Ferrari confirms first-ever electric vehicle for 2026 Launch

Ferrari has officially confirmed that its first fully electric vehicle will be delivered in October 2026, marking a major milestone for the luxury carmaker.

In a statement delivered during the company’s first-quarter earnings call, CEO Benedetto Vigna announced that the EV’s “technological heart”, believed to be its powertrain and battery system, will be unveiled on October 9, 2025. The date coincides with Ferrari’s Capital Markets Day.

This staged rollout includes three major steps: the tech reveal in late 2025, a global vehicle premiere in spring 2026, and customer deliveries beginning the following fall.

While Ferrari had teased the project in past years, this is the first time it has publicly committed to a production timeline. Insiders had previously speculated the car itself might debut in 2025, but delays appear to have pushed that schedule.

The brand has yet to confirm if the EV will take the shape of a grand tourer, a sports car, or even an SUV. Regardless of form, expectations are high for a model that blends Ferrari’s legendary performance with zero-emission engineering.

The EV will enter the market at a volatile time for the electric vehicle industry. While earlier years saw automakers race to electrify, many—like Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz—have slowed their ambitions due to lower-than-expected demand.

Ferrari, however, has maintained a balanced strategy. The company has no intention of going fully electric and will continue to produce petrol and hybrid models alongside its EVs. Its existing hybrid lineup, including the SF90 Stradale, continues to perform well.

Financially, Ferrari remains strong. Despite potential challenges posed by U.S. tariffs under Donald Trump’s policy proposals, the company projects annual earnings of $3.04 billion. In Q1 2025, Ferrari posted a 15% rise in core earnings and a 13% jump in revenue year-over-year.

That financial strength gives Ferrari the luxury of innovation without over-reliance on its EV’s commercial success. With anticipation building, the brand’s first electric model is shaping up to be as strategic as it is historic.
