— Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, former Ferrari chairman, expressed dissatisfaction with the new Ferrari Luce, suggesting it could tarnish the brand's legendary status. Speaking to media, Montezemolo remarked:
“If I said what I really think, I would say some very unpleasant things, so I would rather not comment. I only hope that someone removes the Prancing Horse from that car. There is a risk of destroying a myth, and I am deeply sorry about that. At least this is one car the Chinese will not copy.”
— Flavio Briatore, another prominent figure, also criticized the design, noting its uniqueness might deter imitation. Speaking to media, Briatore commented:
“Everyone keeps asking me if I've seen the Ferrari Luce. There's one big advantage: In my opinion, this time, the Chinese won't copy it.”
— Despite the criticism, Ferrari's leadership remains optimistic about the Luce. Chairman John Elkann highlighted the model's innovative nature and its role in shaping Ferrari's future. Elkann stated:
“With Ferrari Luce, we are once again redefining the limits of what is possible. Today, we are not simply unveiling a new car, we are inaugurating a chapter that turns our vision into reality, strengthening Ferrari's tradition of anticipating and shaping the future.”
— CEO Benedetto Vigna emphasized the car's bold design and technological advancements, underscoring Ferrari's commitment to innovation. Vigna explained:
“Ferrari Luce was born precisely from this challenge, offering our unprecedented vision of electrification. Never before have we offered our clients such freedom of choice. In line with our belief in technological neutrality, we are the first in the world to combine fully electric, hybrid and combustion engine architectures for sports cars.”
— The Ferrari Luce, unveiled in Rome, is the brand's first fully electric production car, featuring a futuristic design and a powerful 1,000 hp output. It represents a significant shift from traditional Ferrari models, sparking mixed reactions from investors and enthusiasts alike.
