when even an EV 7 seat family Minivan can beat a ICE Ferrari to 60, is there any point to a EV Ferrari?
nope, maybe Ferrari better stick to Keyrings and overpriced hats and Shirts and give up cars entirely

people who dream of Ferrari do not dream of EV's
although who knows, thought the same about people who dream of Porsche et al never being people who want SUVs or sedans and yet they sell plenty of both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The new Ferrari Elettrica will get a sound 'inspired by the electric guitar'
How should an e-Ferrari sound? Like Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour or Jimmy Page, according to Ferrari...
It’s one of the big philosophical questions: what should an electric Ferrari sound like? Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour or Jimmy Page, according to Antonio Palermo. He’s the guy responsible for sound and vibration on the new Ferrari Elettrica.
Well, not exactly like those seminal guitar heroes, but they’re certainly in the mix. Palermo is a guitarist himself, so the analogy is apposite. He and his 20-strong team of engineers had two key targets when it came to giving sonic life to the electric Ferrari: they didn’t want to fake it, or replicate the sound of an existing Ferrari engine. And it had to be authentic and new.
The solution is fascinating. An accelerometer on the inverter casting on the rear axle picks up the frequencies of the powertrain which are then amplified in the cabin. Hence the comparison with the electric guitar, wherein a pickup converts string vibrations into an electrical signal that’s then sent to the amplifier. The very essence of rock’n’roll, you could argue, since Les Paul and Leo Fender set the music world spinning on its axis back in the Fifties.
A combustion engine, of course, causes vibrations and oscillations in the air. That’s as natural as breathing. Are there really sounds trapped inside a metal box worth amplification? Palermo insists that there are.

Official: the Ferrari Elettrica will be a quad-motor, 1,000bhp+ four-seater
Ferrari has teased the first details of its hot new EV, which'll get a paddle-shift ‘manual’ mode
Listen carefully and you can probably hear Enzo Ferrari spinning in his grave like a V12’s crankshaft, because the first pure-electric Ferrari is almost ready for production.
We’ll have to wait until the first half of next year to see the interior and exterior design (the very unofficial image above is what we reckon it might look like - we’re expecting a four-seater similar in shape to the GTC4 Lusso, probably with a more cab-forward design. We’ll also learn the real name, Elettrica is just a working title for now), but to whet our appetites, Ferrari has revealed a glut of technical details around the chassis, motors, batteries and software and we went to Maranello to hoover it all up.
Starting with the motors. There’s four of them, two on each axle - permanent magnet synchronous motors, with Hallbach array rotors no less. All you need to know is they’re derived from F1 tech, almost identical to those you’ll find on an F80 and designed and built in-house. The front motors produce a combined 282bhp, the rear a combined 831bhp, for a total somewhere north of 1,000bhp (you don’t simply add them, final figure is still tbc) with a faintly absurd torque figure of 2,582lb ft on the front axle and 5,900lb ft on the rear. The 1,183bhp F80 pips it as the most powerful Ferrari ever, but with a 0-62mph time of 2.5s and a top speed of 193mph, it’s no slug.

Maranello reveals technology behind Ferrari's first electric car
The soul of a Ferrari has always been its engine - for many fans around the world, it is a true symphony of screaming pistons. But the times are changing, and the legendary Italian automaker is composing a new piece - and this one is powered by electrons instead of gasoline. Ferrari's first-ever fully electric vehicle, tentatively named the "Elettrica," is packed with technology that promises to redefine what an EV can be.
Set to be a grand tourer with practical back seats, the Elettrica is not the low-slung, two-seat supercar some might expect. Instead, it seems to draw inspiration from the company's more versatile models, like the GTC4Lusso and the wildly popular Purosangue SUV.
Powering this new machine are four electric motors, developed and built in-house at Ferrari's Maranello factory. In its most aggressive "Boost mode," this quartet of motors will deliver close to 1,000 horsepower, launching the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.
The power is heavily biased toward the rear, with two 416-horsepower motors that spin up to 25,000 RPM. Up front, two smaller 141-horsepower motors can decouple entirely, allowing for efficient cruising. The car's top speed is projected to be 309 km/h.
Ferrari has engineered a unique solution for the battery. The Elettrica features a large 122 kWh battery pack, also built in Maranello, which is integrated directly into the car's chassis. Most of the battery modules are placed behind the driver and under the rear seats, helping to achieve a weight distribution of 47% front and 53% rear.
On an 800-volt system, the car can handle fast charging up to 350 kW. Ferrari claims a range of 530 km on the European WLTP cycle, which will likely translate to just under 483 km in official EPA testing in the US. In a nod to longevity - a key concern for car collectors - the battery is modular, designed so it can be replaced with future technologies to keep the car on the road for decades.
One of the biggest challenges for performance electric cars is their weight. The Elettrica is expected to weigh around 2,300 kg, similar to the Purosangue. To make a car this heavy feel nimble and athletic, Ferrari is employing some serious technological wizardry.

Ferrari reveals tech secrets of new Elettrica EV, including guitar-inspired driving soundtrack
Sacrilegious or not, Ferrari is pushing ahead with the development of its first-ever fully electric vehicle, as the European Union’s ban on new internal combustion engine vehicles looms large in 2035.
The Italian supercar maker has released all the pertinent powertrain details on its new EV, which is codenamed Elettrica, but which is likely to receive a different name at launch. It will be revealed in 2026 as a four-seat model similar in concept to the GTC4 Lusso, and some interesting intel has also emerged on how it might sound.
Knowing its customers would quite rightfully turn their noses up at fake engine sounds, engineers have devised an amplification system for the e-motor, which takes inspiration from electric guitars.
It starts with a high-precision sensor on the rear axle, which picks up the frequencies of the powertrain. These are then amplified and projected into the surroundings, as with an electric guitar. This soundtrack is generated by a sophisticated control system that was developed entirely in-house.
The result, Ferrari says, is an “authentic voice unique to the electric engine” and which only makes itself heard when functionally useful, such as under acceleration or after gearing down.
Ferrari has confirmed that the Elettrica will be powered by four synchronous permanent magnet electric motors, with rotors derived from F1 technology. In keeping with the brand ethos, power delivery will be rearward biased, with the more powerful back axle motors collectively producing 620kW. A staggering 8,000Nm of rear torque can be transferred to the tarmac in Performance Launch mode, Ferrari says.
Smaller motors on the front axle gang up to produce 210kW, but these can be completely decoupled to allow full rear-wheel drive propulsion. Offering ultra-responsive all-wheel drive when extra traction is needed, these e-motors can be engaged or disengaged in just 500 milliseconds.

I like the look of the new Testarossa tbh. They have brought prettier cars, but it's still a looker in its own right.

well that thing hurts my eyes - it is one of the ugliest Ferraris in their recent history (and i did not like the F80 either - and to me the Daytona Sp3 was the last okay car they designed) ..... you are free to disagree with me

The Daytona Sp3 was great. Absolutely iconic. Bit of a high bar to judge everything else by though. They can't make them all look the same. Didn't like the F80 either. Like a transformer with a dysfunction or something.well that thing hurts my eyes - it is one of the ugliest Ferraris in their recent history (and i did not like the F80 either - and to me the Daytona Sp3 was the last okay car they designed) ..... you are free to disagree with me
