Ferrari Unveils Luce for 2027 — Newest Electric Cars
Ferrari has unveiled the Luce EV, its first electric car, and the new model is due in 2027. For readers tracking the newest electric cars, the hard numbers matter more than the badge: this is a five-seat Ferrari built on a dedicated EV architecture, with packaging and power delivery aimed at a different kind of grand tourer.
Luce EV and Jony Ive
Ferrari turned to LoveFrom to shape the Luce’s exterior and interior, with Jony Ive and Marc Newson involved in the design work. That gives the car a second layer of scrutiny beyond speed, because the company is not only testing an EV powertrain but also asking outside product designers to help define how its first battery car should look and feel.
The Luce measures 197.9 inches long and stands 60.8 inches high. It is two inches longer than the Purosangue, and it sits about two inches lower, with the cabin set far forward within the all-aluminum body.
Ferrari Luce packaging
The Luce uses center-opening doors and a liftgate at the rear. Ferrari says the headlights and taillights illuminate from dark panels, and the windshield wipers park upright against the A-pillars. Those choices make the car look less like a reshaped combustion model and more like a dedicated EV, which is the real break from Ferrari’s usual layout.
The Luce also seats five, making it the first Ferrari to do so. Ferrari says it has the largest trunk ever in a Ferrari. For buyers who have treated the brand as a two-seat or 2+2 proposition, that changes the use case more than the badge does.
The company also says the Luce has a drag coefficient lower than any prior roadgoing Ferrari. That claim points to efficiency work as much as styling, even if the car still carries Ferrari’s familiar emphasis on performance.
Ferrari Luce power
The Luce is powered by four synchronous, permanent-magnet electric motors. The front pair make 282 horsepower, and the rear two produce 831 horsepower, for a total output of 1035 horsepower.
Ferrari says that total exceeds any other roadgoing Ferrari, and it says the Luce has a curb weight of nearly 5000 pounds. That combination makes the acceleration figures more striking than the weight figure, because the car is being positioned as a performance machine first and an EV second.
Ferrari says the Luce will reach 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, 124 mph in 6.8 seconds, and a top speed of 193 mph. Launch mode is activated with a pull handle in the overhead console, and Ferrari says it adds an extra 54 horsepower through a torque boost.
The cabin uses OLED displays, and the instrument cluster places three metal-ringed dials inside another digital display. The center dial shows speed and battery charge level, the left dial shows available power and regen level, and the right dial is configurable. The gauge display moves with the steering column, while the central touchscreen keeps physical switches and can pivot toward the driver or the front passenger. A similar rear screen sits at the back of the center console, and the steering wheel uses real switchgear, two manettino dials, and paddles for regen and maximum torque output.
Ferrari has given the Luce a long list of numbers, but the practical question for buyers is still the same one that hangs over every first EV from a legacy performance brand: whether the exterior, the weight, and the 2027 timing will hold up when Ferrari starts selling it.
