Ferrari Luce is the brand’s first EV as well as its first sedan
This Hot Wheels-looking sedan is a quad-motor, five-seat, zero-emission supercarThe News
Ferrari has debuted its first ever electric vehicle: the Luce. Packing four motors good for 772kW/990Nm, the Luce is a 2260kg four-door super-sedan capable of 0-100km/h in 2.5 seconds, 0-200km/h in 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 310km/h.
The Key Details
- Ferrari’s first EV is supercar-fast but offers seating for five
- Quad-motor powertrain capable of up to 530km on a full charge
- Takes design inspiration from the classic GTO models
- Confirmed for Australia but timeline and pricing TBC
The Finer Details
Naturally, such performance is provided with the aid of all-wheel drive – each motor powers its own wheel – and a super-advanced battery pack: 122kWh gross capacity, Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) chemistry, 880V.
Driven efficiently, Ferrari says the Luce will cover up to 530km on the WLTP cycle and can be recharged at up to 350kW when using DC power.
The controversial body draws inspiration from the classic GTO models of the 70s and 80s but ditches their iconic tapered noses and pop-up headlights for a blunt, segmented arrangement defined by black panelling and integrated headlights.
A key difference in the body shape however is the fact the Luce is a four-door sedan, with the rear doors opening backwards in the old school luxury fashion.
The classic inspiration continues inside the cabin, albeit to a much further extent than the exterior with vintage-style gauges set into a massive driver’s display, a retro steering wheel and a heap of physical toggles and switches.
Modern touches however include a 21-speaker sound system, a pivoting central display, four-zone climate control, full smartphone integration, the full Manettino suite of drive modes and much more.
The real tech is hidden under the skin though. The Luce sits on a bespoke EV platform and active suspension derived from the F80 hypercar with each wheel having its own drive motor.
Four-wheel steering shortens the effective wheelbase considerably while the staggered 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels are the biggest ever fitted to a Ferrari road car.
Like an increasing number of high-end EVs these days, the Luce has a virtual sound system that can be heard both inside and outside the cabin in accordance with the drive mode.
The Road Ahead
Ferrari has thus far confirmed the Luce will be coming to Australia, but we don’t yet have a timeline or even an indication as to the local pricing.
Odds are it will be more expensive than the V12-powered Purosangue SUV it outstrips in virtually every metric, meaning it would be safe to expect a base price of more than $730,000 plus on-road costs.
