The Ferrari e-building, where 300 people work, will host the production and development of Ferrari’s internal combustion engines, hybrid engines and new electric motors. The new building, in the shape of a parallelepiped with transparent windows, required two years of work and has a total surface area of 42,500 square meters in the northern expansion area of the Maranello production site.

Our goal is not to increase production capacity, but to have more flexibility to make more customizations for our customers. Hiring is also progressing”, underlines Vigna . In the first half of 2024 the Maranello company hired 250 young people. In the last ten years, employees have grown by approximately 75%, in the last six by 30%. “The e-building is concrete proof that at Ferrari we keep our promises.
