At first I thought it was a Ferrari custom built for Jony Ive made just to his specifications. But once I saw the first image I could easily understand it was designed by him. It's a talent to be an industrial designer with such a clean recognizable style that it's like a signature, easily recognizable as to who it belongs to.

Yes, Ive's style is very recognizable as Dieter Rams design principles and language with brighter colors.

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 ever, that's a different claim).

Cool, it has suicide doors like the BMW i3 (a legendary concept car that escaped into the wild, and caused BMW to lose a lot of money)

love the interior, not sure how i feel about that front end however. "The lowest drag coefficient in Ferrari history" is not what i would have guessed just seeing the picture alone, so props to them on making this possible!

Kinda telling that the video doesn't show the front up to the very last moment.

I'm pretty sure they realize perfectly well how ugly it is.

I wonder if some of the design is related to the car that Apple was designing, if Apple released an EV this is pretty much what I would have expected it to look like

I don't like it at all. The curves, the silhouette, does not work at all, it does not "speak" to me as a Ferrari. Again, a heritage brand ruined by an obnoxious, pesky iPad like display that has no business being in a Ferrari. The front profile is hideous too.

Introducing the new

iFerrari XS

It's 140% better than the previous Ferrari Enzo

And 20% thinner

With a brand new Magnesium case

It's the fastest Ferrari we've ever built.

I thought the interior looked pretty nice - lots of retro physical switches, etc. The exterior doesn't look like a normal Ferrari but maybe that's on purpose. A "normal" Ferrari buyer would probably buy a normal Ferrari. Maybe this is more for someone who would have bought a Model S or X in the past but has a lot more money to shell out.
