Everything You Need to Know About Ferrari's First Electric Car

For decades, Ferrari has been defined by V12s, V8s and some of the most engaging performance cars ever built. Now, that changes.

The all-new Ferrari Luce is officially Ferrari's first fully electric production vehicle, marking one of the most significant moments in the brand's 79-year history. Designed from a clean sheet as an EV rather than an electrified version of an existing Ferrari, the Luce introduces an entirely new chapter.

According to Ferrari, the Luce has been created to redefine what a Ferrari can be in the electric age, combining supercar performance, grand touring comfort, everyday usability and advanced electric technology into a single vehicle.

What Is The Ferrari Luce?

The Ferrari Luce is Ferrari's first fully electric production vehicle and the first Ferrari ever designed entirely around battery-electric technology.

Unlike many manufacturers that convert existing combustion models into EVs, Ferrari developed the Luce from a completely new platform. The result is a four-door, five-seat high-performance grand tourer that combines practicality with Ferrari-level performance.

The name "Luce" translates to "light" in Italian and symbolises Ferrari's vision for the future of performance mobility.

 

Ferrari Luce Design

The Luce may be the most controversial Ferrari ever built.

Co-designed with legendary former Apple design chief Sir Jony Ive and the LoveFrom design team, the Luce abandons traditional Ferrari proportions in favour of a futuristic grand touring silhouette.

Key design features include:

  • Aerodynamically optimised bodywork

  • Centre-opening rear doors

  • Extensive glass architecture

  • Integrated lighting systems

  • Ferrari's lowest drag coefficient ever

  • A spacious five-seat layout

Some enthusiasts love the bold new direction, others argue it doesn't look like a Ferrari at all.

 

Performance

This was always going to be the biggest question, Ferrari's answer is simple: performance comes first.

The Luce uses four electric motors, one driving each wheel independently. This allows Ferrari's engineers to control power delivery, torque distribution, regeneration and vehicle dynamics with unprecedented precision.

Ferrari Luce Performance Figures

  • 1,035 horsepower

  • Four independent electric motors

  • 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds

  • 0-124 mph in 6.8 seconds

  • Top speed exceeding 193 mph

Those numbers place the Luce among the fastest production EVs in the world.

Advanced torque vectoring, active suspension and independent wheel control have been engineered to deliver the responsiveness and driver engagement Ferrari customers expect.


Battery, Charging And Range

The Ferrari Luce features a substantial 122 kWh battery pack integrated directly into the vehicle's structure.

Ferrari Luce Battery Specifications

  • 122 kWh battery capacity

  • Ferrari-developed battery architecture

  • Structural battery integration

  • Bespoke 800V electrical platform

Charging

The Luce supports ultra-fast charging at speeds of up to 350kW, allowing rapid charging during long-distance journeys.

Range

Ferrari claims:

  • Up to 329 miles (530km WLTP)

  • Around 280 miles estimated EPA range

While some luxury EVs prioritise maximum range, Ferrari has focused on balancing performance, handling and charging capability.

 

Ferrari's Solution To The EV Sound Problem

One of the defining characteristics of every Ferrari has always been its sound. Without a V8 or V12 engine, Ferrari faced a significant challenge.

Rather than creating artificial spaceship noises, Ferrari developed a patented sound system that amplifies genuine mechanical vibrations from the electric drivetrain.

The result is an EV that produces a distinctive sound linked directly to vehicle performance and driver inputs.

Whether it becomes as iconic as Ferrari's combustion engines remains to be seen, but it demonstrates how seriously Ferrari is taking driver engagement in the electric era.

 

Inside The Ferrari Luce

The interior represents perhaps the clearest influence from Jony Ive and LoveFrom.

Unlike many modern EVs that rely entirely on touchscreens, Ferrari has deliberately combined digital technology with physical controls.

Highlights include:

  • OLED display system

  • Rotating central touchscreen

  • Rear passenger displays

  • Physical switches and controls

  • Premium leather materials

  • Recycled aluminium trim

  • 21-speaker premium audio system

The cabin is also the most spacious Ferrari has ever produced, comfortably accommodating five adults and substantial luggage.

 

How Much Does The Ferrari Luce Cost?

The Ferrari Luce sits at the very top of the luxury EV market.

Expected pricing starts from:

  • £440,000 in the UK

  • €550,000 in Europe

  • Approximately $640,000 in the United States

That makes the Luce significantly more expensive than performance EV rivals such as the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, Lucid Air Sapphire and Tesla Model S Plaid.

For Ferrari buyers, however, exclusivity and engineering innovation have always commanded a premium.
