🔋 Ferrari’s Electric Future: The V12 Legacy Meets Voltage
Data-rich. Analysis-first. For readers who want precision, not fluff.

⚡️ A Supercar Reboot, Backed by Data
Ferrari is not just entering the electric era—it’s doing so on its own terms, at its own pace, with data and discipline. While competitors falter or rush, Maranello is quietly building a vertically integrated EV supply chain, fine-tuning hybrid adoption, and preparing for a monumental reveal:
🗓️ October 9, 2025 – Ferrari’s EV powertrain and battery debut
🌸 Spring 2026 – Full vehicle unveil (expected: “Elettrica”)
🎯 October 2026 – Customer deliveries begin
This is not a pivot—it’s a calculated expansion. And the numbers back it up.
🧠 Strategic Context: Why Ferrari’s Playbook Is Different
Brand | Strategy | EV Rollout | Hybrid Commitment | ICE Phase-out? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Ferrari | ICE + Hybrid + EV (“Tri-Power”) | Oct 2025 → | 51% of 2024 sales | ❌ No |
Porsche | BEV-first, 718 & Macan EVs | Already | Low | 2035 EU Ban |
Mercedes-Benz | EV-heavy strategy; demand fading | Scaling | Pullback | Delayed |
Aston Martin | Delayed all-EV DB12 | 2026–27 | Struggling | ❌ Partial |
Ferrari is maintaining its V12 roar and electrifying its legacy—not replacing one with the other.
📊 The Data That Drives Ferrari’s Electric Confidence
🏎️ Product Mix
51% of all Ferrari vehicles sold in 2024 were hybrids
ICE + Hybrid lineup has powered a 12% CAGR in vehicle ASPs over five years
💰 Financial Backbone
Metric | 2024 Actuals | 2025 Guidance |
|---|---|---|
Revenue | €7.2B (+14% YoY) | €7.6B (est.) |
EBITDA | €2.56B (38.3% margin) | ≥ €2.68B (est.) |
Q1 Core Earnings (2025) | €693M (vs est. €689M) | ✔️ Beat expectations |
Net Debt / EBITDA | 0.8x | Low leverage |
💸 Pricing Power
Bespoke customizations drive >20% of Ferrari’s margin
Expected EV starting price: €450k+ (30–40% premium over hybrid)
🏭 Built in Maranello, Engineered for Margin
Ferrari is vertically integrating its EV architecture, building motors, inverters, and axles in a new “E-Building” facility. The battery pack will likely be externally sourced—but only after Ferrari finalizes internal control of thermal dynamics and voltage regulation.
Think Tesla’s gigafactory—but with carbon fiber, hand-stitching, and a 5-month waitlist.
🌍 Geographic Leverage
🇺🇸 US Market Strength: Leading source of Ferrari demand
🇨🇳 China Decline: Sales down 21% YoY—but Ferrari is limiting exposure (<10%)
🇪🇺 Tariff Impact: 50bps hit to margin—offset by price increases
🔬 Technical Expectations (Oct Reveal)
800V architecture
300+ mile range (targeted)
0–60 in under 2.4s
Inverter weight savings vs hybrid LaFerrari: ~12%
Charging time (DC): Targeting 0–80% in <20 minutes
Ferrari may opt for dual-motor AWD configuration, but weight distribution and sound engineering will be core differentiators—not raw torque alone.
🧭 What to Watch Ahead
Signal | What to Track |
|---|---|
Oct 9 Reveal | Battery specs, architecture, efficiency |
Spring 2026 | Customer demand, deposit trends, custom packages |
FY 2026–27 | EV share of total Ferrari sales mix |
China Play | Any Leapmotor partnership finalization |
Margin Math | EBITDA margin sustainability post-EV rollout |
This Isn’t Just EV. It’s Ferrari EV.
While the industry races to electrify, Ferrari is constructing a precision EV era that expands—not replaces—its brand DNA. This is a tri-power strategy: ICE, hybrid, and EV coexisting, backed by margin math, F1-inspired R&D, and timeless design.
Where others chase range or regulation, Ferrari is chasing perfection—and the data says they’re close.
