Ferrari’s ‘Luce’ Electric Car Arrives Early Thanks to Jony Ive’s Design

Official Start of the Ferrari Electric Era

We have witnessed the beginning of a new automotive era, which includes an electric Ferrari. It seems the brand even accidentally “leaked” the design of the new model a few minutes early during its own broadcast. However, we knew this was coming. We saw camouflaged test cars traversing Europe. Company executives avoided direct answers. Spy photographers hunted for disguised prototypes.

Yet it always felt like Maranello was trying to buy time before facing the biggest challenge in its modern history. Well, time is up. Meet the Ferrari Luce.

* This is a developing story. We will update this post as new details emerge.

    This car is not just another EV, but a true technological breakthrough from Ferrari. Impressive 1036 horsepower, four independent motors, and a range of over 500 kilometers make it a competitor to the world’s best hypercars, but with zero emissions.

This is a bold step for a brand always associated with the roar of a V12 engine, and it now proves that the future can be not only sustainable but also extraordinarily fast and emotional.
