Maranello, Italy – Ferrari is now the iconic car company famed for its loud engines and unbeatable performance. The company has announced its electric future, which has many in Maranello excited. Ferrari’s first all-electric car, the “Elettrica,” will be delivered in late 2026. Its performance standards show that the company has made a big technological jump. It has purposefully changed the way it makes and sells its products and technologies. At the Capital Markets Day for the business, the firm spoke about a planned approach to electrification that focusses on keeping and expanding its high-margin combustion-engine history while also supporting zero-emission mobility.

The Elettrica: A Symphony of Electric Power and Sound

The Elettrica EV from Ferrari is not a surrender to the market. The first details make it seem like a performance car influenced by F1. In “boost mode,” its sophisticated quad-motor electric powertrain produces more than 1,000 horsepower. The Elettrica can drive from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in about 2.5 seconds, which puts it in the supercar class. This raw power is backed up by a high-performance 122 kWh, 800-volt battery pack that is built right into the chassis. It has a range of 530 km and a unique cooling system. Ferrari knows that drivers have a strong emotional connection to its automobiles. This is important. The Elettrica’s proprietary technology doesn’t make an engine note. Instead, it amplifies the vibrations and frequencies of its electric powertrain to provide an “emotive” and useful soundscape for the driver. The brand’s inventiveness that honors its legacy is shown by its promise to provide people a Ferrari experience, even if it’s electric.

Building the Future In-House: A New Era for Manufacturing

Ferrari’s plans to make electric cars and other products focus on making things in-house and having technological control. The company’s new “e-building” facility in Maranello is where most of the Elettrica’s critical EV parts are. It includes such battery modules, e-axles, and inverters, which are designed, built, and put together. There are a number of good things about this kind of vertical integration. Ferrari maintains complete control over the quality, performance, and uniqueness of its electric technology. This keeps its edge over other companies. It also speeds up the process of developing new products. That makes it easier to combine electric powertrains with Ferrari’s chassis and dynamic systems. From the outset, Ferrari has been a pioneer in electrification. That is because it wants to be able to manufacture its own most advanced technologies.

A Rebalanced Portfolio: Preserving the Combustion Heart

The most significant thing Ferrari may have said at Capital Markets Day was that it was going to change its long-term product and powertrain strategy. It is more careful and nuanced in how it plans to electrify than its rivals. The goal for 2030 now says that 20% of all automobiles should be electric, down from 40%. This isn’t a step back from electric mobility; it’s a planned move to improve its standard powertrains. The goal for pure combustion-engine automobiles has gone up to 40% of the 2030 portfolio, while the goal for hybrid models has stayed at 40%. This two-pronged approach gets the most out of Ferrari’s high-margin, normally aspirated and turbocharged V8 and V12 engines, which are the brand’s most profitable goods.

Measured Electrification: A Cautious Advance

Ferrari’s electrification is happening slowly. Because of changes in the market and concerns about the demand for ultra-high-performance electric vehicles, Ferrari seems to be more careful about its all-electric goals. The company may not release a second all-electric model until 2028. This is because it wants to focus on its first EV product and see how well it sells before moving into the pure EV market. Ferrari’s cautious approach enables it to deal with the battery technology, charging infrastructure, and changing client desires in the EV market without losing its brand values or financial stability.

Staying Relevant: Targeting the Next Generation of Enthusiasts

Ferrari knows that it needs an electric car to remain relevant to a new generation of rich buyers, even if it is taking a long time to make them. To get young, ambitious consumers, Ferrari needs a robust line of electric cars. The Elettrica and its electric descendants meet this need without losing loyal clients. The business wants to bridge the gap between heritage and innovation by giving customers the same thrilling performance, cutting-edge technology, and emotional connection that make a Ferrari a Ferrari. This will ensure that the brand lasts for decades across a wide range of powertrain choices. This planned shift in the balance between combustion and electric will impact the future of the Prancing Horse. focuses
