Contrary to automakers and in the face of a tepider-than-expected market, Ferrari will launch its first 100% electric car at the end of 2025. The estimate is that it will be one of the most expensive vehicles in the world, at “at least” 500 thousand euros (more than R$3 million), according to Reuters.
There are still more speculations than answers about the new model. It is not known what the appearance, production volume will be like or whether the battery engine will make the characteristic “roar” of the Italian brand’s combustion engines.
Ferrari’s electric cars will be manufactured at a new plant in northern Italy that will be twice the size of Rome’s Colosseum, according to the New York Times. The new unit will help the company increase its production by up to a third, to around 20,000 units per year.
Ferrari has been producing hybrid cars since 2019, including sales in Brazil, such as the Ferrari SF90 Stradal model, its first plug-in.
Ferrari’s electric model targets wealthy environmentalists
Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari, said that the company would begin producing electric cars on a large scale in 2026 and that by 2030 these models, added to hybrids, will represent up to 80% of the car brand’s annual production, according to the NOW.
Despite the electric car market having slowed down, Ferrari is betting on environmentalist luxury car consumers. Furthermore, it seeks to comply with the European Union’s strict requirements for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Another point is to start first: rival Lamborghini plans to start selling its first electric model in 2028, says Reuters.
Among the various conjectures about the launch of the electric Ferrari, Vigna assured the NOW that the electric motor “will not be silent”. “There are ways to ensure that the thrill of driving an electric Ferrari is the same as when you drive a hybrid or when you drive a thermal Ferrari.
