A few thoughts
I think reactions will fall into three categories. 1) Hate it 2) Love it 3) Like the idea of an electric Ferrari but wonder why it had to look like this. As for a potential fourth viewpoint... I'm willing to bet nobody likes the look yet wishes it were petrol powered. My view approximates #3, but I also think it looks better in a non-studio image with a human figure to give relative scale as here with photos to the credit of Motor Trend. I also think they should have workshopped this design with a Ferrari owner's panel without telling them it was to be an EV Ferrari. That would have given more useful feedback on the wholistic quality of the design. Lambo had an EV concept that looked incredible and likely will see the light of day with gasoline power rather than batteries.
I'm a little bit surprised that Ferrari went through with this given the pressures on a publicly traded company with a culturally far right clientele. Lambo, Bentley, and Porsche pulling back on EVs would have seemed to give Ferrari cover to bail on this idea. From Motor Trend:

Who wants an electric Ferrari?
There you have it... https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a71394915/2027-ferrari-luce-revealed/ Enzo must be spinning in his grave at the speed of light...🙄 ...
Said no one ever!!
As much as I dislike most modern Ferraris, somehow I dislike these even more. Marc
As much as I like, and would
like to have a Ferrari that would have to be a hard pass for me.
🤣🤣🤣Yes, exactly!
I thought it reminded me of something, but it seemed so out of place on a car (with 2 of them!) that my brain couldn’t make the connection. Wow, what an odd design choice.
It kinda looks like a toy car
Regardless of what you think of the new Ferraris. I think they still look like an expensive exotic car that you will want on a poster. To me this looks more like a toy car trying to look like a Ferrari without paying licensing fees.
Outside DC the Lambo dealer is next door...
...and doing a THRIVING business thanks to stunts like this.
This is hideous
Not my style. They will sell because people want a badge. I do like there are physical controls.
Makes the new Jag look like a masterpiece
Where's the dream? I can think of many vacuum cleaners with more sex appeal, sad.
Dead-on. Relatively speaking, the concept Jag is a piece....
of automotive Cyberpunk nirvana 😄👍
I want one, but only if...
...it's more than $500k, they make me wait for years, and beg them to sell it to me...
I just read the Car and Driver mini-review...
...it seems like a car for someone with far too much money. They are 'synthesizing' sound and you will hear it both inside and outside the car. So it takes a hundred years to make cars quiet, and Ferrari decides we now need to hear electronic noise everyw...
A Ferrari? Other than the 4 round lights in the rear…
It is not recognizable at all. However, there will surely be people who will want it to complete their garage.
Hey, it's a Jony Ive design, it will sell as well as an iPhone....
which, coincidentally, it appears to be aiming to replicate aesthetically-speaking 😭....
It was supposed to be a 🚀
We got instead a muffin. When designers are victims of their own ego and management is blind
The market has spoken
Ferrari’s market cap down 4 bn Euro on the launch, that’s the value of this car. The market has spoken.

Looking back at Ferrari’s 2022 update…
“On track to be 60% electrified by 2026” — Doesn’t look like it is anywhere near that. “Plans to be 80% electrified by 2030, with 40% fully electrified, 40% hybrids and 20% ICE” — In 2024, the 2030 plan changed to 40% full electric, 20% hybrids and 40% IC...
Honestly, the hybrid goal should be an easy one to reach.
It's not a fuel economy strategy, but all super/ultra cars seem to be adding electric motors and four driven wheels to reach new absurd levels of power and performance. The 296 GTB is technically the entry level mid-engine Ferrari, and it has 800+ hybrid ...
Surprised they took most of the promotional photos with the rear lights active
The back end looks 100% better with the lights out. This shot was hard to find among the studio images disseminated today. From Ferrari: ...
Maybe the idea really is to build a Ferrari for people who find Ferraris obnoxious - almost the way a Panerai minute repeater is revolting to a regular Paneristi
Honestly, this car almost seems tailor made to appeal to people who currently own no Ferrari and want nothing to do with the brand's other products. I've often used the term "Hublot/Panerai for people who don't like Hublot/Panerai" when reviewing some kin...
Yes. That is - to me - exactly the (or one) point with this thing.
A family car for people with money and different priorities. A bit like when Porsche stepped into SUV-land with the Cayenne. The reactions where similar, if I remember correctly.
Someone on the radio this afternoon
was comparing the looks to the new Nissan Leaf. Maybe it's just me, (but probably not) but I sure don't see $640,000 worth of car here.
Former Ferrari chairman comments making the rounds on social media.
“I cannot say what I really think; I would harm Ferrari. We risk the destruction of a legend. So sorry. Take the prancing horse off. At least the Chinese won’t copy this car.”
Come on guys, you know how this works . . .
. . . if you do not buy one of these, you do not get on the list to buy the F70 or whatever holy grail Ferrari comes up. Just like buying watches from what I hear!
