- Ferrari unveiled its first electric vehicle, the Luce, designed by former Apple chief Jony Ive.
- The Luce starts at $640,000, offers a 329-mile range, and accelerates 0-100km/h in 2.5 seconds.
- Ferrari's share price dropped up to 8% post-launch, reflecting investor uncertainty.
- The saloon-like design diverges from Ferrari's traditional sportscars, featuring five seats and four doors.
- Ferrari's 2030 lineup plan is now 40% internal combustion, 40% hybrids, and 20% electric.
- Analysts criticized the design as resembling a Honda Accord EV and Tesla Model 3.
- The car includes a motor sound played through speakers to appeal to traditional enthusiasts.
