Ferrari Elettrica – Ferrari’s First Full EV: What You Should Know
1. Introduction
Ferrari has officially revealed the chassis and powertrain of its first fully electric car, the Ferrari Elettrica.  For UAE buyers who track performance cars and custom wheel upgrades via our site WheelsAE, this model marks a turning point in luxury mobility. With over 1,000 horsepower and a host of new engineering details revealed, it commands attention not only for what it is—but for how the aftermarket (including wheels, finishes, fitments) will respond.

2. Key Specifications & Tech Highlights
According to Ferrari’s disclosures:
• It will have four in‑house developed electric motors, one per wheel axle, totaling over 1,000 hp in boost mode. 
• A 122 kWh battery pack is reported, giving a range of roughly 530+ km (330+ miles) in early WLTP estimates. 
• Top speed is stated around 310 km/h (193 mph) and 0‑100 km/h in roughly 2.5 seconds. 
• The chassis is made using 75% recycled aluminium and engineers report the centre of gravity is 80 mm lower than comparable ICE models. 
• Ferrari emphasises the sound design is unique: they’ve used accelerometer‑based motor vibrations to create an authentic “electric Ferrari” sound rather than faking an engine.

3. What It Means for UAE Buyers
For wealthy performance‑car enthusiasts in the UAE, the Elettrica carries several implications:
• Collectible status: Being Ferrari’s first full EV, it will likely attract high demand in the Gulf region with limited initial volumes.
• Wheel & custom upgrade market: With such high power and performance technology, the need for ultra‑premium wheels, tyres, and fitment support becomes crucial. Brands like WheelsAE can highlight forged 21”‑22” or bespoke wheel sets tailored to this car and future electrified luxury vehicles.
• Infrastructure awareness: While the UAE has strong EV infrastructure, owners must still consider high‑performance charging, range under desert conditions, and suitability of accessories and wheels for local climate.
• Aftermarket opportunity: With a new chassis and likely new bolt patterns, offsets and optimised wheel setups become a strong topic for custom shops—for large diameter wheels, lightweight performance rims, and finish options that suit a Ferrari EV.

4. Fitment & Custom Wheel Considerations
When planning aftermarket wheels for a car like the Elettrica, keep these points in mind:
• The car’s power and torque deliver extreme loads to the wheels, so a high‑strength forged wheel is preferred.
• With a likely oversized brake package and potentially novel bolt or hub specifications, you’ll need wheels that support OEM brake clearance.
• For the UAE market, finishes must withstand high heat, sun exposure, and occasional off‑road or track use, so coatings, powder‑finish protection, and fitment precision matter.
• Signature styling: Considering Ferrari’s shift to EV, offering “electric style” rims—lightweight, aero‑inspired, with maybe carbon accents—can appeal to owners in the UAE who invest in wheels as part of their identity.

5. Pros & Cons for the UAE Market
Pros:
• Incredible performance credentials from the start
• Ferrari badge + first‑EV novelty
• High aspiration factor = strong resale, brand appeal
• New aftermarket niche: EV luxury + custom wheels
Cons:
• Very high expected price—likely > €500,000. 
• Full reveal body & styling still pending (chassis only shown). 
• Infrastructure demands: high‑power charging, servicing for new tech
• Aftermarket parts for brand‑new model may be limited in launch phase

6. Will It Fit the UAE Lifestyle?
Yes — if you’re serious about performance and have the budget. However, if your car usage includes daily commuting, off‑road 4×4‑play or heavily modified wheel builds, consider whether you’ll benefit immediately from an EV hyper‑GT like this. In the UAE context—heat, sand, high ambient temps—the build quality and accessories (including wheels) must match the environment.
