Ferrari readies Luce 1,000+ hp EV

Ferrari has moved its first battery-electric road car from concept to public rollout, and the company is now treating the Luce as a live product rather than a rumor. Ferrari formally announced the Luce name on February 9, 2026, describing it as its first full-electric sports car, and has since published dedicated product and engineering pages on its official site. Ferrari had already said its first EV would be introduced in stages, after first showing the electric car’s underlying technology in October 2025. That sequence matters because much of the recent online chatter around the Luce has mixed official Ferrari disclosures with unsourced performance claims. Ferrari itself has confirmed the name, the all-electric positioning, and parts of the hardware architecture. The company has not, on the official pages now live, published a total system horsepower figure or a final public debut timetable beyond its staged reveal process. ### When did Ferrari actually confirm the Luce? Ferrari said on February 9, 2026 that Luce would be the name of its “visionary new full-electric sports car,” in a corporate release published from Maranello. The company paired that announcement with a first look at the interior and interface, framing the car as the start of “a new chapter” in Ferrari’s history. October 9, 2025 was the earlier milestone in that rollout. Ferrari said at the time that Capital Markets Day 2025 would be used to reveal the production-ready chassis and components of its first full-electric model, which it called a milestone in a “multi-energy strategy” spanning combustion, hybrid and fully electric drivetrains. ### What has Ferrari officially shown so far? Ferrari’s current Luce model page focuses on the cabin and user interface rather than full vehicle specifications. (ferrari.com) The official page says the car’s controls and displays are organized to keep essential commands and feedback directly in front of the driver, and presents the Luce as a production program already far enough along for Ferrari to preview finished interior design themes. (ferrari.com) Ferrari’s engineering page gives the clearest technical detail now in public from the company. That page says the front axle is designed in house and delivers a total power output of 210 kilowatts, with 93% efficiency and a power density of 3.23 kilowatts per kilogram; it also says a disconnect system can shift the car to rear-wheel drive to improve efficiency. ### Where does the 1,000-plus horsepower figure come from? (ferrari.com) Recent third-party reports have described the Luce as producing more than 1,000 horsepower, often alongside claims of four motors and sub-2.5-second acceleration. Those figures appear in media aggregation and enthusiast coverage, but Ferrari’s official Luce pages surfaced in current searches do not state a total horsepower number. (ferrari.com) The official 210-kilowatt front-axle figure shows why the higher-output speculation has gained traction. On its own, 210 kilowatts is about 282 horsepower, and Ferrari’s engineering page refers specifically to the front axle rather than the complete vehicle, leaving room for a much larger combined output once rear-drive hardware is included. That is an inference from Ferrari’s published axle data, not a company-confirmed total. (msn.com) ### Has Ferrari said when the EV will be fully unveiled? Ferrari previously said customer deliveries of its first EV were set for October 2026, according to reporting that cited Chief Executive Benedetto Vigna after an earnings update. That earlier timetable also described a three-phase reveal, with the technology shown first, followed by later public stages. As of May 24, 2026, Ferrari’s official Luce pages available online show the name, interior and selected engineering details, but not a full public spec sheet. (ferrari.com) The next concrete milestone is the full vehicle reveal and the approach to October 2026 deliveries that Ferrari previously outlined. (ferrari.com) (evmagz.com)
