A four-door, five-seat car wearing the Ferrari badge—that alone is worth pausing for. Debuting in Taiwan on August 13, the Ferrari Luce marks the brand's first-ever four-door, five-seat production model, and also its first all-electric sports car. The Prancing Horse once defined itself purely through internal combustion, later added plug-in hybrids, and now fills in the final piece with a fully electric powertrain, completing its three-pronged propulsion lineup.
What makes the Luce interesting isn't that "Ferrari has gone electric too"—it's the unconventional path the car takes toward electrification. While most EVs lean on giant screens to project a tech-forward image, the Luce instead places a round instrument cluster in the cabin that rotates in sync with the steering column. The buttons are physical components made of anodized aluminum paired with Corning Gorilla Glass—things you can actually feel and press, not swipe. There is a screen, of course; a Samsung Display OLED panel handles the smart connectivity functions, but it hasn't been used to replace the tactile driving experience. It's a deliberate choice: going electric doesn't mean surrendering every physical interface.
Performance figures haven't been compromised by the addition of two extra doors. Independent quad-motor drive combined with electric power technology derived from F1 and the 499P race car delivers a maximum output of 1,050cv, with 0-100km/h acceleration in 2.5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 310km/h. The 122kWh battery pack supports 350kW fast charging, with range surpassing 530km. The chassis also features independent rear-wheel steering and active suspension, used to distribute torque across all four wheels and suppress body roll—a setup that sounds more geared toward keeping those two rear seats stable than delivering a single-driver track experience.
The exterior, with input from the LoveFrom design team, takes a minimalist approach built around a glass cabin shell, with 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels—Ferrari's largest specification to date. Maintaining sports car proportions on a four-door body is inherently difficult, and this wheel setup serves, in some ways, as a visual compensation.
Suggested retail pricing in Taiwan starts at NT$26.08 million. The factory provides seven years of scheduled maintenance, while key components of the electric system come with an eight-year dedicated warranty—longer than what's typically offered on electric vehicles, signaling the Prancing Horse's confidence in its own battery system.
