Ferrari unveiled some key information about the upcoming Ferrari Elettrica, and there’s one thing that stood out.
We know it’ll be powerful, we know it’ll be fast, and we suspect it’ll be a four-door vehicle.
But what’s truly interesting is the engine sound.
Mainly because it’s not fake.

How Ferrari created a ‘real’ sound for its EV
Most EV makers resort to engine noise that’s essentially entirely fake.
That’s what Abarth did…
And also what Dodge did.
The idea is to create a sound that mimics that of an internal combustion engine to provide the same emotional experience.
It hasn’t really worked so far.
That’s why Ferrari chose a completely different approach that’s potentially ground-breaking.
Rather than manufacturing artificial noises, the Italian automaker decided to amplify existing sounds.
The company has created and patented a system that uses sensors to amplify organic vibrations and noises coming from components moving inside the engine, the chassis, and the battery pack.
Broadly speaking, that’s not so different from how the exhaust system of a gas car works.
Obviously, no one has any idea how it’s going to work yet, because Ferrari explained this, but didn’t provide a sample.
We’ll find out in a year, when the new Elettrica is due to be unveiled.
It won’t be a small car
We already knew this based on spy shots we’d seen…
But the new Ferrari Elettrica will probably be either an SUV or a sedan, and it won’t be small.
The wheelbase – ie, the distance between the front and rear axles – measures 296cm (116ins), and the car will be around five meters long (nearly 200ins).
This won’t be a small car.
And it’ll also be a heavy car, tipping the scales at around 2,300kg (5,070lbs).
It’ll have four engines, with rear-wheel steering, and 1,000hp.
The range is 330 miles, or 530km.
If everything goes to plan, the Italian supercar manufacturer is expected to officially introduce the Elettrica in late 2026.
