Like I like the design but it just doesent look like a Ferrari or even Ferrari inspired. Its as if Fiat/FCA designed a neat car but then stuck a Ferrari badge on it

[–] BandanaBug@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Bruh. Ferrari is making (electric) crossovers now? We're living in the worst timeline..

[–] Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

I feel like for this to be successful Ferrari would have to do something that showcases craftsmanship and uniqueness in the motors. The engines were a setpiece in many of their cars and that was a big reason you bought one. I cant help but feel EV cars just have motors with different sizes and specs but they are all just some variant of a Samsung/Panasonic/Toshiba design or something thats been scaled up from the motor thats in my washer.

Everyone makes SUVs at this point. Porsche, BMW, even Lambo.

Why cant we get electric cars that dont look like robot vacuums?

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Because robot vacuums are apparently aerodynamic.

[–] jagermo@feddit.org 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ah, in their famous color, Ferrari Blue, the color it has been known for and has used on all its famous cars.

[–] postnataldrip@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I dread to think how many people at Ferrari saw that, had the ability to say "wtf, no", and didn't

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ferrari sell cars to fund their F1 habit. They don’t really put much effort into their road cars.

F1 funds Ferrari. They make money from F1.

Enzo is surely rolling in his grave right now. Him and a lot of the guys that worked for Pininfarina that are now dead.

Not quite as ugly as the Cyber Truck, but holy what an ugly looking Ferarri. I'd probably guess about 5 other car brands before I even thought to guess Ferarri.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

It pays homage to the Powell Homer.

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Honestly, just make it look like a Testarossa. Why does it have to look like a slip on shoe?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Because it was not designed to sell. It was made for compliance on fleet C02 outputs, so they purposely made it overpriced and ugly so they don't actually have to waste time making them.

122 Kwhr battery. Batteries are now $120/Kwhr. So a battery pack is $15K -where the fuck does the other $600K come from? Free coke and ho's?

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Looks like shit

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Why do all electric cars look alike?

I ma not a designer but I know I could easily come up with awesome and cool designs for cars, none of those designs would look like the manager and c-suite designed shit that is on the road now

[–] jagermo@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right? Pull out one of the concept cars that were impossibe to build in the 70s and use that as a base. Build something cool. What is wrong with Ferrari, Porsche etc? They sell their cars on emotion, not practicallity, why do they have the most boring EVs?

Must be the "car must vroom vroom" brain

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Do you find the Taycan boring? And based on the reactions, this Luce is everything but 😉

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Do you find the Taycan boring?

Most do, which is why they don't sell.

Thanks, I hate it.

[–] Wugger@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

It's the best looking prius yet

[–] brokenwing@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel this design might age well.

[–] modcolocko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

people will all claim they originally liked this design in 15 years

[–] Zier@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's great that we are getting so many EVs. But why can't people hire qualified designers? There are so many ugly EVs.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Italian design houses of the 70s-80s are all gone.

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gimme Giorgetto Giugaro back. He designed my current car, and I'm looking to by an 80s car based heavily on his design from the previous generation

But why can't people hire qualified designers?

I've heard a lot of things about Jony Ive, but unqualified is new.

I suspect he (well, his design company) was asked to design something that not only stands out from all existing normal Ferraris, but is still unmistakably a Ferrari. I think this was accomplished here, just look at the rear lights and tell me you don't get an F40 vibe. It also looks pretty small for its dimensions and weight, which I suspect was also intentional. It's actually bigger and heavier than their crossover SUV and I believe the biggest car they've ever made, certainly in modern times. Half a meter longer than the 458. 30 centimeters longer than the 12Cilindri with its ridiculously long hood.

I also love how this is the guy behind the iOS interface (so basically all modern touchscreen interfaces), while it does have a touchscreen, the interior controls are actually mostly physical buttons and knobs, made of machined aluminium and glass. It looks a bit weird at first glance, but IMO it's a pretty interesting combination of modern and retro. A throwback to the Ferraris of old while acknowledging that this is the future.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of a 5 seater Ferrari personally, though. Should be 2, 4 at the most. Wouldn't have to be as tall in the mid-rear section if it was a 2 seater. The proportions remind me of Polestar 2, which is also an EV... I suspect this is all for efficiency, both aerodynamic and fitting a bunch of batteries in there.

If I was a multimillionaire, I think I'd buy one and if they made a proper 2 seat version, I'd upgrade from "I think" to "I'd definitely". The interior alone is a breath of fresh air compared to most modern high-end cars. Put it this way, here's a Porsche Taycan, another high end electric luxury sports sedan:

Here's the Ferrari Luce:

[–] artyom@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (6 children)

The Luce just went full retro and I love it. I think everyone likes the interior, its just the exterior that is bland and offensive. Take a look at the Rimac to see what a proper electric supercar should look like.

Missed opportunity to call it FerrarEV

[–] bob@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

Well, the wheels are nice...

[–] mastod0n@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Someone was inspired by $1 Matchbox cars.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It looks like a Lucid with Ferrari badging. Also is that a back seat I see? Gross.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It looks nothing like a lucid.

I very much like how The Autopian put it: "Magic Mouse, but car"

[–] fozid@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

I like the interior, but don't like it's exterior. It should have been a 2 seater and they should have been more imaginative about the drive train and overall layout to achieve something more striking and interesting. It isn't distinct enough from every other ev on the market.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like it. Wheels are way too big though.

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

They need them so big, to balance out the big flat side surfaces. They look almost too small still to me :D

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Definitely ugly AF. Pathetic effort.
