Ferrari is all set to unveil its first-ever electric car, the Elettrica, later this year. The EV is expected to make its public debut in May, but we might get to see its interior next week.
The Ferrari Elettrica will be based on a new, purpose-built electric architecture. Ferrari says that it offers an advanced driving position close to the front axle. The battery is integrated completely into the floorpan, with 85% of the modules concentrated in the lowest position possible, for a low centre of gravity.
The all-electric Ferrari will be equipped with two electric axles, developed in-house. The front axle delivers 282 hp and up to 3500 Nm to the wheels. It can be decoupled at any speed to transform the car to rear-wheel drive.
The rear axle delivers 831 hp and 8000 Nm in Performance Launch mode, for a combined output of over 1100 hp. Together the electric motors propel the Elettrica from 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds. The top speed is 193 mph. The 122 kWh battery is said to offer a range of around 530 km.
