Ferrari is opening a new chapter. The legendary sports car manufacturer today revealed the name and interior of its first all-electric model. The sports car will be called the Ferrari Luce – Italian for “light”.
According to Ferrari, the name does not define the technology, but the philosophy: electrification as a means to a new era in which design and technology merge. Some of the vehicle's technology was already presented in October 2025, and the full presentation, including the exterior, will follow in May 2026 in Italy. But today's glimpse of the interior shows that the Luce is radically different from current Ferrari design.
The design is the responsibility of the creative collective LoveFrom, founded by Sir Jony Ive (former Apple design chief, known for the iPod, iPhone and iMac) and Marc Newson. The collaboration has been going on for five years. The aim was to develop a new design language that honours Ferrari tradition while questioning modern conventions. The result is a cockpit that is very different from those in current models such as the 296 GTB or Purosangue. Instead of huge screens and complicated menus, the Luce is betting on “tactile clarity”.
Classic sports car enthusiasts will be most impressed by the newly designed steering wheel. It does away with the cluttered touch surfaces of current models. It is a modern interpretation of the classic wooden Nardi steering wheels from the 50s and 60s. The three-spoke structure is made of recycled aluminum and is intentionally exposed. It is made up of 19 CNC-milled parts and is 400 grams lighter than the standard steering wheel.
Below it are two small horseshoes: on the right is the rotary knob that controls the Luce's powerful 1000+ hp powertrain (Range, Tour and Performance). On the left is the newly designed Manettino that controls the chassis configuration; next to it are the damper and wiper controls.
Contrary to the trend of ever-larger screens, Luce focuses on a clear separation between input and output.
- Instruments: The steering wheel-mounted display moves with the steering wheel console. It uses two OLED screens for the 3D effect. The instruments, with their simplicity and beauty, are reminiscent of displays from the 80s and 90s. However, it is doubtful that the 210 km/h shown in the pictures is the Luca's top speed.
- The 10,12-inch central display is mounted on a ball joint so that it can be turned towards the driver or passenger. Below it are the physical elements for controlling the climate control. The use of classic switches is not a romantic whim, but a belief that their functionality is better.
- Multigraph: Located in the upper right corner of the central display is a multi-function display with four functions: clock, chronograph, compass and launch control information. It uses a proprietary mechanism with three independent motors and multiple clutches
- Ferrari is breaking new ground in materials. The interior is dominated by recycled aluminum and Corning Fusion5 glass.
- Key: It is made of glass and has a built-in "E Ink" screen (a first in the automotive industry). When you insert it into the dock in the center console, it changes color from yellow to black and visually "merges" with the console.
- “Shifter”: The gear selector is a work of art made of glass. The graphics were laser-etched into the glass through holes half the thickness of a human hair.
