Ferrari Luce: the first electric Ferrari is already sold out for 2027
830 kW, four motors, 530 km of range and an interior designed with Jony Ive: the Ferrari Luce, the brand's first electric car, has sold out its 2026 production and, according to Reuters, its 2027 production too. Specifications, price and what it means for the electric car market.
For decades, Ferrari built its legend on the sound of its V8 and V12 engines. In 2026, the Maranello manufacturer took a historic step with the Ferrari Luce, its first fully electric car. Despite a design that divided opinion at its unveiling, the success is clear: the 2026 production sold out in less than two months and, according to Reuters, Ferrari announced in early November that the Luce is also sold out for 2027.
A Ferrari unlike any other
The Luce breaks with tradition on several levels. It is not only the brand's first electric car: it is also its first five-seater and its first sedan, with large rear-hinged rear doors. Its boot, with 597 litres, is the largest ever offered on a Ferrari.
The design was developed with LoveFrom, the creative studio founded by Jony Ive, the former Apple designer, and Marc Newson. The exterior, with its two-tone body and its air intake inspired by racing cars, sparked strong reactions online when the car was unveiled in Rome on 25 May 2026, to the point that Ferrari's share price fell sharply in the following days before recovering.
Technical specifications
| Characteristic | Ferrari Luce |
|---|---|
| Motors | 4 (one per wheel) |
| Combined power | 830 kW (over 1,000 hp) |
| Battery | 122 kWh, assembled in Maranello with cells co-developed with SK On |
| Electrical architecture | 800 volts |
| Maximum charging power | 350 kW |
| Range (WLTP) | About 530 km |
| 0–100 km/h | 2.5 seconds |
| 0–200 km/h | 6.8 seconds |
| Top speed | 310 km/h |
| Weight | 2,260 kg |
Each of the four motors is controlled independently, allowing extremely precise torque distribution between the wheels. The Luce also features active suspension and rear-wheel steering, technologies derived from Ferrari's most exclusive supercars.
An interior that bets on physical controls
While many electric cars replace buttons with large touchscreens, the Luce takes the opposite approach. Its cabin combines OLED displays with mechanical controls machined from metal: dials, switches and toggles that are pleasant to use and can be operated without taking your eyes off the road. The touchscreen is kept for more detailed settings. The steering wheel, made of recycled aluminium, incorporates the famous Manettino and paddles that let the driver adjust power and regenerative braking.
What about the sound?
For a brand so attached to engine noise, sound was a central issue. Ferrari chose not to synthesise a fake engine noise. Instead, an accelerometer captures the real vibrations of the electric drivetrain, which are then filtered and amplified, much like an electric guitar. The system is optional, for those who prefer silence.
Price and availability
- In Europe: around €550,000 including VAT in Italy.
- In the United States: from $560,800, with first deliveries planned for the second quarter of 2027.
These prices do not include options, which are traditionally numerous at Ferrari. Demand is exceptional: the roughly 500 units planned for 2026 found buyers in less than two months, with strong demand from China, and the very first production car was sold for 40 million dollars at a charity auction in August 2026.
What the Luce means for electric cars
The Luce will not change the global market in terms of volume: Ferrari only produces around 14,000 cars a year, all models combined. But its symbolic impact is considerable. When a brand whose identity is built on combustion engines says that electrification was necessary to build the car it wanted, with four independent motors and performance impossible for a combustion sedan, it sends a strong message to enthusiasts.
The contrast with other luxury brands is striking: some have postponed or abandoned their electric projects, believing that wealthy customers were not ready. The commercial success of the Luce suggests the opposite, even if the real test will come in 2027 and 2028, once the first collectors have been served.
Technologies such as 800-volt architectures, ultra-fast charging and advanced batteries, which we cover regularly, as in our article on solid-state batteries, often appear first on high-end models before gradually spreading to more affordable cars. In this sense, the Luce is also a showcase for the electric car of tomorrow.
