- Ferrari says its first EV is due in October this year
- CEO Benedto Vigna says it will be “unique”
- Early spy photos tip by crossover body shape
Ferrari manager Benedto Vigna has announced that the first electric vehicle from the famous sports car manufacturer will be debuted on October 9 this year, continuing to state that only one of six new models will arrive in 2025 .
However, the pure electric vehicle marks a central moment for the Italian fire as it tries to repeat its monumental sales success with a car that does not boast of a Sonorous V8 or V12 engine.
If Ferrari succeeds, it is very likely that Lamborghini, Aston Martin and more luxury brands will have the confidence to push with their own projects.
Understandably, Ferrari has remained as closely lipped as a mafioso informant about detailed details, with spy shots of development cars that do little to answer questions.
Some believe it probably comes in the form of a sporty SUV or crossover, but test mules (complete with cartoon ‘stick-on’ exhaust pipe) used deliberately fine-tuned body parts to throw journalists from the scent.
We know well that Ferrari has built a dedicated EV complex (called e-building) at its Maranello factory, indicating that the Italian mark designs its EV from scratch, rather than buying in most components from suppliers.
In addition, it has been published in several news reports and interviews that Apple’s former chief designer Sir Jony Ive has been involved in the Ferrari EV project from the very beginning.
After leaving Apple, I created the creative collective love of co -designer Marc Newson and one of its first clients was the Italian carmaker. Ive, a long-lasting classic Ferrari collector, mentioned that LoveFrom worked on a steering wheel and parts of a touch screen Infotainment system during an interview with the New York Times last year.
According to this interview, John Elkann, CEO of Exor and Member of the Agnelli family, admired Ferrari how IVE’s Apple Watch had transformed an analog unit into a digital product. He wanted the same touch on Ferrari’s first electric vehicle.
Analysis: Ferrari works outside the car standards
In a speech at Ferrari’s Q4 Financial Results event, CEO Benedto Vigna revealed that the company made a staggering € 2.56 billion ($ 2.64 billion) in 2024, increasing the number of cars it sold year by year and predicted , that 2025 will be even bigger.
The company earns about € 111,000 ($ 115,000) profits per Sold car, a figurebooks could only dream of and enjoy order books full until the end of 2026. This fact alone will stand Ferrari in good condition to launch his debut EV.
Not to take something away from Ferrari’s first stab on an electric sports car – especially as we haven’t even seen it yet – but the prancing horse emblem is among the most sought after in the world, so it probably doesn’t matter what it is attached to. Ferrari fans will shoot it up in both ways.
