The Ferrari Luce (Type F222) is a battery electric executive car produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari. It is Ferrari's first production electric vehicle and the brand's first five-seat model.^[3][4]

The Luce was previewed under the development name Elettrica during Ferrari's Capital Markets Day on 9 October 2025, before the production model was revealed in May 2026.^[5][4] The name Luce, meaning "light" in Italian, was confirmed before the production reveal.^[6]

Reuters reported that the Luce is priced at €550,000 in Europe, with customer deliveries due to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.^[3] The model is assembled in Maranello and uses a dedicated electric-vehicle architecture.^[4][7]

The Luce was developed on a dedicated electric-vehicle architecture, allowing a body layout that differs from Ferrari's previous combustion-engine models.^[4] The exterior and interior were shaped in collaboration with LoveFrom, the creative collective founded by Jony Ive and Marc Newson, alongside Ferrari's own design and engineering teams.^[3][4]

Car and Driver described the Luce as longer but lower than the Ferrari Purosangue, with centre-opening doors, a rear liftgate, a forward-set cabin and lighting elements integrated into dark body panels.^[4]

The Luce is equipped with active suspension, four-wheel steering and torque vectoring.^[4] Its cabin combines OLED digital displays with physical controls. Car and Driver reported that the steering wheel uses conventional switches instead of the touchpads fitted to some previous Ferrari models, and includes two manettino controls: one for vehicle dynamics and one for the electric powertrain.^[4]

The central touchscreen is paired with physical switchgear, while paddles on the steering wheel control regenerative braking and torque delivery.^[4]

The Luce uses four permanent-magnet electric motors, one for each wheel, with a combined output of 1,035 hp (772 kW; 1,049 PS) according to Car and Driver.^[4] The system is rear-biased, with the front motors producing a combined 282 horsepower (210 kW) and the rear motors producing 831 horsepower (620 kW).^[4]

Ferrari claims a 0–100 km/h time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed of more than 310 kilometres per hour (193 mph).^[3][4] The battery has a gross capacity of 122 kWh and forms a structural element of the chassis. The car uses an 800 V electrical architecture and supports DC fast charging at up to 350 kW.^[4] Reuters reported a driving range of over 500 kilometres (311 mi).^[3]

Ferrari developed a sound system for the Luce that captures mechanical noise from the electric drivetrain and amplifies it according to the selected driving mode, rather than using a simulated combustion-engine soundtrack.^[4]

The Luce was unveiled at a large, "tightly-controlled" event with around 200 journalists^[8] at the Vela di Calatrava sports complex, near Rome, on Monday the 25th of May, 2026.^[9]

The car received a poor reception after its reveal, with much of the discussion focused on the Luce's styling and its role as Ferrari's first battery-electric production model. The Guardian described the design as divisive and reported that some analysts questioned whether the model's saloon-like form matched Ferrari's traditional sports-car image.^[10] Ferrari fans and car enthusiasts have strongly criticised the car's design, considering the car unworthy of the brand.^[11][12][13] Responding to the reception of the Luce, Dezeen would publish a Dezeen Weekly podcast on the car titled, 'Why does everyone seem to hate the new electric Ferrari?'^[8] Pope Leo was shown around a Luce the day after the car's reveal.^[14]

The day after the presentation, Ferrari shares fell by 8.4% on the stock market, reflecting a lack of confidence in the brand among fans, enthusiasts, and financial analysts^{[citation needed]}, not least the strong concerns of former CEO Luca di Montezemolo.^{[15][16][17][18][11]}
