Ferrari Luce Unveiled: A New Interior Era for a New Electric Icon

09 Feb 2026
  • How does the Ferrari Luce interior change the way a driver connects with the car?
  • What makes the Ferrari Luce interface unlike any other electric car?

Ferrari has officially revealed the interior and interface of its first full-electric sports car, the Ferrari Luce, marking a defining moment in the brand’s evolution. Hosted in San Francisco, the event showcased not only Ferrari’s bold shift toward electrification but also a complete rethinking of interaction and design, driven by a close collaboration with the design collective LoveFrom, led by Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson. Luce, meaning “light” in Italian, represents both illumination and inspiration—embodying Ferrari’s aim to lead the future through clarity, simplicity, and cutting-edge innovation.

Inside the Ferrari Luce, the cabin is more than functional, it’s a philosophical statement. The entire space is treated as a clean, unified volume where physical forms are rationalized and refined for pure driving focus. Every interaction point, from the central control panel to the steering wheel and driver binnacle, was designed in parallel with the digital interface to feel harmonious, tactile, and intentional.

Physical controls take precedence over touchscreens. Instead of relying on flat panels, Ferrari and LoveFrom engineered precise dials, toggles, and switches that are mechanical, intuitive, and satisfying to use, reminiscent of Ferrari’s racing heritage and inspired by Formula One cockpits.

Materials used throughout the cabin are authentic and luxurious. Aluminium, 100 percent recycled and precision-machined using 5-axis CNC technology, forms the basis of many components. Each piece undergoes an advanced anodisation process, producing a durable, vibrant finish. Gorilla5® Glass is used for the displays, central console, and shifter, chosen for its clarity and extreme resistance to scratches.

The steering wheel itself is a masterpiece. Inspired by classic Nardi wheels, it uses exposed aluminium spokes and contains 19 CNC-machined parts. Every button was tested for mechanical and acoustic feedback. Even the ignition process is a performance: the key, made of Gorilla5® Glass with a bi-stable ‘E Ink’ display, docks into the console and triggers a visual sequence that blends digital animation with physical transformation.

Displays are split into a driver binnacle, a central control panel, and a rear control display. Each one is organized around user inputs and information outputs, all tied together by a custom Ferrari typeface that pays tribute to the brand’s history. The binnacle, a first-of-its-kind for a Ferrari road car, moves with the steering wheel and incorporates dual OLED panels designed in collaboration with Samsung Display for stunning depth and clarity.

A New Language of Interaction and Craftsmanship

Rather than overwhelming drivers with massive screens, the Ferrari Luce opts for clarity and focus. Every element is deliberate. The shifter is crafted from Gorilla5® Glass using laser-cut microperforations to deposit ink with microscopic accuracy. This creates legible, beautiful graphics that blend modern tech with handcrafted elegance.

One standout detail is the multigraph on the central display, a miniaturized timekeeping instrument inspired by fine watchmaking. It houses three anodised aluminium hands that glide over a Gorilla5® Glass dial. Controlled by independent motors, the multigraph offers four modes: clock, chronograph, compass, and launch control. It reflects Ferrari’s appreciation for analogue depth in a digital age.

Ergonomics and precision define the rest of the interface. The central display is mounted on a ball-and-socket joint, allowing it to pivot between driver and passenger. A palm rest makes input natural and stable, keeping focus on the road. The control layout draws on aviation design, mimicking the legibility and graphic clarity of helicopter gauges and classic Veglia dials from Ferrari’s past.

Everything in the Ferrari Luce is about balance, between analog and digital, between form and function. Whether it’s the feel of a toggle switch, the glow of a minimalist OLED display, or the way materials catch the light, it all reflects a new kind of Ferrari experience. One where the thrill of driving meets the subtlety of design, and performance is communicated through quiet precision.
