Ferrari Showcases Upcoming ‘Electtrica’ Platform for its First-Ever EV
Gallery
Ferrari shared details about its upcoming EV platform, called the Electtrica, which will be the base for the brand’s first fully electric vehicle.
The Electtrica platform will utilize a quad-motor configuration, with an electric motor powering each wheel. The combined output will be 1,112 hp, with the front two motors producing 281 hp, while the rear set produces 831 hp.
This powertrain configuration will help achieve an acceleration figure of 2.5 seconds from zero to 100 km/h, and max out at a top speed of 310 km/h.
This platform is notably heavy, especially by Ferrari standards, with the Electtrica weighing 2,300 kg. The car will have a weight split of 47:53 front to rear, however, which will benefit its handling. Range figures have also been announced, with the Ferrari slated to have 530 km of driving range (according to the optimistic WLTP European testing standards) coming from an 800-volt system.
Ferrari has designed the new platform to keep in line with the brand’s design tradition of keeping the driver close to the front wheels, but the platform is flexible, leaving the possibility for multiple body styles.
The electric drivetrain also allows this platform to have an 80 mm lower centre of gravity compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) Ferraris. This is due to the battery being integrated into the platform’s floor and specifically oriented towards the centre of the car.
Simulated shifting will also be a feature of this new platform. Despite losing the ICE powertrain and transmission, Ferrari developed its own system that unlocks more torque and power using paddle shifters. This simulates the experience of shifting gears while accelerating, with the Electtrica having a total of five different speeds to cycle through.
The sound of an engine will not be lost either, with Ferrari opting to capture and amplify the sounds of an electric motor, tech that’s very similar to how an electric guitar works.
Prototypes using the Electtrica platform will be showcased in early 2026.
