The Ferrari Luce has finally been revealed, and the internet is flooded with reactions, mostly critical of the direction in which the brand is headed. We can see why the car is getting so much hate online. In fact, we think it lacks the Italian flair and is more like an iPhone on wheels.
Most of the opinions you will find online, and that includes us, are from people who haven’t even seen the car in person, let alone driven it. However, there’s one person who did get a chance to take the new Ferrari Luce for a spin.
Ferrari Chairman John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna visited Pope Leo XIV at his residence in Castel Gandolfo. During the meeting, the Pontiff got a tour of the new Luce and even got to take it on a short drive.
The Luce is Ferrari’s first electric car. It’s also the first-ever 5-seater model built by the Maranello-based supercar maker.
Powering the Luce are four electric motors (one on each axle). These were developed in-house and said to be capable of spinning at up to 30,000 rpm. The front motors deliver 141 hp each, while the rears generate 476 hp each. Together, they produce 1050 hp, allowing the car to sprint from 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds. 0-124 mph comes up in just 6.8 seconds.
