Ferrari begins testing its first EV
Ferrari has been talking about launching an EV since 2019, and now we can finally guess what it could be. A test mule of the future EV has been spied testing. At first glance, I was excited thinking that Ferrari is finally getting into the hot hatch game, but then I realized that it’s an EV SUV (new cash cow?)
Spied in Maranello with fake exhaust tips (haha, we’re not that easily fooled), the high-voltage sticker clearly states that an electric motor is present in the vehicle. While Ferrari hasn’t revealed what segment and shape this car will be in, it appears to be based on the Maserati Levante and has Ferrari Roma headlights alongside newly designed wheels that look impressive.
Ferrari also promised that its first EV will deliver “authentic” noise, dream all you want about that information. The prospect will be built at the newly opened factory in Maranello and is expected to come out in 2025. The car is rumored to cost more than $500,000. Although the CEO refuses to confirm this rumor.
Ferrari’s future with EVs
Although Ferrari is adapting to the EV revolution, it has no plans to stop ICE production, specifically V12 engines. Head of product marketing Emanuele Carando recently said the twelve-cylinder engine will remain in production until it is banned. Which is indeed good news for enthusiasts who can and cannot afford Ferrari “Art”. The exotic Italian brand estimates that the first EV would account for five percent of total shipments in 2026.
The Italian automaker is planning a major shift to electric vehicles by 2030. Projecting that 20% of its cars will be ICE. The remaining 80% are a mix of plug-in hybrids and fully electric cars. Its first electric car is expected to make up 5% of its sales by 2026. Reportedly, a second is on the way.
