Ferrari has officially launched its first fully electric car, the Luce, in Rome, marking a significant step into the electric vehicle market despite industry uncertainties. Priced at over €500,000 ($586,000), the Luce boasts a top speed of 310 kph (193 mph) and features a design by former Apple designer Jony Ive's studio, LoveFrom. The launch is seen as a bold move as competitors like Lamborghini have delayed or abandoned their electric plans due to weak demand. While Ferrari does not expect the Luce to be a major seller, it aims to position itself as a leader in luxury electrification. CEO Benedetto Vigna highlighted the need for Ferrari to define what luxury electrification means, especially as younger buyers show increasing interest in electric vehicles. The company has adjusted its electrification targets, now aiming for fully electric cars to make up 20% of its lineup by 2030. The Luce is expected to appeal to a new generation of affluent customers, with deliveries scheduled to start in October.
