## Definition

Ferrari Luce is Ferrari's first fully electric production car — a five-seat, four-door liftback delivering 1,035 hp from four independent wheel motors, priced at €550,000 ($640,000) and assembled in Maranello. The name (Italian for "light") was revealed February 9, 2026; the full exterior debuted May 26, 2026 in Rome.

The [full exterior reveal in Rome](https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/auto/ferrari-luce) completed a three-phase rollout: powertrain specs at Ferrari's October 2025 Capital Markets Day, interior and name with Jony Ive's [LoveFrom](https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/official-ferraris-first-ev-called-luce-interior-apples-old-design-boss) on February 9, 2026, then the full design on May 26. LoveFrom rejected touchscreen dashboards in favor of billet-aluminum dials and a Corning Fusion5 glass interface. First deliveries begin Q4 2026.

## Analogy

Think of it as an iPhone 1 for the car world — a category break that splits audiences between believers and skeptics.

## Why it's emerging now

Ferrari revealed the Luce exterior in Rome on May 26, 2026 — completing a three-phase launch that started at its October 2025 Capital Markets Day. At €550,000 and 1,035 hp, it is the world's most expensive production sedan and arrives as Porsche and Lamborghini scale back EV ambitions, leaving Ferrari alone in the ultra-luxury EV segment.
