Ferrari’s Shift Toward Electric Supercars Gets Off to a Rocky Start

A disappointing forecast mars the coming-out of Elettrica, an EV that will test its loyal customer base.

At one of Italy’s largest Ferrari dealers, Edoardo Schön lifts the hood of a 1951 340 America that once raced at Le Mans, exposing the pristine V-12 underneath.

The blue-and-white grand tourer occupies a featured spot in the Milan showroom, flanked by vintage Testarossas, F40s and a 275 GTB4. Together, they project the heritage of racing performance and exclusivity that has long set Ferrari apart from would-be challengers, and keeps a steady stream of wealthy buyers coming into dealerships like Schön’s family-owned Rossocorsa.
