Enzo Ferrari once famously said, “Aerodynamics are for people who can’t build engines.” In 2026, his company is doing the unthinkable: building a car with no engine at all.
After years of “will they, won’t they,” the first all-electric Ferrari is officially entering the final stage. Confirmed for a global launch in October 2026, this yet-to-be-named hyper-GT is being built at the brand’s new “e-building” in Maranello. At AutoCritic, we dive into the specs that matter—and the controversy that surrounds them.
The $500,000 Silence? Not Quite.
The biggest fear for the Tifosi (Ferrari fans) was silence. How can you have a Prancing Horse without the V12 scream? Ferrari’s solution is engineering, not speakers.
- The Tech: Unlike other EVs that pump fake MP3 sounds through speakers, patent leaks reveal Ferrari is using an “aerophone” system.
- How it works: It physically amplifies the natural vibrations of the electric motors and transmission gears, piping this raw mechanical noise into the cabin. It’s not a recording; it’s the actual sound of the machine, just louder.
Performance: The Quad-Motor Monster
While the sound is debatable, the speed is not. The Ferrari Electric Car is expected to feature a quad-motor setup (one motor for each wheel).
- Power: Estimates sit comfortably above 1,000 HP, making it faster than the SF90 XX.
- Agility: With individual wheel torque vectoring, it can theoretically corner faster than any petrol car physically could.
AutoCritic Verdict
With a rumored price tag starting north of $500,000 (approx. ₹4.2 Crore), this isn’t a car for everyone. Purists might hate it on principle, but Ferrari isn’t building this for the past they are building it to survive the future.
