Ferrari has officially unveiled its first fully electric vehicle, the Luce, with the global premiere and initial details released in early-to-mid May 2026 (around May 25 in Rome/Italy). This marks Ferrari’s long-awaited entry into full electrification while maintaining its performance heritage.
Key Specifications
- Powertrain: Quad-motor all-wheel-drive system producing around 1,000–1,113 hp.
- Acceleration: 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 2.5 seconds.
- Top Speed: 193 mph (310 km/h).
- Battery & Charging: 122-kWh battery with 800-volt architecture supporting up to 350 kW fast charging. Claimed range exceeds 330 miles WLTP, translating to roughly 280+ EPA-estimated miles.
- Dimensions & Weight: Four-door crossover-style body with a 116.5-inch wheelbase (slightly shorter than the Purosangue) and curb weight under 5,100 lbs.
- Design & Interior: Low-slung yet practical profile. The interior features significant influence from former Apple designer Jony Ive, emphasizing a clean, modern, minimalist layout with premium materials and advanced digital interfaces.
Pricing: Expected to start well above $600,000–$650,000 USD. It is a highly exclusive, limited-allocation model.
North American Availability & Buyer Details (US & Canada)
- Launch Timeline: Global reveal in May 2026, with first customer deliveries targeted for late 2026 or early 2027 in North America. Initial US allocations will go through Ferrari dealerships in key markets (e.g., California, Florida, New York, Texas). Canadian availability follows shortly after via select dealers.
- Charging Compatibility: The 800V system integrates well with North American networks. Expect support for NACS (Tesla Superchargers) via adapters or native implementation, plus CCS compatibility. This supports long-distance travel on US Interstates and Canadian highways.
- Incentives & Practicality: At this price, it is unlikely to qualify for the full $7,500 US federal EV tax credit, but buyers may access state-level incentives (e.g., in California or New York) or explore luxury leasing. Ferrari’s strong brand supports excellent residual values.
- Target Buyer: North American enthusiasts seeking supercar performance with added usability (four doors, practical range). AWD suits varied climates, and it excels in coastal or Sun Belt regions.
Why This Matters in May 2026
The Luce represents a major milestone for Ferrari and the broader luxury EV segment. It combines extreme performance with everyday drivability, pressuring competitors like high-end Porsche, Lucid, and Tesla models. Early feedback highlights exceptional build quality, optional sound synthesis for engine-like audio, and cutting-edge infotainment.
Real-World Range Expectations: 250–280 miles in mixed US driving conditions, with 10–80% charges possible in about 15–20 minutes on suitable DC fast chargers.
Competitors in the NA Market: Positioned against the Lucid Air Sapphire, Tesla Model S Plaid, and upcoming high-end offerings from Rivian or Jeep for performance-luxury buyers.
Official US pricing, exact EPA ratings, and configurator access are expected in the coming weeks following the May reveal. Production is limited, so early allocations are filling quickly.
This summary draws from the latest May 2026 reports and official teasers. Confirm final details with your local Ferrari dealer for personalized North American quotes and availability.
