The Ferrari Luce EV marks a historic milestone as the first fully electric Ferrari, ushering in a transformative chapter for the iconic Italian marque. Officially unveiled in Rome, this high-performance electric supercar combines cutting-edge electrification with Ferrari’s motorsport DNA, and is expected to arrive in Singapore in Q4 2026.

Ferrari’s First EV Built on Advanced Motorsport Technology

Although the Ferrari Luce represents the brand’s debut into the electric vehicle (EV) segment, Ferrari’s expertise in electrification is far from new. The Luce incorporates race-derived technology from the Ferrari 499P, the brand’s World Endurance Championship contender.

Built on a bespoke 800V electric architecture, the Luce is engineered to deliver supercar-level performance with next-generation EV efficiency.

Over 1,000hp Performance with Four Electric Motors

At the heart of the Ferrari Luce EV are four electric motors, with one motor driving each wheel. This setup produces a combined output of 1,035 horsepower, positioning the Luce among the most powerful electric supercars in the world.

Performance Highlights:

0–100 km/h: 2.5 seconds
0–200 km/h: 6.8 seconds
Top speed: 310 km/h
Battery capacity: 122 kWh
Driving range: Up to 530 km

Despite a kerb weight of 2,260kg, the Luce delivers exceptional acceleration and high-speed performance, maintaining Ferrari’s hallmark driving excitement.

Advanced Driving Dynamics and Handling Technology

To ensure the signature Ferrari driving experience, the Luce is equipped with a suite of advanced chassis and handling technologies:

Active suspension system (derived from the Ferrari F80)
Rear-wheel steering for enhanced agility
Torque vectoring for precise power distribution
Adjustable regenerative braking and torque delivery via steering wheel paddles

These systems work seamlessly to provide dynamic handling, stability, and driver engagement, even in a fully electric platform.

Revolutionary Design by LoveFrom

The Ferrari Luce features a radical new design language, developed in collaboration with LoveFrom, the creative collective led by Sir Jony Ive (former Apple design chief) and Marc Newson.

A defining feature is its “glass house” design, which emphasises minimalism, clarity, and aerodynamic efficiency.

Design Highlights:

Smooth, uninterrupted body surfaces for optimised airflow
Active aerodynamic elements for cooling and drag reduction
Adaptive ride height for improved efficiency and performance

This results in what Ferrari describes as its most aerodynamically efficient road car to date.

A First for Ferrari: Five-Seater Layout

Breaking tradition, the Luce is also Ferrari’s first-ever five-seater vehicle. With the absence of a conventional drivetrain, engineers have reimagined the cabin layout to provide greater practicality without compromising luxury and performance.

Driver-Focused Interior with Mechanical Precision

Inside, the Ferrari Luce blends modern digital interfaces with tactile, precision-engineered controls:

Logical layout with driver-centric controls
Combination of mechanical buttons, dials, and toggles
High-resolution multi-functional digital displays
Premium materials including recycled aluminium steering wheel construction

The cabin reflects a philosophy of “aesthetic functionality”, ensuring both usability and timeless design.

Innovative EV Sound System for Emotional Engagement

Recognising the importance of sound in a Ferrari, the Luce introduces a bespoke in-house developed audio system that recreates an emotional driving experience.

Using accelerometer-based data, the system captures and enhances the vibrations and dynamic characteristics of the electric powertrain.

Sound output adapts based on driving mode and paddle inputs
External amplification ensures the car remains audible to pedestrians and enthusiasts
Drivers can switch between quiet refinement and expressive performance sound

Ferrari Luce Price and Singapore Launch

The Ferrari Luce is currently priced at approximately €550,000 (around S$818,000) in Italy. Final pricing for the Singapore market has yet to be confirmed.

However, the official Singapore launch is expected in Q4 2026, making it one of the most anticipated luxury electric vehicles in Singapore.

The Ferrari Luce EV is more than just a new model — it represents a strategic shift towards electrification while preserving Ferrari’s core identity of performance, design, and emotional engagement.

As the automotive industry moves rapidly towards electrification, the Luce positions Ferrari at the forefront of the high-performance EV segment, redefining what an electric supercar can be.
