In 2025, Ferrari is about to take a risk by launching its first 100 % electric car. After years of statements and speculation, the brand from Maranello seems ready to defy the skeptics and follow its electric trajectory, despite a still hesitant electric supercar market. But one question remains: will the electric Ferrari 100 % be able to retain the essence of the brand, in particular the bewitching sound of its combustion engines? And will that famous exhaust note, a false sound, live up to enthusiasts' expectations?
Electric supercars have yet to prove themselves convincingly on the market. Maserati, with its Folgore range, is struggling to win over connoisseurs, cancelling the launch of its MC20 Folgore supercarand Lamborghini has decided to postpone its electric model from 2028 to 2029The market is not yet ripe for this type of vehicle. These hesitations are understandable when you consider that one of the defining elements of a supercar is its engine, both in terms of power and sound. Ferrari, however, seems determined to keep the promise it made in 2022: its electric Ferrari will indeed be presented in 2025.. With just a few months to go before the reveal, videos and photos of prototypes are beginning to circulate on the Internet, offering a glimpse of this new-generation supercar.
The prototype of this Ferrari 100 % electric vehicle is surprising. Indeed, the bodywork (not yet definitive) is that of the Maserati Levante. But what's really striking in the videos posted on the web.., is the presence of dummy exhausts at the rear of the vehicle. Make no mistake, these elements are camouflage to hide the model's final design as much as possible.
A well-known carspotter, Varryx, recently published a video in which you can hear the sound of the Ferrari 100 % electric car during deceleration.. And therein lies the big question: will this artificial sound, which is supposed to imitate the sound of a combustion engine, convince the purists? Ferrari has always made the sound of its engines a real asset. Every Ferrari, from the entry-level model to the most exclusive supercar, has its own unique sound personality, a true signature of the brand. The idea of replacing this mythical roar with an electronically generated noise seems risky.
Some expect the sound of the electric Ferrari to be emitted by speakers built into the vehicle, a solution that has left many skeptical in the past. However, according to the latest information, Ferrari patents a sound generator capable of reproducing the sound of a V8 engine. This could make the sound more natural and immersive. But will this technological innovation meet the expectations of enthusiasts? After all, when you buy a Ferrari, it's not just for its performance, but also for the soul of its engine, an integral part of the driving experience.
In 2025, the electric Ferrari will be revealed to the general publicand its presentation promises to be one of the most important moments in the brand's history. If successful, it will pave the way for the electrification of the luxury automobile. Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Ferrari will do its utmost to ensure that its first 100 % electric car lives up to expectations.
