New Ferrari Luce Driven! | 4K
The Ferrari Luce is the brand's first all-electric model, causing controversy. The video features a late-stage pre-production car driven before its official unveiling.
Specifications & Design
- Power: 1,035 hp (approx. 772 kW) from four electric motors (one per wheel)
- Acceleration: 0–62 mph in 2.5 seconds
- Top speed: 192 mph (309 km/h)
- Range: 330 miles (531 km) claimed
- Weight: 2,260 kg – relatively low for a 5.1 m long five-seater EV
- Design: Completely new, created by LoveFrom (Jony Ive & Marc Newson). The body looks like a spaceship, with a light blue outer shell and a black 'car-within-a-car' concept. The drag coefficient is 0.25 cd.
Driving Dynamics & Emotion
- Ferrari's chief test driver Raffaele De Simone led development. The goal was to preserve the typical Ferrari feel without a combustion engine.
- Torque Shift Engagement: A system that guides the driver through five stages of power and torque curves, mimicking engine braking and gear shifts.
- Sound: A microphone on the inverter amplifies the powertrain frequencies (like an electric guitar). The sound changes with torque demand.
- Suspension: Third-generation active suspension, rear-wheel steering, and a low center of gravity (battery in floor) ensure exceptional agility and control. The tester praises: "The best-handling EV I've ever driven."
Interior
- The cabin is considered the "best car interior in the world" – extremely high quality, with a continuous aluminum substrate, CNC-machined steering wheel parts, and an OLED display from Samsung.
- The E-Manettino (drive mode selector) bathes the instruments in different colors (e.g., green for dry, orange for sport, red for ESC off) with a smooth fade-out.
- The air vents are simple but brilliant. The center console uses Gorilla Glass like an iPhone.
Reactions & Conclusion
- After the unveiling, there was heavy criticism online and a brief stock drop, which quickly recovered.
- Former Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo criticized the Luce, but he also opposed the Purosangue and navigation systems.
- Conclusion: The Luce feels like a Ferrari – extremely fast, precise, and emotional. It's not a replacement for V12 models, but a distinctive, innovative step into the electric future. The technology and design are top-notch.
