The Ferrari electric car has finally received a name. The first 100% electric vehicle from the Italian manufacturer will be called Luce, and its technological interior is heavily inspired by Apple‘s design.
This is due to the automaker’s partnership with LoveFrom, the creative collective founded by Sir Jony Ive, former head of design at Apple. As expected, the first images of the vehicle’s interior clearly show that this will not be an ordinary Ferrari cabin.
To begin with, the cabin features three screens: a driver’s screen located behind the steering wheel; a central infotainment screen; and a control screen for rear-seat passengers.
The driver’s screen consists of two overlapping panels, with the top panel displaying three cutouts that reveal the rear screen, giving the aviation-inspired gauges a three-dimensional look. It’s important to note that the screen is connected to the steering column, so they move together.
The central screen, which has a hand rest, rotates, making it easier for either the driver or passenger to access. The screen also has a cutout for a proprietary movement with four modes: clock, chronograph, compass, and launch control.
However, the abundance of screens does not completely eliminate physical buttons from the vehicle. On the steering wheel, there are dedicated physical controls for cruise control, drive mode selector, traction settings, windshield wipers, and suspension.
Additionally, at the bottom of the central screen on the dashboard, there are four window switches and buttons for the door and trunk locks. On the roof, you’ll find switches for the lights, defroster, and launch control. The rear panel houses the physical controls for HVAC and the vehicle’s vital signs.
For now, we don’t know much about the exterior of the Luce, which will only be revealed by Ferrari at a special event scheduled for May in Italy. However, last October, Ferrari shared some details with eager fans about the vehicle’s technical specifications.
According to the manufacturer, the Ferrari Luce will feature four electric motors delivering up to 986 horsepower in Boost mode, with a claimed top speed of 310 km/h and a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 2.5 seconds.
