The company introduced the vehicle’s interior and interface design at an event in San Francisco, ahead of the exterior reveal scheduled for May 2026 in Italy.
The Luce, meaning “light” or “illumination” in Italian, represents a new naming direction for the marque as it prepares to introduce a model positioned as a new segment within its range. Ferrari said the name reflects a philosophy in which electrification is used as a means rather than an end, and where design, engineering and user interaction are developed as an integrated approach.
The car has been created in collaboration with LoveFrom, the design collective founded by Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson. Ferrari said LoveFrom worked with the company for five years across all aspects of the Luce’s development, from interior architecture to the human-machine interface.
Interior and interface design
Ferrari said the interior is designed as a single, simplified space organised around essential controls and displays. Hardware and software were developed together, with physical controls retained for core functions rather than relying on large touchscreens. The displays — the driver binnacle, control panel and rear control panel – use a new custom typeface developed for clarity and consistency. The binnacle is mounted on the steering column and moves with the wheel. It uses overlapping OLED displays and was created with input from Samsung Display engineers. Openings in the top display reveal information from a secondary panel behind it, with protective glass lenses and aluminium surrounds.
The steering wheel references historic Ferrari three-spoke designs and is made from recycled aluminium. It includes analogue control modules with mechanical feedback developed through evaluation tests with Ferrari test drivers.
The “start” sequence begins when the key, made from Corning Gorilla5 Glass and incorporating an E Ink display, is placed into its dock on the central console. This triggers a lighting and interface activation sequence across the cabin.
The control panel is mounted on a ball-and-socket joint and can be rotated towards the driver or passenger. It includes a multigraph feature with independent motors and four modes: clock, chronograph, compass and launch control.
Materials used in the interior include recycled aluminium alloy machined using 3- or 5-axis CNC processes and finished with an anodisation treatment for surface durability. Glass components use Corning Gorilla5 Glass for scratch resistance and clarity.
Ferrari said the Luce’s development emphasised durability, manufacturing precision and long-term product integrity. The model will complete its launch cycle with the full exterior reveal in May 2026.
