Ferrari sheds light on its first all-electric supercar: the Ferrari Luce

The legendary Italian carmaker has finally pulled the curtain back on the Ferrari Luce, its very first attempt at electric cars. This is a massive shift for a company known for screaming gasoline engines. Many fans were worried that an electric Ferrari would be boring, but the company invited famous designers to help make the cabin feel special. The big event held in San Francisco revealed the inside of the car, built in partnership with a creative team, LoveFrom.

The name "Luce" means "light" in Italian, and the company says it stands for a new way of thinking. They aren't just trying to follow a trend. Instead, they want to use electricity to make driving even more exciting. The Ferrari Luce will be a four-door, four-seater grand tourer that weighs about 5,071 lb. It will have four electric motors - two in the front and two in the back. Together, these motors will deliver around 1,000 horsepower, helping the car go from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds.

The biggest surprise is the interior. Ferrari used lots of physical buttons and knobs that feel nice to touch. The steering wheel is made from 100% recycled aluminum and is inspired by the thin wooden wheels from the 1950s. It is 400 grams lighter than a normal Ferrari wheel and has simple controls that look like they came from a Formula One race car. The team focused on the "click" sound of the buttons to make sure they felt perfect.

Technology is still a huge part of the Ferrari Luce. There are three main screens, including a 12.5-inch display for the driver made by Samsung. This screen uses special layers to create a 3D effect. There is also a screen in the middle of the dash that sits on a swivel. This lets the driver or the passenger turn the screen toward them. To help the driver stay focused, the main instrument cluster is attached to the steering column - when you move the wheel up or down to get comfortable, the screen moves with it.

Starting the car will be a true show in its own right. The key is made of very strong Gorilla Glass, which is usually found on high-end smartphones. When you put the key into its slot on the center console, the built-in e-ink screen changes color from yellow to black. At the same time, the dashboard lights up to let you know the car is ready to go. Even the gear shifter is a work of art. It is made of precision-milled glass, and the letters on it were etched using lasers.

We haven't seen the outside of the car yet, but we know it has a wheelbase of 116.5 inches. This makes it slightly shorter than Ferrari's big SUV, the Purosangue. The body is also made with 75% recycled aluminum, and even though the car is quiet, Ferrari didn't want it to be silent. Special technology picks up the natural sounds of the electric motors and tires, then plays a louder version of that sound.

Underneath all that luxury is a very powerful 122 kWh battery pack that provides a range of about 329 miles on a full charge. Because it uses an 880V system, it supports up to 350 kW fast charging. The full version of the Ferrari Luce, including the exterior design, will be revealed in Italy in May 2026. Ferrari hasn't officially listed a price yet, but experts expect it to cost at least $535,000.
