Ferrari's first electric car has been revealed.

According to Motor1, this is one of the most anticipated and talked-about models from the Italian automaker in recent years.

The Ferrari Luce is developed on an entirely new platform, using four electric motors with a maximum power output of up to 1,050 horsepower. According to Ferrari, this model offers a driving experience that is "completely different" from any other high-performance electric car currently available.

Luce's design is also a major draw. The car was developed with the participation of LoveFrom studio – a studio founded by Jony Ive, the father of iPhone design.

Nevertheless, Ferrari stated that aerodynamics and performance remain top priorities before the design team finalizes the last design elements.

The car is nearly the same length as the Tesla Model S but about 5 cm lower than the Ferrari Purosangue. Ferrari specifically highlighted its drag coefficient of just 0.254 Cd without the need for an active rear wing.

The exterior is striking, featuring a black "teardrop"-shaped cabin, an aluminum body that hugs the central structure, and traditional round taillights. It boasts 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels, the largest ever seen on a production Ferrari.

The interior boasts a minimalist yet luxurious feel with numerous aluminum and glass details. Ferrari doesn't install as many screens as is currently the trend. Front passengers can rotate the central screen towards themselves instead of using individual screens.

Like the Purosangue, Ferrari's first electric car uses a rear tailgate mechanism that opens upwards. The trunk opens like a hatchback, with the rear window hinged to the tailgate instead of being fixed to the roof.

Notably, the Ferrari Luce boasts a true five-seat configuration thanks to the removal of the drivetrain tunnel. The luggage compartment has a capacity of over 597 liters – the largest ever seen on a Ferrari model.

In terms of operation, each wheel is equipped with an independent electric motor developed by Ferrari in-house at Maranello. The two rear motors deliver 355 kW each, while the two front motors provide 105 kW each. This drivetrain allows the car to independently control torque for each wheel and assists with rear-wheel steering.

Ferrari offers several different driving modes. In Range mode, the car uses only rear-wheel drive with 430 horsepower. Performance mode increases power to 986 horsepower and a top speed of 310 km/h. When Launch Control is activated, the car reaches its full 1,050 horsepower, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and from 0-200 km/h in 6.8 seconds.

Instead of simulating a gearbox like many other high-performance electric cars, Ferrari equips its vehicles with a Torque Shift Engagement system that allows drivers to adjust torque response and energy regeneration via paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.

The 800V battery pack is integrated as part of the chassis structure, lowering the car's center of gravity by nearly 9.5 cm compared to the Purosangue. Ferrari claims the driving experience is equivalent to a car that is about 400 kg lighter.

Developed in collaboration with the South Korean company SK On, the battery supports DC fast charging with a maximum power of 350 kW. Notably, the battery architecture has been designed to support future generations of batteries that are not yet commercially available.

Ferrari also developed its own sound system for the Luce. Instead of simulating the sound of a V8 engine, the system captures real vibrations from the electric motor and chassis to create the distinctive sound of a high-performance electric car.

The Ferrari Luce has a starting price of 550,000 euros (approximately 16.88 billion VND), excluding personalization options. The Italian automaker states that this is a mass-produced version, not a limited edition.
