Ferrari Luce Reveal

Post by Ascender »

Posted without comment. Mainly because when scrolling social media this morning I saw a picture of this and thought it was a pi$$ take.

Have at it...

Cheers,

Mike.

I saw a photo pop up on Facebook last night and was not impressed. Says something that you've posted a vid by Marques rather than a traditional car reviewer too - Ferrari having invited a tech blogger to the reveal.

The wheeltrim-like alloys are particularly awful. As are the wipers.

What’s even worse than the looks is that technically, on paper at least it’s not even impressive. The specs of an ancient Model S plaid are better - faster acceleration, top speed, lighter weight, better range.

Also wondering if this may become the most heavily depreciating car in the world? 4 door Ferraris drop like a stone. EVs drop like a stone. Here we have the ultimate combo and it will be £500,000+ with a few options :lol:
How about not having a sig at all?

Looks like other motoring journos have now posted their ones, for some reason it was MKBHD's which was front and centre.

I really like the interior, especially the materials used, but that's no surprise given it was Jony Ive. I know we've seen components of this before, but I think it's a great use of screens and physical buttons. Not sure about the gear selector, but the rest of it looks spot on.

Exterior? Umm.....

There are some angles where I can kind of see something that looks sporty and maybe 70s/80s inspired, maybe even the Lotus Elan from the front 3/4. I like the rear lights.

Where's it actually going to sit in the lineup and what's the point of it?
Cheers,

Mike.

The interior is nice enough, I'd be happy with that in a £80,000 car, and that's the problem with that too.
I reckon it'll be forced through purely to reduce co2 fleet emissions, want a combustion engine Ferrari? Well you'll have to buy this EV.

I bet the interior components feel way better than anything you'd get in a 80k car though.

I did wonder if they would just make another model of the Purosangue which was EV only rather than a whole new model.

If Johnny Ive had made a car branded 'Ive' or even 'Apple' some of the details would seem right. As a Ferrari it's utterly wrong. And whatever it is badged, I'd have a Lucid Air any time. Watching the interior stuff made me think of the Fisker Ocean.

I see Ferrari shares are down about 8% today.

I quite like the interior, it does feel very Apple. Not 100% sure it "suits" a Ferrari. The exterior is horrendous though.

The rear looks like he saw Jeremy clarksons comments about a bmw i8 shitting out a 911 and thought “ I can do better”
