"Ferrari's red‑tailed grand tourers and race‑bred 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‑wealthy clients increasingly interested in sustainable technologies, even the Prancing Horse must evolve. According to the International Energy Agency, global passenger car CO₂ emissions from internal combustion engines account for roughly 12 gigatonnes annually, while EV adoption could reduce lifecycle emissions by 40 percent or more as grids decarbonize."
"On February 9, 2026, Ferrari took a decisive step into electrification by announcing the official name of its first battery‑electric vehicle: the Ferrari Luce - Italian for 'light.' From a financial perspective, Antony Fragola, business director of Approved Motor Finance points out: "Any new Ferrari is always big news. A fully electric Ferrari is new territory from a funding perspective, particularly around forecasting longer-term residual values." Here's what the new launch could mean for collectors and buyers."
"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‑founded by Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson. Ive - famed for shaping Apple's iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch - brought a design philosophy centered on intuitive interaction and material purity. In an era when many EVs default to sprawling touchscreens, Luce surprises."

The cockpit rejects a tablet-dominant interface in favor of physical buttons and tactile controls, blending analogue sensibilities with modernity.
