Ferrari has debuted the Luce, its first electric vehicle, in the Chinese market. Priced at 586,600 USD, the entire initial allocation of 88 cars sold out immediately.
The vehicle was designed by former Apple employee Jony Ive. Coverage from Reuters and The New York Times highlights a polarizing reception to the car's aesthetics, with one opinion piece describing it as "ugly." A Ferrari executive stated that the divisive design needs to be "digested." Meanwhile, Yahoo Finance reports that Ferrari has rejected claims that purchasing a Luce is a requirement for accessing other limited-edition models.
Future developments may center on how the market responds to the Luce's design over time and whether further units will be released following the rapid sell-out of the first 88 cars.
