Ferrari Luce Electric Vehicle Receives First Independent Reviews
InsideEVs evaluates Ferrari's inaugural battery-powered model as Italian marque enters fully electric segment.
InsideEVs has published one of the first independent reviews of Ferrari's inaugural electric vehicle, the Luce, providing an early assessment of the Italian marque's entry into the fully electric segment.
What Happened
The InsideEVs review calls the Luce 'a very convincing first effort' from Ferrari in its first fully electric vehicle. Reviewers found the Luce capable of completing a quarter-mile run in 10.5 seconds and noted an EPA-estimated range of 280 miles on the European WLTP cycle, though U.S. figures may differ. The publication also observed that despite being battery-powered, the Luce maintains the 'engine noise' characteristic through synthesized audio—a signature Ferrari driving experience element—while delivering performance comparable to the brand's combustion counterparts.
Why It Matters
The Luce signifies Ferrari's most substantial product shift in years, demonstrating how legacy luxury sports car manufacturers are approaching electrification. For buyers considering high-performance EVs from brands including Tesla, Lucid, or Rimac, the Luce offers a new option from an established prestige nameplate backed by decades of supercar heritage.
The Bottom Line
Ferrari's first electric vehicle has received its initial independent reviews as the Luce reaches publication audiences, marking a notable development in the luxury EV segment.
