One brand immediately brings sports cars to mind: Ferrari. Loud, fast, elegant. Few would associate electric cars with the Italian luxury manufacturer. That’s about to change, as the company itself now announces.
Ferrari is Working on a New Electric Car
The manufacturer has been working on hybrid technology since 2009, inspired by Formula 1. The first production hybrid model was the LaFerrari (2013). Since then, numerous other models have followed. In a press release, Ferrari now announces that the first all-electric car will soon arrive: the Elettrica.
The electric car appears to join the manufacturer’s lineup as a powerful overall package. In boost mode, it is expected to reach over 1,000 horsepower and accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. With a top speed of 193 miles per hour, it is also significantly above the average EV speed of 112–124 mph. Meanwhile, the range is expected to be over 329 miles.
Another highlight is expected to be the engine sound. As a typical characteristic of a Ferrari, the manufacturer does not want to deny this to customers in the Elettrica. “A high precision sensor picks up the mechanical vibrations of the powertrain components, which are amplified to offer an authentic aural experience that reflects the dynamic driving experience and provides the driver with direct aural feedback.”
