Ferrari is going to launch its first-ever electric car on October 9, 2025. Called the Elettrica, this upscale EV would signify a radical departure for the luxury auto manufacturer.
Ferrari wants to combine electric innovation with the Italian brand’s style, speed and exclusivity in a price bracket of over €500,000.
The Launch Timeline
Ferrari Elettrica’s world premiere at Capital Markets Day is about to happen on 09 October 2025. The first deliveries are set to start from October 2026. This timeline complements Ferrari’s bold goal to electrify 40% of its range at the end of the decade.
The official launch represents a lifting of the curtain on years of planning, moving Ferrari decisively into the fast lane of the electric supercar revolution.
Price Point and Exclusivity
The Elettrica is set to retail for more than €500,000, putting it among the most costly electric vehicles the world has ever seen. That’s higher than the base price of many existing Ferrari models by nearly 43 per cent.
By comparison, Porsche’s electric Taycan, another rival Ferrari will want to compete with, starts at about €100,000, underlining Ferrari’s premium position.
Production numbers will be strictly restricted, strengthening the brand’s core philosophy of being exclusive and rare and making the Elettrica something only the world’s most discerning collectors and high-performance enthusiasts could ever own.
The E-Building: Ferrari’s EV Hub
To bolster its electric ambitions, Ferrari has put a €200m down payment on a state-of-the-art “e-building” at its historic Maranello headquarters. The cutting-edge plant will produce electric motors, inverters and battery packs in-house, though it will need to purchase the cells themselves.
Assembly lines for Ferrari’s hybrid and internal combustion models are also both located in the e-building, reflecting a multi-powertrain strategy. In a statement, CEO Benedetto Vigna said that the vertical integration would allow Ferrari to continue to control its performance DNA into the electric era.
Performance Expectations and Sound Design
It may be going electric, but Ferrari isn’t about to skimp on the ripsnorting fun that’s its stock in trade. From blistering acceleration to the Elettrica’s bespoke EV soundtrack, it looks like the first EV wearing the prancing horse badge will offer a driving experience to match. Here is what to know:
Feature | Details |
Acceleration | Estimated 0–100 km/h in under 3 seconds |
Top Speed | Likely 300+ km/h, maintaining Ferrari’s high-performance standards |
Unique Sound Profile | Ferrari is engineering an artificial sound to mimic the emotional tone of its ICE engines |
Testing Method | Uses “Hardware in the Loop” simulations to fine-tune performance |
Ferrari’s Strategic Vision for Electrification
Ferrari’s electric swivel isn’t the next high-speed trend, it’s a considered evolution. It’s targeting 40% of its vehicles sold to be full-electrics, 40% hybrids, and just 20% regular ICE models by 2030.
That balanced portfolio plan is there to protect Ferrari’s legacy while helping the world meet emissions targets. CEO Benedetto Vigna has said the move to electrification will be undertaken “with discipline and authenticity,” with every neat EV still retaining the soul of a Ferrari.
With the Elettrica, Ferrari is not merely entering the EV race; it is redefining it at the ultra-luxury end.
With the financial might of a €200 million investment and the motorsport heritage of more than seven decades under its belt, Ferrari’s first EV promises unparalleled performance, unreplicable exclusivity and unlikely emotion. October 2025 will signify a new era for the brand.
