On May 25th, in just a few days, Ferrari will formally introduce its first-ever electric car, “Luce”, which the Prancing Horse describes as "completely different in every possible way from anything we've ever made". But be warned: the 2030 plan specifies a very particular mix: 40% internal combustion engines, 40% hybrids, and 20% pure electric. Internal combustion engines are not going; rather, they remain a cornerstone of the range. Technically, the Luce will have over 1,000 horsepower, a range of more than 530 kilometers, four seats, and a 0-100 km sprint time of 2.5 seconds. Its chassis and bodyshell are built of 75% recycled aluminum, which reduces CO2 emissions by 6.7 tons each car manufactured. This comes as Lamborghini cancels its first electric vehicle project. The CEO has described it as a "expensive hobby", doubling down instead on hybrid technology and the unmistakable roar of the V12. It’s a bold and identity-driven decision that feeds into an ongoing debate in the supercar world: is there really a market for a silent Lamborghini?
