LoginFerrari’s First Electric Car Will Keep Us Waiting Until 2026
- Ferrari has also said the first customer deliveries will commence in October 2026.
- It’s unclear how much power the EV will have or what kind of range it will offer.
- The battery, electric motors, and inverters have been developed and built in Italy.
We were all expecting Ferrari to pull the curtain back on its first EV, tentatively called the Elettrica, in October. But, as it turns out, the Italian automaker has decided to tease us with only a glimpse of the car’s “technological heart” during the fall, with the actual vehicle set to make its debut next spring.
Ferrari made this announcement during the release of its first-quarter financial report this week. CEO Benedetto Vigna offered little detail about the “technological heart” of the Elettrica, but it’s a safe bet he’s referring to the all-electric powertrain that will power the car.

While we don’t yet know how many motors the EV will pack or the exact size of its battery, we do know that the battery modules, inverters, and electric motors will all be developed and built in Maranello. Sure, Ferrari could have opted to source these components from a third-party supplier, but instead, they’ve chosen to keep it all in-house, a move that speaks to the brand’s commitment to maintaining control over its technology.
Customer Deliveries: A Long Wait Ahead
In addition to announcing that the first part of the Elettrica’s unveiling has been scheduled for October before a launch next spring, Vigna confirmed that customer deliveries will start in October 2026, according to an Auto News report.
Several prototypes of Ferrari’s highly anticipated EV have been spotted in recent months, sporting a mix of parts from existing models. It’s still unclear how closely these test mules will resemble the final production version, but one thing is certain: the Elettrica won’t be your typical sports car. Instead, expect something more in line with the Purosangue SUV, just slightly smaller.
In its Q1 report, Ferrari says that it shipped a total of 3,593 new cars this year, 33 more than it shipped in Q1 2024. Revenue also increased by 13% to €1.79 billion (~$2 billion), and net profit jumped by 17% to €412 million (~$467 million).
