Ferrari launches its fully electric supercar with interiors by Apple\u2019s former designer. An expert reveals what it means for collectors and buyers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Ferrari<\/div>\n

Ferrari\u2019s red\u2011tailed grand tourers and race\u2011bred cars have defined inimitable luxury on road and track, shaped for collectors and connoisseurs around the world. But with global emissions regulations tightening and ultra\u2011wealthy clients increasingly interested in sustainable technologies, even the Prancing Horse must evolve. According to the International Energy Agency<\/a>, global passenger car CO\u2082 emissions from internal combustion engines account for roughly 12\u202fgigatonnes annually, while EV adoption could reduce lifecycle emissions by 40\u202fpercent or more as grids decarbonize.<\/p>\n

On February\u202f9, 2026, Ferrari took a decisive step into electrification by announcing the official name of its first battery\u2011electric vehicle: the Ferrari Luce \u2013 Italian for \u2018light.\u2019<\/p>\n

From a financial perspective, Antony Fragola, business director of Approved Motor Finance points out: \u201cAny new Ferrari is always big news. A fully electric Ferrari is new territory from a funding perspective, particularly around forecasting longer-term residual values.\u201d Here\u2019s what the new launch could mean for collectors and buyers.<\/p>\n

Rather than simply electrifying a conventional design, Ferrari has embraced an audacious creative collaboration: the interior of Luce was crafted alongside LoveFrom, the firm co\u2011founded by Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson. Ive \u2013 famed for shaping Apple\u2019s iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch \u2013 brought a design philosophy centered on intuitive interaction and material purity.<\/p>\n

In an era when many EVs default to sprawling touchscreens, Luce surprises. Its cockpit rejects a tablet\u2011dominant interface, instead offering physical buttons and tactile controls that echo the sensibilities of analogue motoring, yet feel refreshingly modern. The interior\u2019s design isn\u2019t merely aesthetic: it\u2019s emblematic. For Ferrari to partner with industrial designers best known for consumer electronics underscores the importance of the EV pivot.<\/p>\n

Fragola adds context for collectors: \u201cPotentially, [electric supercars] hold their value differently, but it\u2019s highly model and brand specific. As with most Ferraris, specification can play a big role in desirability \u2013 options, color combinations and provenance \u2013 which may influence values over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Performance, buyers and market evolution<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Performance remains at the core of Ferrari\u2019s identity. Technical details suggest Luce will be no slouch: a quad\u2011motor layout with more than 1,000 horsepower and a WLTP\u2011estimated range of around 330\u202fmiles. Ferrari plans to introduce Luce to the public in May\u202f2026, with pre-orders available from March, according to chief executive Benedetto Vigna.<\/p>\n

Fragola notes that early adopters will likely be established clients: \u201cIn many cases, existing clients and collectors will be early adopters. Given EVs can be attractive under current certain tax rules when acquired through a business [depending on location], we may also see a higher proportion structured via companies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The high-performance EV segment remains in its early stages. \u201cThe EV market continues to evolve quickly, with broader model choice and improving range each year,\u201d Fragola observes. \u201cIt may take time to see how strongly drivers and collectors embrace it versus the character of traditional turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
