Ferrari makes waves with the announcement of the Luce, its first 100% electric car. More than just a model, it embodies a bold philosophy of innovation and elegance, blending tradition and modernity. Get ready to dive into a universe where every detail matters and where electrification becomes a new form of art.
A name full of meaning
Ferrari has unveiled the name of its first fully electric car: the Luce. This name is not just a simple label; it symbolizes the brand’s commitment to the future while inaugurating a new naming strategy for a model that promises to expand the Prancing Horse’s lineup. “Luce” evokes light, and according to Ferrari, it goes far beyond technology; it’s a philosophy. Electrification is presented as a means, not an end, in an era where design, engineering, and imagination merge to create something truly unprecedented.
Three highlights for the presentation
The presentation of the Luce revolves around three key moments. The first act was the revelation of the technology in October 2025, at the e-building in Maranello. The second, held in San Francisco, showcased the interior, while the third, taking place in May 2026 in Italy, will focus on the exterior design. This global journey highlights Ferrari’s desire to create an immersive experience around its new model.
A crucial element of this adventure is the collaboration with LoveFrom, the creative collective founded by Jony Ive, former Apple designer and creator of the first iPhones, along with Marc Newson. Together, they are working hand in hand with the Centro Stile Ferrari led by Flavio Manzoni to redefine the relationship between the driver and their car. The goal is clear: to preserve the essence of Ferrari while integrating new electric technologies, all in a design language that blends craftsmanship and innovation.
Ferrari Luce: first glimpse of the interior
The interior of the Luce stands out for its elegant simplicity, where physical controls and digital displays blend. In Maranello, the brand has chosen a traditional approach, favoring buttons, knobs, and mechanical switches while limiting the use of large touch screens. It features a three-spoke steering wheel, inspired by iconic models from the 1950s and 1960s, with analog control modules and tactile feedback made from recycled aluminum, lighter than those of current models.

The car starts via a glass key equipped with an E-Ink screen, triggering a captivating light choreography between the central tunnel and the dashboard. Inside, three screens are in place: the driver’s binnacle, attached to the steering wheel, features stacked OLED screens, while two control panels include a central rotatable one with a three-needle Multigraph.

The graphical interface draws inspiration from Ferrari’s historical analog instruments, displaying a minimalist aesthetic. Materials such as recycled aluminum and Corning Fusion5 glass, resistant to scratches and impacts, complement this environment that is both technological and sustainable. Even the transmission selector is made from micro-perforated glass with laser machining, a true jewel of technology.
Ferrari Luce: the technology
The Ferrari Luce is built on a promising technological platform, capable of delivering performance worthy of a true Ferrari despite the absence of a thermal engine. Under the floor, integrated into the chassis, a 122 kWh battery ensures a range of over 530 km while allowing for high-power charging.
Ferrari Elettrica: the technology and the e-building factory
The electric heart of the Luce is powered by four synchronous permanent magnet motors, two per axle, with technologies directly inspired by Formula 1. The combined power exceeds 1,000 hp, with an impressive 0 to 100 km/h sprint in about 2.5 seconds and a top speed announced to exceed 310 km/h.

The torque distribution to each wheel, coupled with technical solutions like an elastic rear cradle and active suspensions, ensures dynamic driving pleasure and impeccable control. The Luce does not sacrifice the comfort or efficiency typical of a modern GT. In short, this electric supercar promises to be a true masterpiece of engineering.
