Ferrari E-Vortex, the new secret circuit nestled in Maranello

The Italian manufacturer continues the modernization of its development tools with a new track adjacent to Fiorano, the E-Vortex.

In a record time of less than four months, Ferrari has completed the construction of its brand new testing circuit called e-Vortex, located just a few meters from the legendary Fiorano track. Covering 1,887 km in length and occupying 37,000 m², this facility marks a strategic step for the Prancing Horse brand in the validation and development of its road cars.

Designed to meet the most demanding technical standards, Ferrari e-Vortex will allow performance and behavior tests to be carried out in a fully controlled environment, while adhering to the highest safety levels. The track has been divided into several specific zones: two large banking curves with a longitudinal slope, a 600-meter central straight, and a series of technical corners intended to analyze vehicle dynamics.

Ferrari has also developed special coatings, inspired by its racing experience, allowing for detailed examination of comfort, grip, and performance. Thanks to this approach, engineers will be able to transfer some road testing to this dedicated track, ensuring more objective evaluations of models and quicker detection of potential issues.

Beyond technical benefits, concentrating the tests within the e-Vortex complex will help reduce the amount of testing on public roads around Maranello, thereby limiting nuisances for local residents.

In addition to the track itself, Ferrari inaugurated a 1,000 m² workshop adjacent to the circuit. This building will be used for static checks and certain maintenance operations, optimizing internal workflows and the inspection processes for vehicles exiting production.

With e-Vortex, Ferrari affirms its desire to push the boundaries of automotive development by equipping its engineers with a state-of-the-art tool capable of accelerating the tuning of its thermal, hybrid, and electric models, while maintaining the technical excellence that has made Maranello famous.

Key features of the e-Vortex circuit
• Total length: 1,887 m
• Total surface: 37,351 m²
• Lane width: from 6 to 14 m
• Main straight: 600 m
• Workshop: 1,000 m²
• Special coating: porphyry paving
• Dedicated zones: NVH analysis (noise, vibrations, hardness), comfort, and durability
• Construction duration: less than 4 months
