Marking a significant new chapter in Ferrari’s storied legacy, the Italian automaker has officially whipped the wraps off its first all-electric offering, the Luce. We detail the new model…
The Luce measures 5 026 mm in length, 1 999 mm in width, and 1 544 mm in height. The front and rear tracks span 1 696 mm and 1 690 mm, respectively, with the wheelbase measuring 2 961 mm. Ferrari claims the Luce tips the scales at 2 260 kg, distributed 47/53 per cent, front to rear.
The Luce is equipped with a quartet of electric motors — two per axle and one per wheel. The duo of front and rear units produce 210 kW/280 N.m and 620 kW/710 N.m, respectively; culminating in combined power and torque outputs of 772 kW and 990 N.m. Power is delivered to the road via all four corners.
Ferrari claims these figures allow the Luce to complete the obligatory 0-100 km/h sprint in 2.5 seconds, before topping out at a maximum speed of 310 km/h. The 0-200 km/h is dispatched in a claimed 6.8 seconds.
The Luce’s 800 V electric architecture features a 122 kWh (gross) battery pack, integrated into the floorpan to ensure a low centre of gravity. According to Ferrari, a 20-minute 350 kW DC fast charge replenishes the battery by 70 kWh. The Luce has a claimed operating range of 530 km on a single, full charge.
Stepping inside, the Luce’s cabin is an amalgamation of analogue and digital, with the steering wheel taking on a classic three-spoke design. Sited for the latter item, the instrument binnacle features mechanical instrumentation.
“With Ferrari Luce, we are once again redefining the limits of what is possible. Today, we are not simply unveiling a new car, we are inaugurating a chapter that turns our vision into reality, strengthening Ferrari’s tradition of anticipating and shaping the future. Such a leap forward in product innovation could only have been achieved through process innovation; this is why we chose to embark on new collaborations, such as the one with LoveFrom for the design. And, as always, our research and engineering excellence have been placed at the service of driving emotions, without compromise.”
