We’ve been expecting an all-electric Ferrari for some time, and we’ve finally been given a glimpse of what’s to come. The first electric car from the Prancing Horse will be named Luce which means ‘light’ or ‘illumination’ in Italian. Ferrari says the Luce signals a new era which will blend tradition with innovation.
• This four-door GT will be Ferrari’s first EV • The Luce takes a bold approach to interior design in collaboration with the man behind the original iPhone • Ferrari promises over 300 miles of range • Up to 1,000 horsepower and a top speed over 190mph • Expected to be revealed in full later this year • No word on pricing but expect the Luce to command six figures

Design and models available
While we’ll have to wait for the outside of the car to be revealed, but we expect the Luce to be a four-door, four-seat grand tourer.
Interior and tech
Ferrari has turned to Sir Jony Ive – the designer behind the iMac, iPod and iPhone – to help make its vision come to life. This perhaps accounts for the small iPad-like central screen sitting on a movable cradle and the curved edges of the binnacle which moves with the steering wheel. This simplified look features physical dials and switches which almost seems retro in an age of monolithic screens. Yet, according to Ferrari, the Luce is not intended to be about nostalgia, and this bold approach aims to put key controls at your fingertips so as not to detract from the driving experience.
The three-spoke steering wheel is an ode to the wooden steering wheels used in iconic 1950s and 1960s Ferraris, and while the simple shapes echo the purist vibe of a Lotus Elise we expect the materials to feel tactile and premium – this is a Ferrari after all. Starting the Luce will involve placing the key into a dock in the centre console and the key will then change colour as the car’s displays light up to add a sense of drama. Meanwhile, you’ll control functions like the headlights by flicking toggles in the ceiling as though you are in a helicopter.

Batteries/range
The Luce will have a range of just over 300 miles, and we expect it to be capable of impressively fast charging speeds. Meanwhile, four electric motors will provide over 1,000 horsepower when the car is in boost mode.
Price and release
We’ll find out more about the Luce soon, but Ferraris do not come cheap and while we don’t know exact pricing, you'll definitely need a six-figure sum.
What other cars from Ferrari are due this year?
What other cars will this compete with?
Few cars can rival a Ferrari, but all luxury and performance brands are set to add EVs to their line-up. Jaguar’s hotly anticipated all-electric GT with be revealed soon and we are also expecting a production version of the Mercedes AMG GT XX concept be announced later this year. Meanwhile, Bentley’s answer to the Rolls-Royce Spectre and a road-going version of Audi’s Concept C are expected in due course.
