Ferrari EV finally set for global debut on October 9

KUALA LUMPUR: Ferrari is set to cause a stir in the premium electric car market with the rollout of its much-awaited EV later this year. The Italian automaker, known for its roaring petrol engines, will unveil its first battery-operated vehicle on October 9, 2025.

While announcing the company’s 2024 financial figures, CEO Benedetto Vigna confirmed that the EV would be introduced in a “unique and innovative way.” 

He further added “There is not a pattern really. People buy a Ferrari because when they buy a Ferrari, they have a lot of fun. They don’t buy a Ferrari because A, B, C, D or a single element. It’s a combination of things. When we do electric cars, we will produce them in the right way.”

The pure-electric Ferrari car is a part of the six new models the brand has planned to introduce in 2025. It will be manufactured at the company’s new E-building, recently inaugurated in the Maranello premises. The production will commence in 2026.
