electric Car Debuts: 193 MPH, Maranello's EV Future
Ferrari confirmed the specs of its first fully electric vehicle on October 9, 2025 — a 310 km/h (193 mph) machine that represents the brand's most significant product pivot in decades.
Ferrari’s first fully electric vehicle is no longer a concept or a closely guarded secret. On October 9, 2025, the iconic Italian sports carmaker pulled the wraps off its inaugural EV during Capital Markets Day — and true to Ferrari form, the numbers are suitably extreme.
The completed car, which won’t receive its full global premiere until next year, will hit a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph), Ferrari confirmed that day. That’s not a typo. While the rest of the industry inches toward mass-market electrification, Maranello is building something that, at the very least, won’t embarrass the Ferrari name on a track day.
More Than a Powertrain Swap
CEO Benedetto Vigna presented the EV alongside a sweeping new five-year product roadmap that maps out Ferrari’s electrified future. The plan divides the lineup into three roughly equal pillars: 40% traditional internal combustion engines, 40% hybrid powertrains, and 20% fully electric vehicles. It’s a notably conservative ratio for a company that could have gone harder, faster on pure EVs — but it reflects Ferrari’s view that its customers still want options.
The EV itself will be produced at Ferrari’s new e-building facility in Maranello, purpose-built for electric and hybrid vehicles. The company also confirmed it developed a bespoke battery pack architecture for this model — no off-the-shelf Ultium or MEB components here. Ferrari being Ferrari, the pack is said to be engineered for both performance and the kind of balanced weight distribution the brand’s buyers expect.
The Sound Question
No Ferrari reveal would be complete without the emotional question of engine noise. Vigna acknowledged that Ferrari’s engineers have been working on “a new sound architecture” for the EV, without going into specifics. Early patents filed by Ferrari suggested the company explored artificially generated audio that mimics the character of a naturally aspirated V12. Whether that makes it to production remains to be seen — but it’s telling that Ferrari considers sound part of the product.
What This Means for the Industry
Ferrari moving into EVs isn’t just symbolic. It signals that the technology has reached a threshold where the world’s most performance-obsessed brand sees it as viable. And with 310 km/h on the spec sheet, this EV will be a genuine competitor to some of the fastest combustion Ferraris ever made — a quiet, torque-dense monster that just happens to have zero tailpipe emissions.
The car goes on full sale in 2026. Reservations are expected to open before the end of this year, and if Ferrari’s track record is any guide, the waiting list will be measured in years.
