Ferrari Luce Officially Launched | Italian supercar brand Ferrari officially launched its first all-electric sports car, the Ferrari Luce (meaning “light” in Italian), in Rome on May 25, 2026.
Ferrari’s first all-electric sports car, the Ferrari Luce (meaning “light” in Italian)
The exterior and interior design of the Ferrari Luce were created with the deep involvement of LoveFrom, a design firm founded by former Apple chief designer Jony Ive and renowned industrial designer Marc Newson, resulting in a stunning design that is both forward-thinking and classic.
Exterior: Five “glass houses” that break the mold and extremely low drag lines
The Luce measures 5,026mm in length, 1,999mm in width, and 1,544mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,961mm. It is Ferrari’s first 4-door, 5-seater model.
According to Ferrari’s official website, the upper half of the Luce’s body is encased in a large area of Corning Fusion 5 glass.
The car’s side profile is sleek, with a flying bridge-style C-pillar and rear-hinged doors, giving it a futuristic, spaceship-like feel.
At the same time, Luce set a new record for the lowest drag coefficient in Ferrari road car history.
LoveFrom is deeply integrated with Ferrari’s design center. The front features an active grille and a fully automatic intelligent aerodynamic management system. At low speeds, the front air intakes open for efficient battery cooling, while automatically closing at high speeds to reduce drag. A seamlessly connected front and rear wing design creates a “virtual Kammback effect” at the rear, magically reducing air resistance while providing powerful downforce.

In addition, when the vehicle is traveling at high speed, the suspension will actively lower by 10 mm to reduce the frontal area and shield the wheels from turbulence. Combined with the fully flat chassis battery pack, airflow is allowed to glide perfectly over the body, achieving a perfect balance between cooling, energy saving and ultimate aerodynamics.
Interior: Solid mechanical components and 3D curved instrument panel, a departure from the screen trend
Opening the rear doors reveals an interior that isn’t cluttered with “large LCD TVs” like most mainstream electric cars these days. Jony Ive has achieved a harmony between modern technology and Ferrari’s rich history.
Against the trend of pure touchscreens: Unlike the current electric vehicle market’s pursuit of “large screens and full touchscreens” for a high-tech feel, Luce goes against the grain, retaining a large amount of mechanical operation.
The center console features a screen similar to an enlarged Apple Watch, equipped with various metal levers, physical air conditioning buttons, and analog multi-function gauges.
100% Recycled Aluminum Alloy Process: The steering wheel and many interior components are made of 19 high-precision CN-milled parts, crafted from 100% recycled aluminum alloy. The surface undergoes an advanced anodizing process, demonstrating environmental awareness while retaining the delicate mechanical warmth.
3D Parallax Instrument Panel: Developed in collaboration with Samsung, this curved OLED screen features a unique dual-layer parallax effect, making driving information appear to “float” in the air, inspired by classic aviation instruments.
Energy Activation Ceremony: The car key combines glass with an E-Ink (electronic ink) screen. When the key is inserted into the cockpit base, the display color changes from yellow to black, as if energy is being officially injected into the car body.

Performance: F1 Halbach Array
The Luce features a massive 122kWh lithium-ion battery pack composed of 210 high-nickel pouch cells, and a 4-motor, 4-wheel drive configuration. It boasts a maximum output of 1,050 hp (ps) and a staggering 11,500 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, with its top speed electronically limited to 310 km/h.
Ferrari has put the soul of F1 (Formula One) into its engine.
For the first time, the motor rotor incorporates a racing-grade Halbach array permanent magnet structure.
This technology pushes the motor’s torque density to its physical limits while achieving extreme weight reduction. The rear axle motor can reach an astonishing maximum speed of 25,500 rpm.
This provides a continuous stream of high-speed power. The WLTP range exceeds 530 kilometers and supports DC fast charging up to 50kW.
The newly launched dedicated app allows owners to remotely control the air conditioning system and charging settings, and supports real-time vehicle status monitoring. (Ferrari)
A pure electric roar that doesn’t lose its soul.
Ferrari officially stated that what supercar enthusiasts value most is the “sound” and “emotion” of a supercar. To this end, Ferrari specially developed a unique mechanical acoustic and motor vibration system for the Luce.
It doesn’t simply play fake sound effects; rather, through mechanical structures and motor operation, it simulates the powerful sound and tactile feedback of a traditional V12 engine, ensuring that even in the all-electric era, driving a Ferrari can still be exhilarating.
