Ferrari teases new 1000+ horsepower vehicle that's unlike anything it's built before

It’s finally happening; the first Ferrari EV, known as the Elettrica, is coming, and it’s going to be unlike anything the supercar maker has created before.

Yes, it will run on batteries.

However, it will still have over 1,000 horsepower, because after all, EV or not, it’s still a Ferrari.

And perhaps best of all, you’re not going to lose out on the iconic roar of the engine either.

Keeping the iconic Ferrari roar

Let’s be honest: half the fun of driving a Ferrari has always been the noise.

That operatic, gas-guzzling V12 scream is as much a part of the brand as the prancing horse on the badge.

This is why the idea of an electric Ferrari might sound a little strange.

However, the brand clearly understands these concerns, because it recently teased a new technology, which will allow its EV to retain a ‘real’ engine sound.

By amplifying organic vibrations and noises coming from the powertrain, the carmaker hopes to replicate the roar of a gas engine in its EV.

The company insists the Elettrica won’t betray the brand’s DNA.

The carmaker says it will still deliver ‘driving thrills’ worthy of its name, and it’s backing that up with a massive investment in a new ‘e-building’ facility designed to ramp up production of hybrid and fully electric models.

The first Ferrari EV certainly has the specs to live up to expectations, as the company promises it will have over 1,000 horsepower, 0–60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, and a range of more than 330 miles.

EV supercars are becoming more common

Of course, not everyone’s ready to swap the roar of a V12 for the hum of an electric motor.

But the EV revolution is here, and it looks like even the Italian carmaker can’t avoid it.

Companies like Porsche have already begun pivoting to EVs, while Lamborghini seems a little more uncertain.

There’s also steep competition from brands that predominantly produce EVs.

The $250,000 BYD U9 Xtreme just made history with a sub-seven-minute lap at Nürburgring, proving that EVs are very capable of speed.

As the saying goes, if you can’t beat them, join them.
