What Is the Ferrari Luce EV?

The Ferrari Luce EV is the first all-electric production car from Maranello. Ferrari positions it as a new kind of Ferrari and not as a replacement for its petrol models. It is also the first five-seat, four-door car from the brand, with interior design by LoveFrom, the collective led by Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson.

Powertrain and Charging

Four independently controlled electric motors drive all four wheels, and the car weighs 2,260 kg. Its centre of gravity sits 95 mm lower than the Purosangue.

• 0-200 km/h in 6.8 seconds
• Rear-wheel steering and torque vectoring on both axles
• Active suspension from the F80, updated 200 times per second
• 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels, the largest on a production Ferrari road car

Ferrari also claims that the car changes direction like one nearly 400 kg lighter. That claim can only be verified on the road.
