Coach Doors and Ferrari's First Five-Seat Configuration
Announced in the fall of 2025 and gradually revealing its form with the interior shown in February of this year, the Luce has finally made its global debut.
The first thing that strikes you is its exterior. The design, vastly different from anything previously from Maranello, comes from the design collective LoveFrom, led by former Apple designers Jony Ive and Marc Newson.
By bringing in a team from outside the Ferrari Styling Centre, led by Flavio Manzoni, new perspectives and knowledge have been mutually exchanged.
With dimensions of 5,026mm in length, 1,999mm in width, and 1,544mm in height, it features Ferrari's first four-door, five-seat layout. The styling, with aerodynamic wings at the front and rear seemingly floating to envelop the glasshouse silhouette, controls airflow, driving dynamics, and aerodynamic noise, creating a unique and distinctive profile.
The coach doors, reminiscent of the "Purosangue," are particularly striking. The round taillights pay homage to models like the "360 Modena" and "458 Italia," assuring its place within the Ferrari family.
The smooth, flowing bodywork, alongside its innovative design, reflects meticulous aerodynamic considerations, achieving the lowest drag coefficient in Ferrari's road car history. Additionally, it is equipped with an active ride-height function that lowers the front by 10mm during high-speed driving to reduce air resistance.
It rides on bespoke wheels, 23 inches at the front and 24 inches at the rear, marking the largest front-to-rear rim diameter difference ever seen on a Ferrari road car.
Technically, it features a dedicated chassis and platform. Leveraging motorsport expertise, the battery capacity is a substantial 122kWh, yet the vehicle weight is kept to 2,260kg.
Propulsion comes from four motors, one for each wheel, integrated with active suspension derived from the "F80" and a rear-axle steering system. Each wheel is equipped with actuators for drive and regeneration, as well as vertical vibration control, allowing for real-time torque distribution adjustments based on road conditions and desired performance, ensuring the driver experiences a seamless, flowing connection.
Consequently, the maximum output is 772kW (1,050ps), with a peak torque of 990Nm measured at the motors and 11,500Nm at the wheels. It achieves 0-100km/h in 2.5 seconds and 0-200km/h in 6.8 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 310km/h.
It adopts an electric all-wheel-drive system for the first time in a Ferrari, complemented by new torque-shift engagement and extended regenerative braking, contributing to a dynamic and exhilarating driving experience.
The sound system was developed based on Ferrari's philosophy that it "must be authentic and functional." A patented system utilizes high-precision accelerometers at the center of the axle to capture the texture and vibration of rotating components, emitting sound through an external amplification system that creates natural sound waves.
As mentioned, the battery capacity is 122kWh, and while an estimate, the cruising range exceeds 530km, making it suitable for long drives.
Furthermore, this battery pack serves as an integral part of the vehicle's structure, optimizing structural performance and efficiency, including the center of gravity, in conjunction with the chassis and body. The battery case is integrated into the floor and beneath the rear seats, not only maximizing interior space but also contributing to rigidity.
The interior is functionally arranged, with an overhead control panel featuring a physical lever for activating launch mode, exterior lights, and an emergency SOS system switch.
Five body colors are offered, reflecting the Luce's contemporary individuality. Notably, a specially developed yellow, inspired by the yellow in the Ferrari logo, is used as an accent color on the wheel hubs and steering wheel.
The timing of its arrival in Japan is yet to be determined. A Japan premiere of this unprecedented Ferrari is eagerly awaited.
