Ferrari has named its first all-electric production model Luce, replacing the previously used working title “Elettrica,” and has offered new details on the vehicle’s interior and driver interface as it advances toward market launch.
The company confirmed the name in a social media post while highlighting the cabin design of the Luce, which Ferrari described as introducing “a new, cross-disciplinary design language into an authentic Ferrari experience.” The interior was developed in collaboration with the San Francisco-based creative collective LoveFrom.

“Designed in close collaboration with the creative collective team LoveFrom in San Francisco, the #FerrariLuce embraces electric architecture as a new opportunity, rethinking every detail of the cabin, interface, and controls,” Ferrari said in the post. “Each element … has been designed to connect the driver with the car in a completely new way.”
Ferrari had already disclosed key technical specifications for the Luce in October. The model uses two electric axles with four permanently excited synchronous motors, delivering 210 kW at the front and 620 kW at the rear. The front axle can be decoupled at any speed to improve efficiency and re-engages automatically when all-wheel drive is required. The battery pack consists of 15 modules with a total gross capacity of 122 kWh and supports charging at up to 350 kW.

The latest announcement shifts the focus to the interior, which blends modern digital systems with retro-inspired elements. Images released by Ferrari show a minimalist steering wheel with aluminium accents, classic toggle switches on the centre console and an aluminium grab handle beneath the central touchscreen. Instrument graphics and physical controls are designed to evoke traditional sports cars, while integrated buttons and rotary dials signal the vehicle’s electric and software-driven nature.
“The Ferrari Luce’s interface is designed with clear organisational principles,” the company said. “Controls and displays are grouped functionally, with the most essential commands and feedback directly in front of the driver.”

The steering wheel features two rotary “Manettino” dials. The left-side E-Manettino controls drive modes — Range, Tour and Perfo — limiting available power to 50%, 70% and 100% respectively. The right-side Manettino adjusts driving dynamics for different conditions, including ice, wet and dry surfaces, and allows the electronic stability control system to be switched off. Ferrari also indicated the presence of an advanced driver-assistance systems button, suggesting autonomous features will be available in certain situations.
Ferrari said it has introduced a new “Torque Meter” display above the tachometer to guide drivers on optimal torque application. Torque can be modulated via the accelerator pedal as well as the steering wheel paddles, which now allow manual control of torque and regenerative braking. “Paddles allow manual control of torque for progressive acceleration, combined with recovered power from regenerative braking,” the company said.
