All the news about Ferrari’s polarizing Luce EV – The Verge

This Ferrari should have been a Volkswagen

It may be the NBA playoffs but right now Ferrari is getting dunked on more than anyone. Whether they own a Ferrari or just have a poster of a Testarossa on their wall, fans in the Ferrari-verse are frothy about the Luce, the company's first all-electric vehicle. According to one highly rated Verge commenter: "looks like a Polestar had a one-night stand with a Prius."

Whatever. The competition should steal this design.

The Luce looks weird because Ferrari isn't asking to have its edges sanded off. Its most iconic models, like 1987's F40, are defined by hard angles. That makes the contrast between Luce and legacy even sharper. But look beyo …

Jony Ive’s Ferrari looks nothing like a Ferrari

2026-05-27T09:26:19-04:00

Ferrari makes some of the fastest cars on the planet, so it's anyone's guess how the Italian automaker ended up being so incredibly late to the EV party. Long after most automakers have drastically scaled back their EV ambitions, canceled battery-powered models, or curtailed factory plans, Ferrari emerges from the shadows with a real weird one: the all-electric Luce.

Ferrari unveiled the Luce Monday at the Vela di Calatrava, a massive architectural sporting complex located on the outskirts of Rome. In many ways it's the most anticipated and also the most over-hyped EV to come out since battery-powered models first arrived on the scene. An e …

After months of teasers, Ferrari is offering the first full view of its Luce electric vehicle. The Luce is notable not just for being Ferrari's first EV, but for being designed in collaboration with Jony Ive and Mark Newson at their collective LoveFrom. It's also going to be Ferrari's second four-door car and its first five-seat one.

We already knew Ive and Newson were working on the Luce's interiors, which were shown off earlier this year. Now Ferrari says LoveFrom was allowed to "define the design direction of the project from the outset," inside and out.

Ferrari’s first EV will have an interior designed by Jony Ive

2026-02-09T13:11:51-05:00

Ferrari released the first interior images of the company's first all-electric supercar, called the Ferrari Luce ("light" in Italian). This is the second time the Italian automaker has teased the Luce (formerly Elettrica) without showing us the actual car, or even a silhouette. But the interior images should suffice given the bold-faced name of the designer: Jony Ive.

Ferrari decided to outsource the work of designing the Luce's interior to Ive and his partner Marc Newson, who together run the design shop LoveFrom. Ive, obviously, is well known for his work as Apple's former chief designer, overseeing such iconic products as the iMac, iPhon …

Meet the Ferrari Elettrica. Well, meet some of it.

The Italian supercar maker lifted the hood on the technology that will power its hotly anticipated first electric vehicle, the Elettrica. At an event at its Maranello headquarters, Ferrari showed reporters the chassis and powertrain of the upcoming EV, including its battery pack and motors. No actual vehicle was revealed, though.

Ferrari expects to reveal the completed car sometime next year, but has yet to settle on a formal name or form factor. (Apparently Elettrica is just a placeholder, but it could become the official name.)

Some outlets speculated the EV could be a shooting brake …
