Ferrari unveils its first fully electric car, the Luce, a $640,000 four‑door sedan designed with Jony Ive’s LoveFrom that fans compare to an iPhone, prompting memes and a debate over whether the brand’s legacy can translate to EVs. Ferrari marketing frames it as a bridge between San Francisco and Maranello, but investors have pushed the stock down about 8% amid broader EV headwinds and subsidy cuts.
Ferrari’s first electric car, the four‑door Luce designed with Jony Ive’s LoveFrom studio, is stirring debate by departing from Ferrari’s traditional look. Its center‑opening doors, minimalist shell, Samsung OLED cockpit screens, and emphasis on tactile controls aim to combine luxury with performance (0–60 mph in about 2.5 seconds) but critics compare its Apple‑influenced lineage to a generic look, raising questions about Ferrari’s identity. Priced around $640,000 and pitched as a statement of exclusivity in EVs, the Luce’s reception ranges from admiration to skepticism, with social media drawing parallels to controversial Apple‑related design moves and even Jaguar’s Type 00 rebrand. The piece also notes LoveFrom’s broader work and Ive’s rumored AI hardware project with OpenAI, underscoring the broader debate about design direction and branding in high‑end electrics.

Preorders begin in Italy by the end of May, with US deliveries planned for next spring; price is 550,000 euros (~$640,000). The reveal arrives as luxury automakers reassess EV timelines, and online reaction is polarized, praising the design from some and criticizing it from others; Ferrari’s stock briefly dipped after the announcement.

The cabin emphasizes metal and glass, tactile controls, and a restrained Apple-like aesthetic, signaling a bold shift for Ferrari’s design language. Critics praise the depth and craftsmanship of the display while noting a sparse center console and a synthetic “fake” torque-shift via paddle shifters as potential drawbacks, making it a high-risk, high-reward move for the brand.
