Ferrari has officially unveiled its state-of-the-art e-building facility, which will manufacture the brand’s very first supercar-price-revealed">electric vehicle, along with other internal combustion and hybrid models. Located in Maranello, this inauguration event was graced by the presence of Italian President Sergio Mattarella and Ferrari executives, further solidifying Italy's position at the heart of Ferrari’s innovations.
This e-building marks the largest expansion for Ferrari in recent years. Covering 50,830 square yards, it will be home to the production of all future Ferrari sports cars and supercars. Encompassing advanced manufacturing capabilities, the facility will also produce critical electrical components in-house, including high-voltage batteries, electric motors, and axles. A dedicated training space for employees has also been integrated.
Spotlight on Sustainability
Ferrari’s e-building isn't just about expansion and advanced automotive technology; it's also a testament to sustainability. The facility will be fully powered by renewable energy, utilizing over 3,000 solar panels installed on its roof to generate 1.3 megawatts of power. The automaker has also implemented innovative water and energy recycling methods. For example, 60% of the energy used for battery and motor testing will be recovered and reused in other processes. The integration of these green technologies underlines Ferrari’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
John Elkann, Ferrari's President, expressed immense pride at the inauguration event: "We are honored to have President Mattarella with us for the inauguration of the e-building, a plant that combines the centrality of the people in the workplace with respect for the environment. Investing in our territory is essential to prepare ourselves for Ferrari's future with confidence and confirms our commitment to Italian excellence and to our country."
Introducing Ferrari's First EV
Set to debut next year, Ferrari’s inaugural battery-electric vehicle signifies a monumental shift for the iconic marque. Slated for production to begin in early 2026, this EV is expected to come with a price tag that aligns with Ferrari’s legacy of exclusivity. Reports suggest a starting price around $535,000, possibly making it pricier than Ferrari’s recently unveiled 12Cilindri.
Then again, such high prices should come as no surprise, given the extensive investments Ferrari has made into the development and production of its first electric vehicle.
The e-building will ensure that the first all-electric Ferrari will also retain the quintessential characteristics that make a Ferrari, well, a Ferrari. From design to performance, this EV promises to deliver the unmistakable experience that enthusiasts and collectors expect. Additionally, the vehicle sounds crafted for this EV will aim to give it an authentic Ferrari feel, ensuring that it resonates with the brand’s legacy even in the electric era.
As Ferrari steps into the electric future, one thing is clear: while embracing cutting-edge technology and sustainability, the brand remains steadfast in its commitment to exclusivity and performance. The e-building stands as a symbol of this commitment, marking an exciting new chapter for the Prancing Horse.
