Ferrari’s First EV ‘Luce’ Debuts With 1050 HP, 530 Km Range & 0-100 In 2.5 S

Ferrari Luce is equipped with four e-motors capable of over 1050 hp while torque measured at the wheels climbs to 11,500 Nm

Five seats, four electric motors, rear wheels measuring 24 inches and more than 1050 hp combined output were never part of Ferrari’s traditional formula. Yet here we are in the modern era! The newly revealed Ferrari Luce changes the historic perception completely as Maranello enters the fully electric era with its most radical road car architecture yet.

Presented in Rome at the Vela di Calatrava, the Luce becomes Ferrari first series production EV while opening an entirely new segment for the company. Ferrari says the car sits alongside its combustion and hybrid lineup instead of replacing existing powertrains. Development remained fully in-house with the battery, motors and electronic systems engineered directly in Maranello.

Dimensionally, the Ferrari Luce is among the largest models ever produced by the brand. Length stands at 5,026 mm while width measures 1,999 mm and height reaches 1,544 mm. The wheelbase stretches to 2,961 mm and weight distribution sits at 47 per cent front and 53 per cent rear with the kerb weight standing at 2,260 kg.

The Ferrari Luce is powered by an impressive 1,050 horsepower, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. This performance is complemented by a remarkable range of 530 kilometers, showcasing Ferrari’s commitment to delivering both power and efficiency in the electric vehicle sector. The design ethos of the Luce reflects Ferrari’s iconic styling, blending aerodynamics with elegance, making it a standout offering in the luxury automotive market. Furthermore, the model features advanced technological innovations, including state-of-the-art battery management systems and cutting-edge driver assistance features, ensuring that it meets the demands of modern drivers. As Ferrari embarks on this new chapter, the Luce represents not only a shift in performance but also a bold step towards sustainability without compromising the brand’s heritage of excellence.

Ferrari has revealed the Luce, its first all-electric vehicle. And even before the world got to read the fine print, opinions were formed about how it looks. And yes, while I agree that if it did not have the Ferrari moniker on the hood, I would have considered it just another East Asian EV, something that is not true for almost every other Ferrari ever made. But then you begin to look deeper, and things start to make sense. Some more than others.

This is supposed to be a four-door GT that prioritises space and comfort for travellers over occasional weekend exploits. And for that, what you need is size. This is one of the largest Ferraris ever, and the design makes even the large 24-inch wheels look small. Then there’s that umpteen mad performance, which we’ll be talking about shortly. And of course, pricing starts from €550,000, which works out to approximately Rs 6.10 crore.

The design introduces a completely different visual direction shaped with assistance from LoveFrom – the design collective led by Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson. A shell like glasshouse dominates the silhouette while floating aerodynamic wings guide airflow around the body. Transparent light panels, halo style tail lamps inspired by the 360 Modena and flush surfacing further separate the Luce from traditional Ferraris.

Wheel sizes are enormous even by supercar standards. Front tyres measure 265/35 R23 while the rear uses 315/30 R24 rubber. Ferrari says this is the largest staggered wheel setup ever fitted to one of its production road cars. The cabin gains a cleaner architecture than current Ferrari interiors. Mechanical toggles, switches and rotary controls remain but they now work alongside Samsung developed multifunction digital displays.

Is It A Ferrari Underneath?

Let’s talk numbers, because this is where the Luce stops being a design curiosity and starts looking like a serious Ferrari. It runs on a quad-motor setup that together produces 1050PS. Torque output stands at a stomach-gobbling 990 Nm! Put your foot down, and this GT will put refined sports cars in the rear-view mirror. 

Materials include recycled anodised aluminium, Gorilla Glass and premium leather upholstery. A 21-speaker 3000 watt audio system with 24 channel amplification is also available. Performance figures are extraordinary even within the hypercar category. Combined output from the four motors reaches 1050 hp while torque measured at the wheels climbs to 11,500 Nm.

Torque at the motors themselves is rated at 990 Nm. Ferrari claims 0 to 100 kmph in 2.5 seconds, 0 to 200 kmph in 6.8 seconds and a top speed of more than 310 kmph. Each wheel receives its own electric motor and dedicated control systems for traction, regeneration and steering. The front axle output stands at 210 kW while the rear axle alone produces 620 kW.

The claimed 0-100 kmph time of 2.5 seconds is on par with the SF90 Stradale and quicker than the, and this breaks my heart, 12Cilindri. A 310 kmph top speed is as fast as the Purosangue. The Luce should drive for about 530 km without needing a charge, though this is an estimate as Ferrari hasn’t confirmed the test cycle yet.

While this isn’t the most radical or fastest EV ever, like the Lucid Air Sapphire, Ferrari isn’t chasing that glory here either. It’s aiming to make a sensible EV that is usable every day, which this quite clearly looks like.

Yes, in fact, Ferrari wants to ensure the Luce is as easy to live with as your everyday. For starters, 3 power outputs are available depending on the mode you select: 430 PS in Range Mode, 617 PS in Tour Mode and 986 PS in Performance Mode. And if you’re someone who wants to shred your rear tyres for good, the Luce will also allow you to disconnect the front motors and use it as an RWD machine. 

The front electric motors spin up to 30,000 rpm while the rear units reach 25,500 rpm while power comes from a 122 kWh battery pack operating on an 800 volt electrical architecture. The battery uses 210 cells arranged across 15 modules and supports charging speeds up to 350 kW. The estimated driving range goes more than 530 km per charge.

Ferrari says the Luce introduces several firsts including electric all wheel drive, active aerodynamic grilles, elastically mounted rear subframe and a new Vehicle Control Unit capable of processing vehicle dynamics inputs 200 times every second. Four wheel steering, torque vectoring, adaptive suspension and regenerative braking systems work together simultaneously. The brand has engineered an authentic sound system using accelerometers mounted around the drivetrain to capture vibrations and mechanical textures.

Designed In Maranello Or California?

This is a big car. At 5026 mm in length, this Ferrari is longer than a Land Rover Defender 110. Yes, let that sink in. Add the five-seat layout, wheelbase of 2961 mm, and massive 24-inch rear wheels, a first ever on a Ferrari, and it will for sure make its presence and size felt when you look at it. That is one of the key reasons why the Luce looks the way it does. Try to make a car as big as the Luce and keep it as slippery as possible, and you get the shape of a UFO, not a Ferrari. While this may polarise the purists, I don’t think the designers ever had the choice to go conventionally, Ferrari.

The design moves away from the aggressive surfacing that defines recent Ferraris. The result is a cleaner, more restrained body, and the 0.254 cD drag coefficient confirms that the form is functional rather than decorative. The Rolls-Royce-like suicide doors and the 24-inch rear wheels are the two details that feel most different compared to anything in Ferrari’s current lineup. Nothing about the exterior directly references the Purosangue or the Amalfi.

Retro Style Interiors… The Only Brighter Side? 

Step inside, and the Luce throws Ferrari’s recent screen-everywhere philosophy out of the window. Jony Ive’s LoveFrom studio has steered the cabin in a deliberately retro, analogue-first direction, with minimal displays dominating the dashboard. That is a bolder call than it sounds, and we absolutely love it. Rivals from Stuttgart and Maranello itself have been racing to plaster pillar-to-pillar touchscreens across their GTs, and no one in their right mind has called it art. So, a Ferrari EV that pulls in the opposite direction is making a much-needed design statement, not just carrying out a cost-cutting operation.

The three-spoke steering wheel is a nod to the 1950s/60s Nardi wheel and looks absolutely beautiful. Pairing that with two analogue buttons, along with wiper, light, and indicator controls that are “secret until lit”, just adds to the minimalist drama. The interior also uses physical buttons, levers, and switches over touchscreens, all of which make accessing the features easy to use.  Even the touchscreen is a free-standing unit that can be rotated for a better view. And as revealed earlier, the Glass Key is just the cherry on top of this interior.

The rear doors open up to a bench-seat layout, which should be spacious enough for three people to sit comfortably without struggling. And the rear-hinged rear doors will certainly make ingress and egress easier. This is a soccer mom’s Ferrari, if we can still use that phrase.

Hefty And Counters…

Pricing starts from €550,000, approximately Rs 6.10 crore. Ferrari has opened order books globally. Even in India, the Luce will sit in a premium price band where even the Porsche Taycan Turbo S costs only half as much. 

Ferrari has not announced India-specific pricing yet; after all the taxes, delivery timelines and allocation numbers for the Luce are still awaited. But even when they do open, this looks more like a chauffeur-driven Ferrari for the family than a self-indulgence. And that is truly a first for Ferrari.

This one is a bold move from Maranello, which marks the inception of the battery juice age for our beloved prancing horse. It will be interesting to see how the product is received by the people around. We are sure that it will certainly find people to fill up the order books, though how well it survives is what we need to look out for.
