Ferrari is hard at work getting its first battery-electric car ready for production in 2025. Little is known about the car at the moment, but these renderings show what design direction Ferrari could take if it decides to make its first EV to make a Grand Tourer.

This creation is the work of designers Alban Larailler and Alexandre Bernini, both 5th year design students in Italy. Called the Ferrari Alto, the car appears to offer more emotion than a regular BEV, making it a better fit for the Prancing Horse emblem.

Perhaps the most intriguing element of the car is at the front. Hidden beneath the grille is a unique shroud around the electric motor that essentially turns the car into a wind instrument depending on how fast it moves. This may not be as evocative as a singing, dancing naturally aspirated V12, but it certainly seems intriguing.

Ferrari's electric future: visionary design or OTT extravaganza?

Visually, the Alto has little in common with current Ferrari models. The front fascia is very sharp with a pronounced splitter and an LED light bar that stretches the full width of the dashboard. The dramatic bodywork continues along the sides of the car with striking front side panels and curved door panels, completely free of traditional door mirrors.

We particularly like the rear, where you’ll notice an LED light bar, individual LED taillights and an F1-inspired third brake light just above the striking diffuser.

Ferrari is keeping tight-lipped about its first electric car and will likely continue to do so until it’s ready to unveil it to the world. Late last year, company CEO Benedetto Vigna revealed that he had already driven a prototype of the EV. In 2023, it was also revealed that Ferrari had filed a patent for an intriguing ‘sound reproduction device’ that could amplify the sound of the electric powertrain and send it out of a speaker near the rear axle.
