Waiting to see Ferrari's first EV? You'll need to wait longer
Ferrari's first battery-electric vehicle (EV) won't be revealed in October as it previously advised – instead it will be revealed next year ahead of first customer deliveries later in 2026. At the company's Capital Markets Day in Maranello on February 5, Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna said the famed Italian performance car brand would unveil its first EV on October 9, but last week he clarified that only its "technological heart" (ie: its powertrain) would be revealed on that date. It'll be part of a three-stage global launch for the mould-breaking EV. The interior of the as-yet-unnamed battery-powered vehicle, which apart from introducing electric power will debut a new four-door Ferrari body style that looks more like a liftback or shooting brake wagon than the Purosangue SUV, will then be revealed early next year. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Ferrari now says the car's full exterior reveal won't take place until the northern hemisphere spring (autumn for us southerners, so March-May) of 2026, ahead of first customer deliveries commencing in October next year. Now spied testing several times outside Maranello, Ferrari's first EV has so far only been seen in prototype form wearing what appears to be a modified Maserati Levante body with Ferrari Roma headlights. The development mule featured fake quad exhaust outlets protruding from the rear of its mismatched bodywork and was heard emitting a synthesised low-pitched V8 rumble. Little else is known about the EV, however Ferrari has said it's expected to account for five per cent of its annual sales from 2026. Based on sales figures from 2024, when Ferrari sold a record 13,752 vehicles globally, that would equate to about 700 EVs annually. Thanks largely to the 296 GTS, Roma Spider and Purosangue, the Italian carmaker increased its revenue by 11.8 per cent last year, to about US$7 billion (A$10.879bn) based on current exchange rates. Ferrari's new battery-powered fastback will join the growing list of electrified vehicles from the Italian brand, including the 296 GTB/GTS supercar and the SF90 Stradale hypercar. But its first EV comes amid cooling consumer demand for exotic EVs, and a growing list of brands to push back or cancel an upcoming EV, most recently including the Maserati MC20 Folgore supercar. Ferrari executives have previously told CarExpert that any EV from the hallowed prancing horse brand will remain true to its red-blooded performance ethos. "Driving thrills are the most important thing within our portfolio and we measure driving thrills in two ways," said Emanuele Carando, Ferrari's global marketing director. "The easiest way is the smile the clients have whenever they drive our car and get out of the car. [This is] the best indication of how fun it is to drive the car. "But there is a more scientific approach which is longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, braking, gear shifting and sound. Those five elements are the most important elements we evaluate and we build together to develop our cars." Since Ferrari announced in February that it would reveal six new vehicles this year, it unveiled the sharper new 296 Speciale in April – its most powerful rear-wheel drive production model ever. It's unclear what the other five (four if you include the EV) new models will be, but a hardcore XX version of the SF90 is expected, along with a convertible version, and there's speculation of a successor or heavy facelift for the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) hypercar, production of which started in 2019 and ended last year. Other possibilities include a PHEV version of the Purosangue, a replacement for the Roma coupe to be sold alongside the current Roma Spider, and another limited edition Icona series model like the Monza SP1/SP2 and Daytona SP3.

Ferrari's first EV likely to be known as Elettrica
Ferrari is set to launch its first electric car in October. At a recent company meeting, it referred to the new model as Elettrica, presumably its final name. Elettrica, which means electric in Italian, would be an appropriate handle. It's also simple, like many of Ferrari's previous model names. Likely the badge of the actual production vehicle will be confirmed or announced on October 9 when the next company meeting is scheduled. Test mules have been seen out and about, low riding and with a driver-focused chassis. Likely, however, Ferrari's first EV will be a crossover of some description. Think of it as an electric alternative to Purosangue, given the prototypes' size and four portals. Flared front wings are different from those of the company's SUV, and it is more streamlined, presumably for aero efficiency. Big 24-inch wheels likely hide carbon-ceramic discs. Air is directed towards these from frontal openings. At Ferrari's recent meeting, where it outlined a 21 per cent increase in profit for last year compared with 2023, a new electrified Ferrari F80 hypercar was mentioned. It will have 800V architecture and a self-charging hybrid system. Also mentioned was a new E-Cells R&D centre, for motor development primarily. Battery packs are expected to come from an outside source. Elettrica will have dual motors (at least) and AWD to give it the performance characterising Ferraris. Expect top-shelf dynamics thanks to fully active suspension and rear-wheel steering, developed for Purosangue. Benedetto Vigna, Ferrari's CEO, mentioned: 'For the first time we will have three kinds of traction: ICE, hybrid and electric.' Because sound is so important to the Italian supercar maker, expect the natural sound of the electric motors to be augmented as opposed to a synthetic ICE soundtrack.

Style Edit: Richard Mille and Ferrari unveil the RM 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph Ferrari, a masterpiece of engineering and design housed in microblasted titanium or Carbon TPT
When two icons of engineering – Richard Mille and Ferrari – join forces, the result is nothing short of extraordinary. Enter the RM 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph Ferrari, the latest timepiece born from this powerhouse collaboration, designed not only to perform at the highest level but to look unmistakably Ferrari in every detail. Crafted with input from Ferrari's supercar factory Centro Stile, the RM 43-01 is infused with automotive DNA, from its sculptural crown to the strap inspired by Ferrari's Purosangue seat architecture. The case, pushers, and even dial components exhibit the same muscular look found in Ferrari's most iconic machines – think the SF90 Stradale or the Daytona SP3. It's not design for design's sake – every form is rooted in performance. Ferrari Formula One drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Photo: Handout Advertisement At its core lies the RM43-01 calibre, engineered over three years and developed with Richard Mille's long-time movement partner, Audemars Piguet Le Locle (APLL). Housed in either microblasted titanium or Carbon TPT (with 75 pieces available in Carbon TPT, and another 75 in Carbon TPT and titanium), the calibre rests on a highly skeletonised Grade 5 titanium baseplate – lightweight, incredibly strong, and visually striking. A torque indicator, function selector and 70-hour power reserve complete the technical 'dashboard', while an active seconds display with five rotating blades adds kinetic beauty. RM 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph Ferrari in Carbon TPT. Photo: Handout But it's the finishing that truly elevates the RM 43-01. The metallic texture of the baseplate recalls the industrial elegance of sand-cast engine components, while microblasted bridges mimic the matt finish of Ferrari engine covers. Angular ridges, golden hexagonal screws, and X-shaped supports create a bold, three-dimensional aesthetic that feels almost like an exposed engine block as much as haute horlogerie. The Richard Mille tourbillon split-seconds chronograph has been reimagined with refined components that improve efficiency and power distribution. Photo: Handout The tourbillon split-seconds chronograph – a signature Richard Mille complication – is reimagined here with refined components that improve efficiency and power distribution. Through extensive simulation and testing, the mechanism has been optimised to deliver consistent torque across the entire power reserve, echoing Ferrari's relentless pursuit of peak performance. This is not just a tribute watch – it's a high-speed manifesto. One that bridges the worlds of motorsport and watchmaking with clarity, precision and style. As Ferrari's Flavio Manzoni puts it, 'Anything that has a technical purpose can also be beautiful.' The RM 43-01 embodies that philosophy in every screw, surface and split-second.
