Ferrari has shed some light on the technical specifications of its upcoming all-electric hypercar.
The rumored Ferrari Elettrica features 2,960 mm (115.6 inches) of wheelbase, rear-wheel steering and 880V power internals. It utilizes two rear-axle e-motors borrowed from the Ferrari F80 to drive the wheels with 286 PS (282 hp / 210 kW) and up to 3,500 Nm (2,581 lb-ft) of torque, the latter figure made possible thanks to a custom reduction gear. The motors rev up all the way to 30,000 RPM.
In turn, the two motors at the rear end join their efforts for 843 PS (831 hp / 620 kW) and 8,000 Nm (5,900 lb-ft) of torque. They redline at 25,500 RPM. The car can momentarily hit the wheels with more than 1,000 horsepower (750 kilowatts) using a button labeled Boost Mode.
A 122-kWh battery pack under the floor drops the ride height by 80 mm (3.1 inches) compared to Ferrari’s traditional ICE cars. It delivers around 530 km (330 miles) of range per charge, although the number is liable to change. Despite packing 2.3 metric tons (2,866 lbs) of curb weight, the Elettrica snaps off the line and hits 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds. It maxes out at 310 km/h (192 mph). The company proudly points out a near-perfect 47/53 per-axle weight distribution ratio.
Drivers get not one, but two mode selectors to play with. The traditional Manettino lever lets you engage various modes to suit different road situations, ranging from Ice for maximum grip and safety assists to ESC-Off for disengaging all stability aids and going wild on the track. Active suspension and rear torque vectoring still apply in the ESC-Off mode, the company warns. Dry can be used for daily driving in dry weather, while Wet can help with rain-soaked streets and Sport can be engaged during the track days.
Sitting to the left of the steering column is the eManettino, a selector that lets you switch dynamically between RWD and AWD and cap the peak power output depending on your chosen drive mode. There are three modes to select from.
Impressively enough, Ferrari says the front shock absorbers now actively help absorb the impact energy during collisions. In turn, the front motors and invertor disengage from the wheels and dissipate their momentum before it can harm the chassis.
