  • Ferrari unveiled its first fully electric four-door car, the Luce, developed with former Apple designer Jony Ive.
  • The luxury sports car maker aims to appeal to wealthy families with the €550,000 ($640,000) five-seater, which boasts over 1,000 horsepower and a range of over 500 kilometers.
  • The Luce marks a significant shift for Ferrari as competitors scale back EV ambitions, with deliveries set to begin in late 2026.

Ferrari has officially entered the electric vehicle era with the unveiling of its first all-electric car, the four-door Luce. This high-stakes move comes as rivals like Porsche and Lamborghini reportedly scale back their own EV plans due to weak demand. The Luce, Italian for 'light,' is a significant departure for the iconic sports car maker, designed in collaboration with Jony Ive's collective LoveFrom and marking Ferrari's first five-seater.

It's the result of five years of work.

— Benedetto VignaCEO of Ferrari, speaking at the launch event in Rome.

Targeting affluent families, the Luce offers a blend of luxury and technology, featuring comfortable seating, advanced tech, and a substantial 600-liter boot. Priced at €550,000 ($640,000), deliveries are scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026. CEO Benedetto Vigna stated the car is the culmination of five years of development, aiming to retain the visceral appeal of a Ferrari through amplified natural vibration sounds from its electric powertrain.

The Luce represents a gamble on a new generation of buyers who are more accustomed to technology and AI and may be less attached to the brand's traditional V12 and V8 engine legacy. Ferrari hopes this foray into EVs will also open doors to markets like China, where electric vehicles are prevalent and large gasoline cars face heavy taxation. Chief marketing and commercial officer Enrico Galliera noted that a segment of their client base seeks "something completely different" for various life moments.

In our client base there are many ... who are still looking for something completely different, to be used in different moments of life.

— Enrico GallieraFerrari's chief marketing and commercial officer, explaining the market for the new electric model.

With four electric motors delivering over 1,000 horsepower and a top speed exceeding 310 kph, the Luce promises exhilarating performance despite weighing over 2.2 tons. Its design, a departure from Ferrari's typically aggressive style, features a larger body and expansive glass elements. The interior, however, retains traditional Ferrari luxury with premium materials and physical controls, contrasting with the all-digital approach of some other EV manufacturers. The car offers a range of over 500 kilometers on a single charge.

It's absolutely stunning.

— Enrico GallieraFerrari's chief marketing and commercial officer, describing the new Luce.
