- What appears to be an early development mule of Ferrari’s first EV was spotted in Maranello.
- The “Frankenstein” model combines a Maserati Levante body with Ferrari Roma headlights.
- This is not indicative of the bodystyle of the EV that will enter production in late 2025.
The first fully electric model from Ferrari is set to debut in 2025, but the company remains tight-lipped about its design and market positioning. Fresh spy shots from Maranello reveal what appears to be an early mule for the upcoming EV, featuring provisional components sourced from both Ferrari and Maserati models.
The mule resembles a coupe-crossover turned into a giant sporty hatchback, combining the five-door bodywork of a Maserati Levante SUV with much larger wheels and a lowered suspension. The LED headlights appear to be sourced from the Ferrari Roma, while the bespoke front bumper features BMW M2-style intakes.

Several intriguing details catch the eye. The quad tailpipes appear to be purely decorative, hinting at a fully electric powertrain. Further fueling the electric speculation are the vibrant yellow thunderbolt decals flanking the body and a completely blocked front grille. The large-diameter wheels, wrapped in Pirelli tires, necessitated modifications to the Maserati’s wheel arches. Plastic extensions were added to accommodate the wider track width.
The spy shots were shared on Instagram by Dutch photographer Derek Cornelissen. As with most early development mules, the pictured Ferrari doesn’t reveal much about the design of the final production model. However, it does provide an idea of the indicative size in terms of wheelbase and track width.

Ferrari remains tight-lipped about the bodystyle and specifications of its first EV, meaning it could potentially be a roadster, supercar, grand tourer, or even a Purosangue-style crossover; we just don’t know at this point.
An unnamed source with internal knowledge of the matter recently revealed that the EV will cost over €500,000 ($535,000), effectively making it a niche offering. The same source suggested that a second EV is already in the early stages of development, although its launch date is not near.

Last week, Ferrari unveiled its “E-Building,” a brand-new facility in Maranello dedicated to producing its new electric vehicle (EV) alongside internal combustion engine-powered (ICE) and hybrid models. The company confirmed that, similar to its existing V6, V8, and V12 powertrains, the electric motors, batteries, and axles for these new vehicles will be produced in-house.
Hopefully, the company will soon start testing actual prototypes of the EV dressed with the final production body, so we can learn more about it.
