The Ferrari Luce is the marque’s first full-electric sports car, and its interior was unveiled recently in San Francisco.
Rather than following the now-familiar template of screen-dominated EV interiors, Ferrari has approached the Luce as a driver-focused machine first and an electric car second.
Why is the Ferrari Luce different from other EVs?
One of the key differences that the Ferrari Luce has over other EVs is the non-existent oversized touchscreen that is now a common feature in many electric vehicles. Instead, it prioritises mechanical interaction. Physical buttons, dials and toggles sit alongside carefully integrated digital displays, making the whole experience feel much more analogue.
The interior features 100% recycled aluminium alloy, CNC-machined from solid billets and anodised for durability and depth of finish. Corning® Fusion5® Glass is used throughout for strength, clarity and scratch resistance, including on the control panel, binnacle and shifter.
Key Interior and Interface Features
Steering Wheel
A simplified three-spoke design pays tribute to Ferrari’s 1950s and 60s heritage. Made from 19 CNC-machined parts in recycled aluminium, it is 400 grams lighter than a standard Ferrari steering wheel and features two analogue-style control modules inspired by Formula One layouts.
Binnacle and Displays
For the first time in a production Ferrari, the instrument binnacle is mounted to the steering column and moves with the wheel. It has overlapping OLED displays developed with Samsung Display, and features a world-first layered cut-out design for added visual depth. Graphics are inspired by classic Veglia and Jaeger dials.
Control Panel
Mounted on a ball-and-socket joint, the central display can be angled towards the driver or the passenger. It also integrates a mechanical-style multigraph powered by three independent motors, offering clock, chronograph, compass and launch control modes.
Glass Key and Start Sequence
The Luce introduces an automotive-first glass key with an E Ink display. When inserted into its dock, it changes colour and triggers a coordinated lighting sequence across the cabin.
The first all-electric Ferrari is almost here, with the exterior being revealed in May.
