I had the same thought, but the article starts with "first look at the interior". So maybe the exterior does not exist yet?

EVs have a weight issue that fundamentally constrains their overall design. It is really a tough engineering problem to try to shave weight off of everything, because you are starting out with a 700kg battery replacing a 400kg engine + transmission, so you are ~300kg in the hole, and need to remove 300 kg from the rest of the car. That's why they do crazy stuff like use the battery as part of the structural frame, to…
I wonder what the speed/weight tradeoff is on a Ferrari though. Eg on a Bugatti they can put in a beast of an engine (heavy) because their buyers care only about power output and if it gets 8 miles to a gallon who cares. On an electric sports car, where does the break lie between extra weight for a powerful battery and too much weight to make the car go vroom? Side note: I wonder if, in 20 years, petrol cars will the…

That's certainly the way it's worked out with horses after petrol cars took over.

#184Having used sunglasses that project a monitor on to them products I am very surprised that the speedometer is going to move with the wheel.
That said an electric Ferrari is not a car built for me. If I could justify such a car I'd want something practical or that makes a great noise. "Fun" to drive would not be on my agenda.

#185> ESC off
It's always funny to me that electronic speed controllers and electronic stability control have the same initials. ESC off, you have disconnected the motor!

Ferrari interiors have always been spartan and aimed at functionality. This feels like a modern Ferrari F40 dashboard and I like it a lot.
This is an enormous departure from Ferrari interiors to the point where it no longer looks anything like a Ferrari beyond the emblems inside.
Yes, the dashboard must be tan. Like in Magnum PI.

It's exists. Car and Driver and other sites have photos.
Obviously it's weird to not showcase the exterior of a Ferrari, that being pretty much the entire point of Ferrari. The cynic in me can't help but think this may be due to the fact that it looks like a lowered Hyundai with a body kit[1].

#189not sure why those things are still manufactured to reach 300km/h and advertised at 210km/h when all they do is mostly crowding at 10km/h in city's oldtowns
Re: Luce: First Electric Ferrari
#190A lot of that UI will be difficult to operate with gloves on. And knobs that have to be twisted rather than thumb wheels on the steering wheel seem like strange choice to me; awkward to use even with bare hands.
