First Ferrari Luce Gets Auctioned For US$40 Million
The Ferrari Luce is an oddball of a car. It’s the Italian carmaker’s first EV, and despite, or maybe because it was, being designed by famed designer Jony Ive’s company LoveFrom, the exterior does not have the look that you’d normally imagine from the brand.

First Ferrari Luce EV, crafted by the Italian automaker's first electric vehicle initiative, was auctioned off for a hefty US$40 million at an RM Sotheby's event. This particular model, chassis number 0, is the first to ever roll off the assembly line. While the standard Ferrari Luce retail price stands at EUR550,000 (~RM2.6 million) or US$600,000 (~RM2.4 million), this unique model is worth far more due to its bespoke features.
The car's exterior is a distinctive Madreperla Semi-Gloss finish, developed specifically for this car, giving it iridescent reflections that shimmer from green to violet under different lighting conditions. Inside, it boasts Le Mans metallic leather in Perla and a Grigio Corvana (natural medium grey) upholstery, deviating from the typical black finish found on most Ferraris. Despite its unconventional appearance, the car maintains an air of monochrome elegance with predominantly black, white, and grey hues.
Known for its lightning-fast performance, the Ferrari Luce accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and boasts a top speed of 310 km/h. All proceeds from this specific Luce are donated to charity, specifically the Ferrari Foundation. In the end, the buyer still received a car that delivers on the badge's promise of high performance.
