The first electric Ferrari will be an SUV!
This page is translated from the original post "La première Ferrari électrique sera un SUV !" in French.

Scheduled for 2025, this Watts Ferrari is expected to resemble a four-door super GT… but raised high to outrun critics.
For Ferrari, offering a fully electric model is undoubtedly a heartbreak. The brand has built its reputation on exceptional combustion engines, symbols of emotion and performance. Yet, facing market evolution and increasingly strict regulations, Ferrari has no choice but to embrace the electric transition. But how to do so without alienating its most radical customers? The answer seems to be… an SUV.
Scheduled for 2025, this first electric vehicle will not be a new hypercar, a role recently assigned to the exceptional F80 hybrid V6. Instead, it leans more towards a hybrid sedan/SUV, as suggested by the prototypes recently spotted near Maranello by influencer Varryx. A juicy detail: these test vehicles, camouflaged under a modified Maserati Levante body, feature horrible and chunky fake exhaust outlets covered with aluminum. A little Italian humor.
The choice of an SUV is strategic for Ferrari. Drawing inspiration from the success of the Purosangue, the Italian manufacturer is betting on a less controversial format that it now masters well: a four-door coupe SUV, offering comfortable rear seats and a sporty silhouette. This positioning allows the brand to offer an electric vehicle while maintaining some distance from its iconic supercars. Moreover, SUV’s are less easily criticized for their weight, which is the main drawback of electric vehicles.
Regarding performance, anything is possible. With the ability to incorporate impressive electric power, Ferrari could propose 1,000 horsepower and all-wheel drive. However, it is likely that the brand prefers a more measured approach to avoid competing directly with its lineup of supercars, but Ferrari will need to very subtly balance this. We know how easy it is to achieve significant power at low cost in the electric universe, as demonstrated by Xiaomi with its sU7 Ultra. By launching an electric car, Ferrari can no longer hide behind the piston trees of its V12s to justify outrageous prices. This shift could redefine the perception of the brand’s models’ value.
In short, the SUV seems to be the perfect compromise for Ferrari. A way to adapt to market realities without upsetting its passionate loyalists. Whether this electric gamble will win their approval remains to be seen.
