"Today... is a historic day for us." Ferrari unveils its first electric car

The company is gradually engaging in electrification

Ferrari has revealed details about its first electric vehicle, the Elettrica, and also stated that it plans to improve batteries for hybrid and gasoline models.

At a closed event at its headquarters in Maranello, the Elettrica chassis was shown with a battery and electric motor, without wheels and a body.

The car, which is expected to debut on the world stage next year, will have a top speed of 310 km/h and a range of at least 530 km.

The four-door, four-seat car will feature a custom-designed sound system that will amplify the real vibrations from the powertrain, creating a distinct Ferrari electric sound, rather than simply mimicking engine noise.

Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna noted that the electric car will be an addition to the existing model range.

Today... is a historic day for us. Everyone has goosebumps. The electric car is an addition, not a transition.
Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari
