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.

Yeah. What are people even talking about? The rear looks a bit too R34, the bottom part of front bumper looks a bit 992, and the car overall looks a bit too comical looking, but other than that, this is just completely fine. I can almost see beautiful placements of control points. I've never seen a car with a front wing that explains itself like this does, instead of obscuring the function in air channels and lid-looking cowlings. The B-pillar door handle is also a neat idea.

Ugly is the word for things like front end of Gen 1 Tesla or Gen 4 Prius, not for this. wtf.

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 sounds like the interior is the Ive part. It’s the outside I don’t like. I don’t hate it… just looks like it could be a Kia EV. If you’re goofy enough to buy a Ferrari I expect you want people to really have to see that you’re driving a Ferrari.

Not a problem - because you'll also be wearing a Ferrari hat and jacket, just to make sure.

Makes sense from corporate perspective to hire the "Apple Designer" to craft the interior experience, it's fresh input from a very respected UX design-lead of another industry. But handing over responsibility for the exterior is quite questionable IMO. To me, the exterior has lost almost all of Ferrari's identity. It's a nice car-design, but if you'd tell me it's a Hyundai, Lexus or BYD I would believe you. I wonder…

Doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t ugly. Porsche made the cayenne and the panamera, too. The V12 buyer won’t even look at this, but the luxury EV buyer now has a new thing to consider.

The back of the car is ugly.

Ahem, there is a new Rolling Stones album slated for release in 2026. I most definitely agree with you by the way.

lol. Emotional Rescue was when I stopped listening, but I hope that Keith and Mick live forever, even as statistical outliers. I love folks that win the life lottery. It's a hope for all of us.

It's sick those guys are my parents gen and still work and do what they love like outliving most of your fans must be a lonely life

I just feel they were required to start an EV offering to comply with EU standards, but have designed something of a joke entry to protest being dragged into the EV game. That, or they truly have insight into where consumer trends will go, and like the F50 etc, this will be better received in a decades time than now.

They can easily afford to pay the fleet emission fines even if they apply to them (I'm not sure since they are a small volume manufacturer and there might be exceptions for them). And they have produced hybrids since 2013 already.

I suspect this car is more aimed at people who want a Tesla with a sports car badge rather than people who want a sports car. And I think that’s why most on here don’t like it. For the vast majority of people, a Ferrari is something aspirational. But for those who can afford one but would rather have “normal” car, this might appeal. It has the form of something practical while still signalling wealth. Before now, tha…

A tesla is a hedge against oil prices, a Ferrari obviously isn't.

EV is hedge against oil prices. Tesla is just a luxury brand of EV
