E-mobility: Ferrari Luce achieves $40 million at auction

A unique Ferrari Luce, the company's first all-electric model, sold for $40 million at an auction in California during the Monterey Car Week. The sale, which went through Sotheby's for a charitable cause, set a record as the most expensive new car ever sold at auction. The Luce, unveiled in May with a list price of €550,000, marks a departure from Ferrari's traditional gasoline-powered sports cars and was developed in collaboration with LoveFrom, the design studio of former Apple chief designer Jony Ive. The four-door sports car boasts over 1,000 horsepower.
