Ferrari, long celebrated for crafting some of the world's most emblematic sports cars, has confirmed plans to launch its first fully electric model in autumn 2026. For a company defined by powerful engines and track-derived engineering, this is a first for the Italian marque.

According to CEO Benedetto Vigna, the upcoming EV will remain faithful to Ferrari even without a traditional powertrain.

Although the company has not revealed full technical specifications, it promises performance: speed and handling that match or surpass the brand's current models. Engineers are reportedly focusing on a lightweight body, aerodynamics, and innovative battery technology to preserve the look and driving feel that identify a Ferrari — focus areas that shape how alive a car feels from behind the wheel.

The announcement carries broader industry weight. Ferrari's entry into the electric arena could shift consumer perceptions, adding prestige and allure to high-performance EVs. The company has typically built limited, expensive series for wealthy buyers, yet moving into the EV segment may make electric cars more appealing to drivers who prize a sporty character. When a benchmark name makes such a move, expectations across the segment tend to recalibrate.
