"Enzo Ferrari said he was a seller of engines and that the rest of the car is thrown in for free, such was the emphasis he and his company put on its jewel-like power units. Can the same ever be true of an electric car's seemingly soulless motors, batteries, and inverters? That is the question Ferrari is at pains to answer in the positive with its first EV."
"Total power is a little over 1,000 horsepower, the 0-62 mph time is 2.5 seconds and the top speed is 192 mph. The battery has a gross capacity of 122 kWh-one of the largest fitted to any production EV to date-can charge at up to 350 kW and operates at 880 volts. Ferrari is claiming a range of over 323 miles, suggesting an efficiency of around 2.65 miles per kWh, excluding any mileage gained through regenerative braking. Weight is approximately 2,300 kg (5,070 lbs)."
"This was all broadly to be expected. What isn't known is exactly what sort of car it will be, or what it will be called. Today's reveal is focused on the Elettrica platform. The interior, which includes the work of a certain Sir Jony Ive, will be shown early next year, and the full car, also penned with input from Ive's LoveFrom design house, will land in the second quarter of 2026."
The Elettrica platform is a skateboard EV chassis with four motors delivering just over 1,000 horsepower, a 0-62 mph time of 2.5 seconds, and a 192 mph top speed. The battery has a 122 kWh gross capacity, an 880-volt architecture, and can charge at up to 350 kW, with a claimed range exceeding 323 miles and an estimated efficiency around 2.65 miles per kWh excluding regenerative gains. Regenerative braking can provide more than half the force of an emergency stop. Curb weight is roughly 2,300 kg (5,070 lbs). The interior involves Sir Jony Ive’s work, previewed early next year, with the full car due in Q2 2026.
