Work on the Maranello BEV began some time ago and Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari, had declared that the car would debut in 2025, however it is possible that production times are actually longer. Furthermore, the electric Ferrari will have exceptional performance, but could be placed within the grand touring segment

There Electric Ferrari probably there will be, so the Cavallino company will also have a 100% battery-powered car in its range. Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari, had declared that the car would debut in 2025, just a year after the inauguration of the e-building, which, according to plans, should be operational from June 2024. Speaking of plans, according to the information in our possession, it seems that Ferrari’s goal is to finalize the new and highly anticipated BEV (Battery electric vehicle) model by 2027; for production we are talking about a few more years. So, why indicate 2025 as the debut date? We need to understand what is meant by debut. It’s one thing to show a prototype, another to show a car that can be produced, and yet another to present a production model. From what we know, It seems unlikely that the electric Ferrari will be available for purchase in 2025.
HIGH PERFORMANCE GRAN TURISMO

The other interesting news is that the electric Ferrari may not be a supercar but a grand tourer, probably declined with an SUV body (after all, Lamborghini also made this choice, showing the Lanzador concept), of medium or medium-large length (the photos in this article are hypotheses, reconstructions, not real images, given that the car is still under development). Conceptually, therefore, it could be a product dedicated to an audience that Ferrari had never addressed. A strategically intelligent choice, which would position the electric model in a market segment where there are no Ferraris (not even with combustion engines) and which lends a helping hand to the world of green. On the other hand, thinking about it, what would be the point of declining an electric Ferrari as a supercar? If it is extraordinarily high-performance, as one might expect, it could put endothermic supercars in a bad light. Furthermore, are we sure that the Ferrari customer is really interested in an electric supercar? Declining the electric Ferrari as a grand tourer, however, could be the opportunity to explore new market segments with something truly new.
BREATHTAKING PERFORMANCE

At Maranello they took work on this project seriously, even if, given the numerous cars in the development phase (including the hypercar and the V12 grand tourer), there was a long discussion about who and how would follow the evolution of the first Bev of the little horse and many analyzes have been done to direct its development. It is therefore impossible not to also carry out comparative analyzes on the best competitor models (which apparently include the Tesla Model S Plaid), already under the lens of the technicians. The Maranello company has never developed an electric car and when its Bev debuts on the market it will have everyone’s eyes on it, because, there is no denying it, a 100% electric Ferrari, both from a technical point of view and from a philosophical, it will be one of the most important events in the history of the car. Also for this reason, the electric Ferrari project represents a far from easy challenge. Finally, within Ferrari, as is normal to happen, probably not everyone welcomed the arrival of an electric one with enthusiasm: in Maranello, technically, they are used to thinking in an extreme way, especially when it comes to emotions linked to the roar of engines. On an electric one, obviously, this approach cannot be had (even if it is reasonable to expect systems capable of simulating the roar of Ferrari engines) and this is perhaps also the reason why the Maranello company could choose not to decline in future its electric model also in a sporty key.
