We now have been ready for the Ferrari Luce for eight years.
It was January 2018 when, on the North American Worldwide Auto Present in Detroit, former Ferrari chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne first hinted at a “prancing horse” EV to compete with Tesla.
“If there’s an electrical supercar to be constructed, then Ferrari would be the first,” Marchionne mentioned. “Individuals are amazed at what Tesla did with a supercar: I’m not making an attempt to reduce what Elon, did however I feel it’s doable by all of us.”
Nicely, Ferrari has not been the primary. But it surely has actually taken the award for many anticipated EV launch ever, what with the drip-feed technique of an preliminary mannequin “nickname” of Elettrica, then final October’s powertrain reveal, then, in February, the Apple-esque LoveFrom-designed inside spearheaded by Jony Ive and Marc Newson.
As we speak’s reveal of the outside in Rome by Ferrari ends the secrecy and completes the method. That is the Luce (Italian for “mild”), essentially the most consequential factor Maranello has made in many years.

The numbers are suitably high-end. 4 motors, one per wheel, have a mixed output of over 1,000 horsepower in Increase mode. The rear axle places out 832 hp and seven,750 Nm to the wheels. The entrance axle provides 282 hp and three,400 Nm. Full energy is obtainable in lower than a second. Zero to 62 mph is handled in 2.5 seconds, then on to a prime velocity of 192 mph. That is successfully a hypercar in a GT disguise with 5 seats (a primary for Ferrari).
The 122 kWh battery—one of many largest in any manufacturing EV—costs at as much as 350 kW on an 800-volt system. Ferrari is claiming this battery offers the Luce a spread of greater than 329 miles per cost. The all-wheel drive and steering are impressed by the Purosangue SUV. Ferrari has confirmed a curb weight of 4,982 kilos, or 2,260 kg, which is just round 200 kilos greater than the Purosangue, regardless of that thumping nice battery pack.
