Ferrari electric hypercar rollout continues

Overview

Ferrari’s first fully electric hypercar, the Luce, continued to generate headlines through August 2026. The one‑off chassis 0, prepared through the Tailor Made program, was put up for auction at Monterey Car Week with a reserve of US $1.1 million. The car’s iridescent “Madreperla” paint, white wheels, bespoke brake calipers and Perla Le Mans leather interior were highlighted, and the proceeds were earmarked for the Ferrari Foundation’s U.S. educational projects and the M‑Tech Alfredo Ferrari research centre slated to open in Maranello in 2029.

Two months after the May unveiling, the sub‑500‑unit production target for the first year sold out, driven mainly by buyers in China and Silicon Valley despite early design criticism and a dip in Ferrari’s share price. CEO Benedetto Vinna said the sales strategy deliberately avoids pressuring traditional collectors and focuses on new affluent customers. Ferrari also confirmed that its overall production capacity is booked through the end of 2027, pushing the first Luce deliveries to 2028. The company maintains its plan to produce fewer than 500 units in the first year and aims for about 2,500 Luce cars by 2030, roughly 5 % of its annual sales.

In mid-August 2026, a heavily camouflaged prototype of the Luce was spotted undergoing road tests in Italy. The vehicle featured a dense black-and-white optical pattern to obscure design details, though it maintained a two-volume coupé silhouette with an elongated hood, a recessed cabin, and a fastback roofline. The project involved design collaboration with the LoveFrom collective, including Jony Ive and Marc Newson.
