"Instead, LoveFrom appears to have channeled Ferrari interiors from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, with a retro simplicity that combines clear round gauges with brushed aluminum. Forget the capacitive panels that so frustrated me in the Ferrari 296 -here, there are physical buttons and rocker switches that seem free of the crash protection surrounds that Mini was forced to use."
"The steering wheel now resembles the iconic "Nardi" wheel that has graced so many older Ferraris. But here, the horn buttons have been integrated into the spokes, and multifunction pods hang off the horizontal spokes, allowing Ferrari to keep its "hands on the wheel" approach to ergonomics. Made from entirely CNC-milled recycled aluminum, the Luce's wheel weighs 400 g less than Ferrari's usual steering wheel."
"The binnacle that houses the main instrument display is actually two overlapping OLED screens. The analogue dials are displayed by the rear-most of the two, appearing through cutouts as if they were traditional dials from Veglia, Smiths, or Jaeger (or the clock on your iPhone). The infotainment screen is on a ball joint that allows it to be oriented toward the driver or passenger as necessary, an interesting feature that other automakers would do well to study (and perhaps copy)."
Ferrari's forthcoming electric model, the Luce, adopts a deliberately different interior approach that evokes 1950s–1970s simplicity. The cabin pairs clear round gauges and brushed aluminum with physical buttons and rocker switches rather than capacitive panels. The steering wheel channels classic Nardi styling, integrates horn buttons and multifunction pods, and is CNC-milled from recycled aluminum to shave 400 g. The instrument binnacle uses two overlapping OLED screens to present analogue dials through cutouts. The infotainment display mounts on a ball joint so it can be oriented toward driver or passenger as needed.
