Luce

A New Dawn in Maranello

Breaking decades of tradition, the 2026 Ferrari Luce (Type F222) marks the historic arrival of Ferrari’s first fully electric production vehicle. Designed in collaboration with Jony Ive and Marc Newson’s creative collective LoveFrom, the Luce introduces a striking, aerodynamic five-seat liftback saloon architecture. Built on a dedicated EV platform, it aims to redefine high-performance executive touring by combining zero-emissions capability with uncompromising Italian craftsmanship.

Every surface of the Luce has been obsessively optimized for aerodynamic efficiency, featuring active air shutters and a sophisticated ride-height logic that minimizes drag without sacrificing interior volume or road presence.

Quad-Motor Architecture

Powering the Luce is an advanced quad-motor setup, placing an independent permanent-magnet synchronous motor at each wheel. Generating a combined 1,035 horsepower, the system is backed by an 800-volt electrical architecture and a structural 122-kWh battery pack. Advanced torque vectoring and four-wheel steering ensure agile handling despite its battery-laden footprint.

  • Power Output: 1,035 hp (772 kW)
  • Battery: 122-kWh NMC supporting 350 kW DC fast charging
  • Dynamics: Side Slip Control (SSC X) managing all-wheel torque vectoring

Fun Fact: To mimic driver engagement in an EV, the Luce features an electric guitar-inspired sound system that amplifies real-time mechanical axle vibrations through the cabin.

The Driver’s Electric Cabin

Inside, the Luce avoids massive touchscreens in favor of physical switchgear, tactile mechanical dials, and streamlined OLED instrumentation designed for intuitive control. Steering wheel mounted manettino dials oversee vehicle dynamics and powertrain mapping, while paddle shifters allow drivers to manually step through simulated torque delivery steps.

The cabin provides ample room for five passengers across a spacious layout, blending long-distance touring comfort with instantaneous acceleration.

“The Ferrari Luce demonstrates that electrification can be harnessed to deliver profound driving emotion and spacious luxury without losing the soul of Maranello.”
