I Saw Ferrari’s Wild New EV

Ferrari’s first electric car is finally here: Meet the Luce.

The four-door, five-seat EV uses a brand-new, 800-volt dedicated EV platform with a chassis made entirely of cast and extruded aluminum. An in-house battery pack built into the car’s floorpan makes the Luce’s total weight just under 5,000 pounds, with a 47/53 weight distribution front to rear.

The Luce is Ferrari’s most aerodynamic car ever, and the Italian automaker likens its exterior to a glass house. Its interior, designed by Sir Jony Ive of Apple fame, is simply and elegant, with plenty of physical switchgear and a gauge cluster that moves along with the steering wheel.

With four electric motors, one at each wheel, the Luce produces 1,035 horsepower. Ferrari says the radial flux motors are derived from those of the hybrid F80 hypercar and leverage the sports car maker’s experience in Formula 1 and the World Endurance Championship.

As you’d expect for a Ferrari, this thing is fast: Zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) happens in just 2.5 seconds, and it tops out at 192 mph (310 kph).

The Luce can charge its 122-kWh battery pack at up to 350 kW. Ferrari claims it can recharge 70 kW—roughly 57% of its battery—in 20 minutes, given a powerful enough charger. Final range figures, as well as pricing, are still to be announced.
