Elettrica: Ferrari presents its first electric vehicle. It will sound like a guitar

600 horsepower, a system that simulates the sound of the V12 fuel engine and a 122 kWh battery. Ferrari’s new electric car is born.

The new Elettrica EV was presented this Thursday: it is Ferrari’s first step into electric models.

Elettrica has a autonomy of 530 km, and will have four doors and four seats. There are no images of the model yet, but auto industry analysts believe it could have similarities with the GTC4 Lusso four-seater launched in 2016.

“The car’s driving is, frankly, unbelievable,” he told Gianmaria Fulgenzithe company’s director of product development, highlighting the advanced engineering that makes Ferrari’s first electric car feel light and agiledespite its size.

“It’s easy to create a lot of power with an electric motorbut for this it is necessary big motors and a huge battery — and these cars end up looking like elephants on the road,” he says.

The steering wheel has two manettinos and paddles to control power, torque and regenerative braking, giving the driver precise control over performance.

Unlike most trams, the Elettrica has a sound system that amplifies natural frequencies of electric motors, instead of masking them, being able to provide dynamic feedback as the car accelerates. The company compares this sound to that of an electric guitarsays .

“We wanted to create a car that could be used as a family or among friends”, he explained Benedetto VignaCEO of Ferrari, who claims that the Elettrica EV will attract not only the company’s usual customers, but also people who would not consider buying a Ferrari until now.

The new model from the Maranello construction company has 600 horsepower and a 122 kWh battery. Despite the power, says Vigna, this “It’s not a supercar“.
