The Ferrari Luce SUV marks a major milestone in the brand’s journey. As Ferrari’s first all-electric vehicle, it represents a daring move towards a zero-emission future while striving to maintain the performance, design, and passion the brand is famous for.
In the UK, where the shift to electric is picking up speed, the launch of the Ferrari Luce sends a strong message: electric cars are no longer just about practicality. They now stand as the ultimate expression of engineering and performance aspirations.
Exterior Design
Weighing more than 2300 kg, Ferrari’s design style is instantly recognisable, and the Ferrari Luce is set to carry that legacy forward. With its sculpted body, bold aerodynamics, and a low, commanding presence, these elements will be key to its character.
The move to electrification opens up fresh possibilities for design and airflow management. With no traditional combustion engine to work around, designers can enhance proportions, cooling systems, and underbody aerodynamics. The outcome is expected to be a vehicle that looks cutting-edge yet unmistakably Ferrari.
Lightweight materials, including advanced composites, are expected to play a significant role in offsetting battery weight and maintaining dynamic balance.
Performance and Powertrain
Performance will be the defining measure of the Ferrari Luce’s success. Electric motors deliver instant torque, which provides explosive acceleration from a standstill. It is widely expected that the Ferrari Luce will achieve 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds, placing it firmly within supercar territory.
With 330 miles of range (WLTP), a bespoke electric platform is anticipated, designed specifically for Ferrari rather than adapted from an existing architecture. This would allow precise control over weight distribution, centre of gravity, and chassis dynamics. A large 122 kWh battery pack is utilised, with 880-volt technology allowing fast DC charging at up to 350 kW, enabling a 10–80% charge in roughly 25 minutes.
Advanced torque vectoring, intelligent traction systems, and sophisticated battery cooling will be critical in ensuring consistent performance under demanding driving conditions. For Ferrari, speed alone is not enough. The vehicle must feel alive and responsive in every corner. Ferrari is promising a ‘new kind of pulse’ from the 1,000-hp powertrain.

Interior and Technology
The inside of the Ferrari Luce is set to combine a focus on high performance with the latest in digital tech. Ferrari has been rolling out more driver-focused digital displays in its recent models, and the Luce is likely to take this even further.
You can expect a three-spoke design, reminiscent of 1950s/60s Nardi wheels, constructed from aluminium with integrated analogue control modules for driving and handling modes. The bucket seats are made from rich leather along with 100% anodised aluminium. Paddles allow manual control of torque for progressive acceleration, combined with recovered power from regenerative braking. There might also be a bigger emphasis on sustainable materials, which aligns with the industry’s move towards responsible luxury.
Driving Experience and Emotion
One of the most debated aspects of the Ferrari Luce is emotion. Ferrari’s heritage is built on the sound and sensation of its engines. Without a V8 or V12 soundtrack, the brand must engineer a new kind of engagement. Instead of fake V12 sounds, the Luce amplifies, “vibrations, from, the, motors,” providing, authentic, physical, feedback,.
The cabin avoids excessive touchscreens for physical buttons, dials, and a floating centre screen that can be angled by the driver. Electric propulsion offers a different kind of intensity, characterised by instant response and seamless power delivery. The challenge will be ensuring the experience remains unmistakably Ferrari.
What the Ferrari Luce Means for the UK Market
The Ferrari Luce is not simply a new model. It is a statement that the future of performance is electric. Being the first Ferrari chassis to feature 75% recycled aluminium. For the wider UK market, it reinforces the long-term viability and sustainability of electric vehicles. If a brand synonymous with performance and heritage can fully embrace electrification, it strengthens trust in the direction of travel for the entire industry.

FAQs
Ferrari has confirmed plans for its first fully electric model, with production expected to begin in 2028.
The first all-electric Ferrari, often referred to in reports as the Luce, is expected to have a range of approximately 330 miles WLTP.
Based on current UK government EV grant criteria, the upcoming Ferrari Luce is highly unlikely to qualify for purchase incentives. The scheme, which began in late 2025, requires vehicles to have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of under £37,000, whereas Ferrari models are expected to be priced significantly higher.
0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 192–193 mph
