Ferrari CEO reveals (by mistake?) where you could see the electric Ferrari before its unveiling

Dreaming of surprising the first electric Ferrari before anyone else? Pack your sleeping bag, a good flashlight... and a sturdy mosquito repellent.

Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrariwho delivered the news himself during the company's latest second-quarter results conference call. Between two reassuring figures on Maranello's financial health, he slipped in a surprising anecdote: the first electric Ferrari 100 % is currently being tested... at night, without camouflage, in the province of Verceil and around Balocco.

"We have to test it at night because it runs without camouflage," explained Vigna, noting that he drives it himself, alongside finance director Antonio Picca Piccon, in places "full of mosquitoes".

In other words, you don't have to wait for a trade show or an official teaser to catch a glimpse. If you're in northern Italy, between Vercelli and Balocco, and you hear a slight whistle after midnight, it might not be a mosquito, but a silent Ferrari.

All the more so as Ferrari seems to be moving ahead with full steam ahead. Vigna assures us: "no delays" on the project, with three stages planned:

• October 2025: presentation of the technological core at Maranello
• Early 2026: unveiling of the interior
• Spring 2026: full reveal of the car

Ferrari knows it's playing for big bucks. According to its CEO, there is a clientele eagerly awaiting this car, whether European or not, young or old. As Vigna himself says, some are ready to become "ferrarists" as soon as the electric car arrives. In other words, the curiosity effect is already there, even without the sound of the V12.

As for the rest of the product plan, Ferrari is proceeding as promised: six models to be unveiled in 2025, including three by the end of the year. And a major communication plan to come in October on the roadmap to 2030. Proof that Maranello is staying the course despite an unstable global context.

So if you're a carspotter, a fan of the brand or simply curious, take note: the first electric Ferrari is already on the road, at night, and who knows, with a good zoom, a little patience and a headlamp, you might be the first to see it.
