Ferrari’s first all-electric model, the Luce, has been spotted on public roads with almost no camouflage. These latest images give a rare, clear view of the production-ready version as the company prepares for deliveries.
Almost Production-Ready Design Revealed
Spy photos from Walter Vayr of the Gabetz Spy Unit show the Luce prototype stripped of most covering, revealing its distinctive shape. The design features a short hood, a cab-forward greenhouse, and a tall rear that stands out on regular roads. A narrow black strip runs across the front, while the back has four circular lights, echoing Ferrari’s traditional styling cues.
The Luce definitely breaks from Ferrari’s usual sports car look. It has four doors and five seats, aiming for a more practical approach than the brand’s typical berlinettas and supercars. The car’s exterior was developed with LoveFrom, the design group headed by former Apple design head Jony Ive and designer Marc Newson.
Electric Performance and Technical Highlights
Under the skin, the Luce is ambitious. It uses four electric motors, one at each wheel, which together produce 1,035 horsepower (in U.S. terms). The 122-kWh battery enables a driving range of over 330 miles according to the WLTP standard.
Ferrari has developed key components like the motors, inverters, and battery systems in-house. The car also features active suspension and a unique sound system that enhances the natural vibrations from the electric drivetrain instead of creating artificial noises.
Mixed Reception and Strong Early Demand
The Luce’s official debut in May 2026 sparked a lot of criticism, especially about its styling and the use of the Ferrari badge on such an untraditional model. Former Ferrari chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo even suggested removing the badge from the car. The model’s unveiling led to an 8.4% drop in Ferrari’s share price the next day as investors weighed public response.
Despite the criticism, reports indicate that Ferrari quickly hit its 2026 sales target of nearly 500 units, with significant demand coming from China. The Luce starts at around €550,000 in Europe, about $626,000 at the current exchange rate. Ferrari has not officially confirmed the sales numbers or geographical split.
What’s Next for the Ferrari Luce
This near-production version confirms that the Luce is almost ready for market. The upcoming challenge for Ferrari is to prove the car’s design and electric grand touring abilities in real-world conditions, beyond just photos and initial impressions.
