TapTechNews August 14th news, the automotive media motor1 released a blog post on August 8th, sharing the latest news about Ferrari's first electric car and sharing the latest renderings.
Name
Normally, the future name of a car can be guessed through the trademarks registered by the automaker, but the media said that no new trademark application from Ferrari has been found so far.
It is not yet clear whether Ferrari will give the electric car a formal name like Roma or Purosangue, or choose an alphanumeric name like 296GTB, or a descriptive name like 12Cilindri or LaFerrari.
Exterior Design
Ferrari invited Jony Ive, the former Apple design director, and industrial designer Marc Newson to design the exterior of the car.
The source of the news shared the latest renderings based on the existing revelations and the currently disclosed Ferrari design patents. TapTechNews attached the relevant pictures as follows:
Power
Ferrari has been cooperating with the South Korean automotive battery manufacturer SKOn, and the two companies recently signed a memorandum of understanding to continue the cooperative relationship. Therefore, although it cannot be guaranteed that the battery of Ferrari's first electric car must come from SKOn, the probability is quite high.
The source of the news estimates that this electric car will have at least two electric motors, and the top version may even have 3/4 electric motors.
Sound
Ferrari's chief executive officer, Benedetto Vigna, had previously said: Electric cars are not silent, but he did not disclose what kind of non-silent effect we should expect from Ferrari's first electric car.
Release Date
The Italian supercar manufacturer has not disclosed the specific details of its first pure electric model, but Vigna confirmed that the car will be unveiled by the end of next year and go on sale in 2026.
Pricing
It is said that the starting price of Ferrari's electric car will exceed 500,000 US dollars (TapTechNews note: currently about 3.578 million yuan), and Vigna responded that this price is a surprise for him, suggesting that the price will be lower than 500,000 US dollars.
