Like I like the design but it just doesent look like a Ferrari or even Ferrari inspired. Its as if Fiat/FCA designed a neat car but then stuck a Ferrari badge on it

    I feel like for this to be successful Ferrari would have to do something that showcases craftsmanship and uniqueness in the motors. The engines were a setpiece in many of their cars and that was a big reason you bought one. I cant help but feel EV cars just have motors with different sizes and specs but they are all just some variant of a Samsung/Panasonic/Toshiba design or something thats been scaled up from the motor thats in my washer.

    Or they will just not let you buy any other Ferrari until you buy one of these.

    I dread to think how many people at Ferrari saw that, had the ability to say "wtf, no", and didn't

    Enzo is surely rolling in his grave right now. Him and a lot of the guys that worked for Pininfarina that are now dead.

    Not quite as ugly as the Cyber Truck, but holy what an ugly looking Ferarri. I'd probably guess about 5 other car brands before I even thought to guess Ferarri.

    Honestly, just make it look like a Testarossa. Why does it have to look like a slip on shoe?

    Because it was not designed to sell. It was made for compliance on fleet C02 outputs, so they purposely made it overpriced and ugly so they don't actually have to waste time making them.

    122 Kwhr battery. Batteries are now $120/Kwhr. So a battery pack is $15K -where the fuck does the other $600K come from? Free coke and ho's?

    Why do all electric cars look alike?

    I ma not a designer but I know I could easily come up with awesome and cool designs for cars, none of those designs would look like the manager and c-suite designed shit that is on the road now

    Right? Pull out one of the concept cars that were impossibe to build in the 70s and use that as a base. Build something cool. What is wrong with Ferrari, Porsche etc? They sell their cars on emotion, not practicallity, why do they have the most boring EVs?

    Must be the "car must vroom vroom" brain

    It's great that we are getting so many EVs. But why can't people hire qualified designers? There are so many ugly EVs.

    But why can't people hire qualified designers?

    I've heard a lot of things about Jony Ive, but unqualified is new.

    I suspect he (well, his design company) was asked to design something that not only stands out from all existing normal Ferraris, but is still unmistakably a Ferrari. I think this was accomplished here, just look at the rear lights and tell me you don't get an F40 vibe. It also looks pretty small for its dimensions and weight, which I suspect was also intentional. It's actually bigger and heavier than their crossover SUV and I believe the biggest car they've ever made, certainly in modern times. Half a meter longer than the 458. 30 centimeters longer than the 12Cilindri with its ridiculously long hood.

    I also love how this is the guy behind the iOS interface (so basically all modern touchscreen interfaces), while it does have a touchscreen, the interior controls are actually mostly physical buttons and knobs, made of machined aluminium and glass. It looks a bit weird at first glance, but IMO it's a pretty interesting combination of modern and retro. A throwback to the Ferraris of old while acknowledging that this is the future.

    I'm not sure I'm a fan of a 5 seater Ferrari personally, though. Should be 2, 4 at the most. Wouldn't have to be as tall in the mid-rear section if it was a 2 seater. The proportions remind me of Polestar 2, which is also an EV... I suspect this is all for efficiency, both aerodynamic and fitting a bunch of batteries in there.

    If I was a multimillionaire, I think I'd buy one and if they made a proper 2 seat version, I'd upgrade from "I think" to "I'd definitely". The interior alone is a breath of fresh air compared to most modern high-end cars. Put it this way, here's a Porsche Taycan, another high end electric luxury sports sedan:

    Here's the Ferrari Luce:

    I like it. Wheels are way too big though.

    It looks like a Lucid with Ferrari badging. Also is that a back seat I see? Gross.

    GT cars usually have 2+2 seating. I actually prefer the useless back seats. At least you have a place to put a giggling child or some extra luggage. That said, the design itself is horrid.

    Edit: just saw a few more photos. It has 4 doors, fuck this lump of shit

    I like the interior, but don't like it's exterior. It should have been a 2 seater and they should have been more imaginative about the drive train and overall layout to achieve something more striking and interesting. It isn't distinct enough from every other ev on the market.

    Definitely ugly AF. Pathetic effort.
