Ferrari's first electric vehicle is here!

According to an article published by CheDongXi on May 26th, just now, Ferrari officially unveiled its first all-electric model, Luce (which means "light" in Italian), at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The Ferrari Luce is the second four-door Ferrari and the first Ferrari model with five seats. However, Ferrari has not yet announced the price of the Luce. Previously, some media reported, citing anonymous sources, that the starting price would be approximately 550,000 euros (equivalent to about 4.3421 million Chinese yuan).

The new car was co-designed by the LoveFrom team founded by Jony Ive and Marc Newson. Jony Ive, known as the "soul of Apple's design," led the design of epoch-making products such as the iMac and iPhone during his tenure at Apple.

After leaving Apple in 2019, Jony Ive founded the design studio LoveFrom, and Ferrari quickly established contact with him. According to multiple media reports, the two parties officially signed a cooperation agreement in 2021, officially kicking off the Luce project.

From the project's inception to its global debut in May 2026, the process took approximately five years. Ferrari adopted a phased disclosure strategy: the underlying electric architecture was first showcased in Maranello in October 2025; the car's name and interior design were announced in San Francisco in February 2026; and the final exterior was revealed in Italy in May 2026. The first batch of deliveries is expected to take place in the first half of 2027.

Unique Exterior Design

Interior with a Distinct "Apple Style"

In terms of appearance, a striking feature of the Ferrari Luce is its front windshield, which extends downward in a shell-like shape below the waistline to the two ends of the body. Aerodynamic flaps are distributed above and around the cockpit contour.

The Ferrari Luce also boasts the largest difference in front and rear wheel diameters among Ferrari's production road cars. The front wheels are 23 inches, and the rear wheels are 24 inches. There are two wheel designs available: a forged five-spoke design and an aerodynamically optimized turbine design.

In Ferrari's first all-electric model, the interior combines mechanical buttons, knobs, levers, and switches with a central control screen.

The screens in the Ferrari Luce's cockpit are located in three display areas: the instrument cluster, the central control panel, and the rear panel. There are a total of four screens (12.9 inches, 12 inches, 10.1 inches, and 6.3 inches), using OLED screens from Samsung Display.

The steering wheel, torque control paddles, and instrument cluster are positioned in front of the driver. The instrument cluster can move in conjunction with the steering wheel to optimize the driver's view of the instruments. The three-spoke steering wheel is made from 100% recycled aluminum.

The instrument cluster features a multi-layer display that combines digital and mechanical gauges, with three dials. The left dial shows power, the central dial shows speed and battery charge on a gauge that combines mechanical pointers and a digital display, and the right dial can show seven types of functional data, which can be adjusted using the mechanical lever on the right analog control module.

The central control screen of the Ferrari Luce also has a unique design. It is mounted on an independent hinged panel, allowing both the driver and the front passenger to rotate the control panel towards themselves. There are three physical buttons for controlling the air conditioning, vehicle settings, and media system respectively. All exclusive air conditioning controls, such as cabin temperature, fan speed, seat heating, and ventilation, are physical buttons, enabling quick and intuitive operation while driving. The touchscreen is used for more in-depth air conditioning settings, media, and navigation functions.

A special area in the upper right corner of the central control screen is called the "Multifunctional Multigraph" by Ferrari. This area combines a mechanical dial and a digital interface, capable of displaying the clock, compass, or a 60-second chronograph, using a high-resolution custom-shaped OLED screen.

There is even a "color TV" in the rear of the Ferrari. The rear control panel of the Ferrari Luce can display real-time driving information and has a built-in rear air conditioning system.

The "big sofa" seats are also a highlight. Ferrari describes the seat comfort of the Luce as "highly functional, supportive, comfortable, and luxurious." All seats are independently electrically adjustable, with the front seats having a heating function and an optional massage function.

0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds

Range over 530 km

As Ferrari's first all-electric model, the powertrain is undoubtedly a major highlight of the Luce. Many of its technologies are "firsts for Ferrari" or "derived from F1," demonstrating Ferrari's commitment to electric vehicle technology.

Let's start by summarizing the performance parameters of the Ferrari Luce: 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, a top speed of 310 km/h, a range of over 530 km, and support for up to 350 kW fast charging.

So, what technologies does the Ferrari Luce incorporate to achieve these parameters? Ferrari released a detailed report of over ten thousand words to explain.

1. Powertrain System: F1 Motor Technology Transfer and a Three-Fluid Thermal Management System.

Specifically, the Ferrari Luce uses an 800V platform and is equipped with four permanent magnet synchronous motors derived from the Ferrari F80,
