  • Ferrari shares dip after unveiling of first electric vehicle with Jony Ive design
    May 26, 2026, 10:10 AM EDT. Ferrari's shares fell by up to 8% in Milan after launching its first electric vehicle, the Luce, designed by former Apple chief Jony Ive. The $640,000 car offers 329 miles of range and fast acceleration, yet its unconventional, minimalist design-a significant shift from Ferrari's traditional petrol sportscars-divided analysts. The Luce, a five-seat, four-door saloon, targets wealthy families more than sportscar enthusiasts, marking a departure from Ferrari's heritage. CEO Benedetto Vigna highlighted the move as a bold step toward electrification. However, some experts criticized the design's appeal and questioned its alignment with Ferrari's iconic brand. Ferrari aims for an electric lineup mix by 2030, with 20% fully electric models planned.
