Ferrari has unveiled the 'Ferrari Luce,' the brand's first high-performance four-door, five-seater electric sports car, in a world premiere. The venue, 'Bella di Calatrava' in Rome, was selected to commemorate the 79th anniversary of Ferrari's first victory at the Rome Grand Prix in 1947.

The Ferrari Luce is the result of a multi-energy strategy based on technological neutrality, embodying the 'Ferrari 360' vision to expand the potential of performance and design through electrification. All core components, from the electric engine to the 122kWh battery pack, were independently developed and produced in Maranello, and over 60 patents have been filed through this project.

The design was developed in collaboration with the creative group 'LoveFrom,' led by Jonny Ive and Marc Newson. By removing the center tunnel and placing the battery pack on the floor and beneath the rear seats, the new architecture enabled a four-door, five-seater layout that was impossible with the traditional transaxle structure. The exterior features a smooth glass house and a floating-type aerodynamic wing, achieving the lowest drag coefficient in the brand's history.

The interior combines a multi-function digital display developed in collaboration with Samsung Display with mechanical buttons. It uses Corning Gorilla Glass and recycled aluminum, and incorporates recycled alloys accounting for approximately 70% of the vehicle's weight to reduce carbon emissions.

Based on the bespoke platform, the curb weight is limited to 2,260 kg. Four electric motors inherited from the F80 independently drive all four wheels, delivering a combined maximum output of 1,050 cv, a top speed of over 310 km/h, and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.5 seconds. The driving range on a single charge exceeds 530 km, and it supports 350 kW fast charging.

To control the unique acceleration feel characteristic of electric vehicles, the patented 'Torque Management' technology and paddle shifters were introduced to achieve a gradual acceleration sensation. Additionally, a patented sound system utilizing the principle of electromagnetic tuning was applied to capture and amplify axle vibrations.

The vehicle control unit (VCU), which updates data 500 times per second, integrates side slip control X (SSCX) and the powertrain for unified management. Furthermore, by utilizing the battery housing as a structural component, the bending stiffness was increased by 25% and torsional stiffness by 35% compared to existing four-door models. NVH performance was optimized with an elastic-mounted subframe and active suspension.
