Ferrari fans don’t like the design of the new Luce EV, an electric four-door sedan that just doesn’t look like the Ferraris of old.

It was designed with help from Jony Ive’s Love From, but what worked for Ive at Apple isn’t working for Ferrari. The Luce’s launch immediately preceded a stock drop that even an appearance by the Pope hasn’t been able to turn around so far.

Hawkins‘If I were to say what I think, I would be hurting Ferrari.’That was Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, former Ferrari president, commenting on the recent reveal of the polarizing electric Luce. He continued (translated from Italian): There is a risk of destroying a legend. I am very sorry. I hope… I hope to… I hope they take the prancing horse off that car, at least… This is definitely a car that, at least, the Chinese won’t copy.

Feb 9 Andrew J. Hawkins Ferrari’s first EV will have an interior designed by Jony Ive Ferrari Ferrari released the first interior images of the company’s first all-electric supercar, called the Ferrari Luce (“light” in Italian). This is the second time the Italian automaker has teased the Luce (formerly Elettrica) without showing us the actual car, or even a silhouette. But the interior images should suffice given the bold-faced name of the designer: Jony Ive. Ferrari decided to outsource the work of designing the Luce’s interior to Ive and his partner Marc Newson, who together run the design shop Love From. Ive, obviously, is well known for his work as Apple’s former chief designer, overseeing such iconic products as the i Mac, i Phone, i Pad, and Apple Watch. Now he’s turning his attention to a vehicle from Ferrari — and perhaps, in the process, giving us an idea of what an Apple car could have looked like, had the tech giant decided to pursue its secretive Project Titan instead of spiking it.
