BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): The Ferrari Luce, which was launched under a huge amount of criticism, both for its unusual appearance and for the fact that it was the brand’s first car with an electric engine, seems to have definitely overcome the phase of distrust.

Proof of this is that the supercar has a surreal waiting list, as it had all the units scheduled for 2027 reserved, as revealed by the company’s CEO, Benedetto Vigna, during the presentation of the third quarter’s financial results.

According to the executive, anyone willing to get in line will now have to wait approximately a year to receive their Ferrari Luce, certainly the newest icon in the long list of famous cars from the Maranello manufacturer.

The mechanical set brings together four electric motors, one on each wheel, with all-wheel drive and a combined power of 1,050 hp. Independent force distribution allows control of each wheel individually, while acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes place in 2.5 seconds. The declared maximum speed is 310 km/h.

The battery has 122 kWh of gross capacity and works with an 800 volt electrical architecture. The system accepts fast recharges of up to 350 kW, while the estimated range reaches 530 km via the WLTP cycle, still subject to approval. The curb weight is 2,260 kg.

Ferrari intends to gradually increase the pace of manufacturing the Luce. The model will be assembled in a new dedicated facility, which will also produce components such as electric motors and battery packs. The expansion of industrial capacity is still underway, which limits the initial volume of units.

The brand also intensified the presentation of the car to potential buyers. More than 50 private events and local presentations have been held in different regions of the world, in addition to five public events. The next step will be to allow international journalists to drive the model in the first quarter of 2027, before organizing behind-the-wheel experiences for interested customers.

Do you want to better understand this “fever” surrounding the first electric car from the Cavalinho Rampante brand? So check out 5 curious things you (probably) don’t know about the Ferrari Luce.
