This is the first time our spy photography agency has captured the first electric vehicle (EV) from Ferrari out and about wearing its production body, with earlier prototypes featuring Maserati Levante panels.
Sadly we can’t discern much about the car’s design as this prototype is covered with flat false body panels from the waistline down.
Like the Purosangue, the EV will have frameless side windows. While the V12-powered SUV has smaller-than-normal reverse-hinged rear doors, it looks as though the EV will have full-size rear doors, meaning they’ll probably open in the normal manner.
The roof line looks quite flat, so headroom for those travelling in the back shouldn’t be too compromised.

While the Purosangue has a long dash-to-axle ratio due to the V12 engine, the EV’s front axle is much closer to the base of the windscreen. If the positioning of this vehicle’s air intake and radar are indicative of the production car, there will be quite a long front overhang.
Despite this prototpye’s wagon vibes, in the photo above we can see where the car’s real roof terminates with a spoiler at the top the tailgate. Judging from the diffuser or bash plate visible underneath the false body panels, we expect the Ferrari EV’s tailgate to be heavily raked to make for a coupe-like appearance.
The car will be unveiled in three stages, with an October 8 press event scheduled to detail the vehicle’s “technological heart”.
Until then we don’t know anything concrete about the vehicle’s power pack or drivetrain, but it’s fair to assume outputs will be large and straightline performance more than acceptable.
Previous statements from Ferrari indicate “fun” and “smiles” are a key focus for the engineering team. Earlier prototypes featured fake V8 sounds, so it’s clear Ferrari is keen to fill the aural void most EVs have.
After revealing drivetrain details in October, Ferrari will show off the interior in early 2026 before, finally, launching the car in the second quarter of next year.
Reports indicate pricing for the Ferrari’s first EV will start from US$500,000 (A$763,000) in the US, with the first cars arriving in driveways from the end of 2026.
Ferrari is expecting the EV to make up around five per cent of its annual sales, or about 700 units per annum. With overall EV sales growth slower than expected, and reluctance from the private jet set to embrace electric automotive exotica, it will be interesting to see if the target is achieved.
A report in June indicated Ferrari has postponed its second EV from late 2026 to 2028, at the earliest, due to “zero” long-term, sustained demand for a high-performance Ferrari EV.
