MARANELLO, Italy – On Monday, February 09 2026, Ferrari officially entered a new era by revealing the name and interior architecture of its first-ever fully electric vehicle: the Ferrari Luce. Moving away from the rumored “Elettrica” moniker, the Luce (Italian for “Light”) represents a philosophical shift for the Prancing Horse, blending high-performance electrification with a retro-futuristic design language.

The most striking aspect of the Ferrari Luce is its cockpit, which was designed in collaboration with Jony Ive and Marc Newson’s creative firm, LoveFrom. The interior marks a departure from modern screen-heavy cabins, opting instead for a “glassy and glossy” aesthetic that prioritizes tactile feedback and historical reverence.
Key interior features include:
- The Steering Wheel: A simplified three-spoke form machined from a single piece of aluminum, inspired by the iconic wooden Nardi wheels of the 1950s and 60s.
- Material Innovation: The gear shifter is crafted from Corning Fusion5 glass, while the instrument cluster draws inspiration from vintage Veglia and Jaeger gauges.
- Physical Controls: Ferrari has retained precision-engineered mechanical buttons, dials, and toggles, ensuring that the “Human Machine Interface” (HMI) remains engaging for the driver.
Performance and Specifications
While the full exterior remains under wraps until a final reveal scheduled for May 2026, Ferrari has confirmed several performance benchmarks that ensure the Luce remains a true supercar. The vehicle will feature a quad-motor powertrain delivering more than 1,000 horsepower.
Preliminary specifications for the Ferrari Luce include:
- 0-62 mph: 2.5 seconds
- Top Speed: 193 mph
- Torque: 731 lb-ft
- Configuration: Four-door, four-seater (2+2)
- Weight: Approximately 2,300 kg (5,070 lbs)
The Road to May 2026
The Luce rollout is following a phased strategy. After the initial concept announcement in October 2025 and today’s interior unveiling in San Francisco, the automotive world is now looking toward Italy this coming May. That event will showcase the complete exterior design—rumored to be a sleek, low-slung four-door silhouette—and provide final details on pricing and delivery dates.
By teaming with Jony Ive, Ferrari is signaling that its transition to electric power will not just be about speed, but about redefining luxury and craftsmanship for the digital age. As the company stated during the reveal, “Luce is more than a name; it is a vision of electrification as a new philosophy.”
