Evinetta, the perfect fusion of the spirit of the Ferrari and the engineering of the Tesla

We are at a key moment in the automotive industry, in which a type of vehicle powered by the combustion engine is set to be abandoned in favour of electric motors. That does not mean that the iconic designs of the past have to be left behind and can no longer be enjoyed. The Evinetta is a clear example of this, and we can see it now, in 2022, while the transition has not yet taken place.

Power and the sensation of speed are two very compelling arguments that lead those who can afford a supercar to get one of them. And if those supercars have something more, such as a classic design that was important in its time, they have an extra edge. That is why the Evinetta was created, bringing the spirit of the Ferrari together with the heart of a Tesla Model S.

Evinetta, a unique model

The Evinetta is a unique model that was born a year ago, when the Instagram user @colorsponge offered a first look at the model, in the form of a render created together with designer Ash Thorp. The render showed the car in an urban setting at night, revealing only part of its bodywork and appearance.

Now, after a few months, they have made public that the project has become a reality and it has been possible to see it in the flesh. The supercar drew inspiration from several models of every style, but it is clear which one is its main source of inspiration.

The Ferrari Berlinetta served as the basis for this model. It was created by Pininfarina in the 1970s and became an icon for the brand. To bring this supercar into the 21st century, some panels have been modified and the aerodynamics refined. But its look is defined by the striking image of the model and takes the observer back to a golden era for Ferrari.

And, so that the driver misses nothing of what this model offered, the V12 engine that it originally had has been replaced by the powertrain of the Tesla Model S. The motor has been placed at the rear and the battery has been installed in the floor of the car to improve control while driving.

The suspension has also been modified and adapted to the new requirements. These have also meant that the car needs current systems for controlling the battery and motor. To that end, new solutions have been installed, which remain secret until this unique model is officially presented, one that takes the best of the past and adapts it with a very efficient electric powertrain.
