A new electric ‘supercar sedan’ is coming from former Lamborghini, Ferrari execs
Aiming to be the “Italian redefinition of electric mobility,” AEHRA is a new global ultra-premium EV mobility brand. After recruiting talent from Lamborghini and Ferrari, AEHRA looks to disrupt the auto industry with Italian design and world-class engineering. AEHRA is launching two new EVs, including an electric “supercar sedan” and an SUV.
Born in the US and raised in Italy, AEHRA’s founder and CEO, Hazim Nada, launched the new ultra-premium EV brand last June.
Nada aims to redefine ultra-high premium EV mobility by instilling the “very latest engineering, battery, and manufacturing technologies in a manner not yet achieved by any automaker.”
After founding Aero Gravity, Europe’s largest vertical wind tunnel, in 2015, NADA decided to use his advanced aerodynamics knowledge to reenvision the premium auto industry.
Nada realized “no automotive manufacturer was taking full advantage of emerging EV architecture to deliver a genuine step-change in vehicle aerodynamics, cabin space, comfort, and human journey experience.” Instead, he says, most automakers design and manufacture EVs like ICE vehicles.
To address this issue, AEHRA is optimizing its cars’ exterior and interior design based on Italian influence, including a dedicated EV platform.
The AEHRA team is led by Chief Design Officer Filippo Perini, former Lamborghini lead designer who oversaw the design of several iconic models, including the Murciélago LP 640, Aventador, Huracan, Centenario, and Urus.
In addition, AEHRA appointed Franco Climatti, who spent 32 years with Ferrari, as chief engineering officer earlier this year.
With a team of seasoned professionals from Lamborghini, Ferrari, Lotus, Alfa Romeo, and others behind it, AEHRA is releasing an electric SUV and supercar sedan.
AEHRA reveals its electric supercar sedan
After revealing the first images of its premium all-electric SUV last year, AEHRA said it would follow it up with a sedan model this year.
Holding true to its promise, AEHRA teased the first images of its electric sedan on Wednesday. AEHRA says the new sedan follows in the footsteps of the SUV version with “exquisitely beautiful flowing lines and exceptionally strong organic, muscular proportions.”
The company describes the profile and tapered rear design characteristics as something “that would typically be the preserve of a supercar show vehicle.”
Perini, head of design, explained:
At AEHRA, we do not believe in creating unrepresentative concept cars, so when we unveil the new Sedan at the Milano Monza Moving Motor Show on June 16th, the car will look virtually identical to the final production model that will arrive in 2026.
The electric supercar sedan will feature recyclable carbon fiber composite material and advanced engineering to deliver a unique all-electric driving experience.
AEHRA will begin production on the electric sedan in 2025, six months after the SUV, with deliveries following by 2026. Both are aiming for at least 800 km (497 miles) range. Perini told Autocar it was the “best vehicle” he has ever designed and “the exterior is amazing.”
To streamline production, the sedan will share 70% of its parts with the SUV, including a 3m-long monobody chassis and a 120 kWh battery. It’s also expected to be offered with two or three motors for up to 794 bhp output.
AEHRA plans to build 25,000 of each model, with a strategic global rollout scheduled in 2026, including North America, Europe, China, and the Gulf States.
Electrek’s Take
The company seems too good to be true – an all-electric premium EV brand led by a former Lamborghini designer and Ferrari Engineer.
Although the company has aggressive ambitions for the future, AEHRA says it has “substantial private funding in place” and a “clear roadmap to deliver on its unique transformative business model.”
We will learn more about the electric supercar sedan and the company’s plans during the model’s debut at the Milano Monza Moving Motor Show on June 16.

Lucid Motors (LCID) is recruiting more high-profile stars to spotlight its new luxury electric SUV, the Gravity.
The luxury EV maker is teaming up with some of the NBA’s biggest stars, Jalen Brunsen and Josh Hart, in its latest collaboration.
Lucid enlisted Jalen and Josh, teammates on the New York Knicks, for a new market campaign designed to celebrate “those who refuse to settle for the status quo.”
Keep a lookout this Wednesday, October 22, during the New York Knicks home opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers to see Jalen and Josh hype the Lucid Gravity electric SUV.
Lucid, Hart, and Brunson plan to showcase “how precise performance, cultural influence, and athletic excellence come together — on the court, on the road, and in the moments that move individuals.” The partnership is the latest as Lucid builds a roster of high-profile celebrities and athletes to promote the brand.
“To be one of the best, you have to be willing to do whatever it takes,” Brunson said, adding “It’s a commitment to improving every day, and never accepting that you can’t reach that next level. I see that same passion for excellence in Lucid.”
Lucid said the collaboration “underscores the brand’s mission to compromise nothing” as it builds a roster of high-profile celebs and athletes to promote the new Gravity electric SUV.
In August, Lucid teamed up with Timothée Chalamet, its first global brand ambassador, for an ad campaign called “Driven.”
Lucid also attended NFL star Travis Kelce’s, Kelce Car Jam last month. For every test drive, Lucid donated $87 to Kelce’s Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation. Kelce founded Eighty-Seven & Running in 2015 to mentor disadvantaged youth, help develop their skills, and motivate them to get out and do their best.
As it ramps up output, the EV maker has been actively promoting the Gravity. Last week, Lucid trolled Tesla on social media in a video asking Elon Musk’s Grok, “What’s the best luxury EV?”
Grok’s answer: The 2025 Lucid Air. Do you agree? ChatGPT and CoPilot said the same.

Elon Musk has openly threatened to leave Tesla, or at least his role as CEO, if he doesn’t get his ridiculous compensation.
He is now saying the quiet part out loud.
Tesla shareholders are about to vote on a new, controversial compensation package for Elon Musk.
While many are focused on the ridiculous size of the stock options, which could be worth up to $1 trillion, many analysts have highlighted other problems with the package.
A Reuters report last week noted that, with business as usual and a market capitalization growth below the S&P average, Musk could still receive one or even two tranches of his compensation package, worth between $20 billion and $40 billion.
In short, under the rules of the package, Musk could receive the biggest payday in history for returning below average returns.
That’s on top of the CEO already having received more compensation from Tesla than the company has earned in profits since its existence.
One commentator on X pointed out the concern about the first tranche of the compensation plan. Instead of addressing the genuine concern, Musk responded by boasting about Tesla’s market capitalization and suggesting that he won’t be Tesla’s CEO if he doesn’t get the pay:
Tesla is worth more than all other automotive companies combined. Which of those CEOs would you like to run Tesla? It won’t be me.
The CEO then shared posts encouraging Tesla shareholders to vote for the shareholders meeting, which is happening on November 6th.
Electrek’s Take
There are many issues with this comment. First off, it completely ignores a real problem with the comp package. Even if you believe that Musk would deserve $1 trillion in compensation for bringing Tesla’s valuation to $20 trillion, the package shouldn’t allow for Musk to make tens of billions from below average return.
It looks like the package is being used as a trojan horse to dazzle shareholders with the promise of unlikely crazy returns when the more likely outcome is to give Musk what would still be a record compensation for Tesla delivering a below average return on investment.
The fact that Musk doesn’t want to address this clear issue is a red flag.
Furthermore, Musk is using a dirty card: you play by my rules or I’m gone.
This is what I previously called the ‘Tesla Dilemma’: Elon Musk is destroying Tesla’s profitable car business, but at the current valuation, his lies about self-driving and robots is what is keeping the stock alive.
Therefore, Tesla shareholders are disincentivized to vote against Musk if he threatens to leave because he would leave with his stock pumping lies – leading in the stock crashing.
He has a complete hold on Tesla and he is going to force shareholders to give him another ridiculous stock compensation package.
