Ferrari has finally revealed the official name for its first electric vehicle (EV), the Ferrari Luce, previously referred to as the Elettrica.

“Luce” means “light” in Italian.

Along with the name announcement, Ferrari also unveiled the actual design of the Luce’s cabin.

 

A Touch from a former iPhone designer

Ferrari collaborated with LoveForm, a design firm founded by former Apple designer Jony Ive.

Ive previously played a crucial role in the development of products like the Apple Watch, iMac, iPhone, MacBook, and iOS.

It’s no surprise that the layout of the Luce’s cockpit resembles more of an Apple product than a traditional Ferrari.

 

Unique key fob design

Starting with the key fob, it is made of Corning Gorilla Glass with an E Ink display.

When placed in the central console dock, the key changes color from yellow to black, simultaneously activating the control panel.

 

A modern classic cockpit

Unlike current EV trends influenced by large screens, the Luce emphasizes a more natural approach to physical controls.

The three-spoke steering wheel, inspired by Nardi designs from the 1950s and 60s, is made entirely from 100% recycled aluminum, making it 400 grams lighter than a standard Ferrari steering wheel.

The cockpit features two analog modules inspired by Formula 1, with each button tested to ensure a satisfying mechanical feel and sound.

 

Synchronized screens and steering

Behind the steering wheel lies a digital cluster screen, consisting of two overlapping display panels for an aviation-style three-dimensional effect.

This display will also adjust its position alongside the steering wheel.

Even though it is digital, Ferrari maintains a simple analog display that is easy to read at a glance.

 

Adjustable central screen

Uniquely, this central screen can be adjusted to face either the driver or the passenger.

There is a palm rest for more stable and ergonomic operation.

It also features physical controls for the cabin climate system along with four display modes: clock, chronograph, compass, and launch control.

 

Ready to drive?

On the center console, a transmission lever sits next to the key’s docking location.

It is also made of Corning Gorilla Glass and has a distinctive graphic effect.

The Launch Control knob is located on the overhead panel.

 

Ferrari Luce technical specifications

The Ferrari Luce’s powertrain unit has been developed entirely in-house and features a setup of four electric motors.

Two motors on the front axle produce 141 hp each, while two on the rear generate 416 hp each.

The total power output reaches 986 hp with an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds.

The 122 kWh NMC battery pack (made by SK On) offers a driving range of up to 529 km according to WLTP data.
