Lots of comments saying it looks ugly. I don't agree. But the $650,000 price tag is not pretty - that I can agree on. I know people will pay that.

I didn’t realize it was an Ive creation. The asthetics make more sense now. It just doesn’t really make sense as a Ferrari. Ferrari makes super cars and this is kind a a run of the mill ev under the hood. The interior is very nice. The rest of Ferrari can hopefully borrow from this.

It looks like a BMW concept car honestly, like something I'd see at an auto show. Nothing reminds me of Ferrari.

Interesting fact from the page: "The lowest drag coefficient in Ferrari history, achieved through aero-styling convergence, active air shutters, and ride-height logic that lowers the front by 10 mm even while cruising" I guess not having large air intakes and generally a slightly larger frontal area helps with that (the coefficient of drag is always multiplied by the area, so this might not be the most aero Ferrari e…

All worthwhile points. A less worthwhile point: Especially especially low drag, when people don't drive it.

Ha ha. I can't imagine any Ferrari dealer would want this on their lot.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

On the battery size, 122kWh is actually pretty large for this size. Most Teslas have <100kWh batteries and they all have better or similar range.

Measured in Elon miles though.

My 2024 Model 3 Performance regularly sees its EPA rated range.

Original title called out the connection to Jony Ive, in case you’re curious why this is on HN.

Previously it had been known that Jony Ive was working on the interior of this car, but it seems his firm is responsible for the exterior as well[0].

It is 2026 cars don't need start buttons, physical keys, or giant round air vents

If you like to show your car off once a month to friends, then sure.

But practically,

> start buttons

What is a difference from switch on button on laptop? How do you tell the car, that you are ready to drive?

> physical keys

So when your phone will not be working, are you walking home? I like physical keys because it does not create dependency on single artifact and thus single point of failure.

I feel like most Ferrari drivers are buying them as collector's items to be preserved rather than something to be driven. EVs, by contrast, feel more like appliances meant to be used and enjoyed. And there will always be a more advanced model coming out just around the corner. They've kind of hinted at the fact that this is meant to be more of an appliance than other models, with a more accesible price: > “We were ex…

Ferrari uses cars like this to test loyalty. If you want to get 'on the list' buying cars like this is one of the ways to do it, especially if you haven't spent considerable $ with them before.
