As the Prancing Horse steps into the electrification track, Ferrari has chosen not to follow the trend. The interior design of the all-new pure electric sports car Luce, named after the Italian word for "light", outlines a unique cockpit look for the electric future while honoring the brand's century-old heritage, with every detail embodying Ferrari's persistence in the essence of driving.

The cockpit Ferrari built for the Luce is a pure space entirely designed around the driving experience, free of redundant design frills and dedicated to a quiet and focused driving atmosphere. Unlike most automakers that finalize hardware before developing software, the Luce has achieved synchronized development of hardware and software, enabling the perfect integration of physical architecture and human-machine interaction interface. Following the core logic of "Input (Control) and Output (Display)", designers have laid out core components such as the dashboard, control panel and center console in a clear manner, ensuring every operation by the driver delivers intuitive feedback. This ingenious design keeps the cockpit of this electric sports car steeped in the unique driving immersion that defines Ferrari.

The steering wheel is undoubtedly the highlight of the Luce's interior, bearing the mark of classics yet infused with modern innovation. Drawing inspiration from the classic wooden three-spoke Nardi steering wheels of the 1950s and 1960s, the design team created a renewed minimalist three-spoke shape, a nod to the Prancing Horse's historical heritage at first glance. The exposed aluminium spokes are a visual highlight, crafted from 100% recycled aluminium alloy that not only boasts excellent mechanical strength but also perfectly adapts to the anodization process, maximizing the material's structural rigidity and luster. More notably, the steering wheel is assembled from 19 precision-machined components by CNC machine tools, and has reduced weight by 400 grams compared to the standard Ferrari steering wheel, achieving lightweight design without compromising on texture.

The button layout of the steering wheel is even modelled on F1 single-seaters, divided into two independent physical control areas that balance functionality with visual layering. Each button is meticulously developed and has undergone more than 20 evaluation tests by Ferrari's test drivers, ultimately achieving the harmonious integration of mechanical and auditory feedback. The connection between the driver and the car is instantly established the moment a finger presses a button.

In an electric era dominated by large screens, the Luce's screen design blazes its own trail. The new car is equipped with three display screens, positioned on the driver-side dashboard, control panel and rear control panel respectively. Instead of blindly pursuing size, every screen features a clear and organized interface with well-defined functions. The design team repeatedly refined the combination logic of input and output for an intuitive and user-friendly experience. It even drew inspiration from classic brand fonts and Italian engineering typefaces to create a custom exclusive font for the new car, unifying the typography of the interactive interface with the overall interior design.

The dashboard design pays a profound tribute to classics, drawing on the iconic designs of Veglia and Jaeger from the 1950s and 1960s, with the core idea of minimizing the driver's cognitive load. Much like a mechanical watch dial allows for quick time reading, the control buttons and display interface of the Luce follow the principle of simplicity, enabling the driver to capture key information at a glance and keep their focus firmly on the road ahead. The central control screen is also fitted with a multi-directional swivel ball joint, allowing it to turn freely towards the driver or passenger. Paired with a wrist rest area specially designed for the control panel, the driver can perform precise operations by intuition without looking, a thoughtful detail that fully demonstrates Ferrari's pursuit of the ultimate driving experience.

Most notably, Ferrari has made an unwavering commitment to physical buttons. Based on LoveFrom's pioneering design philosophy, the Luce completely breaks the industry norm that "pure electric models must be equipped with large-size touchscreens", prioritizing tactile physical control buttons. In Ferrari's view, physical buttons forg a closer connection between the driver and the car. Precisely calibrated mechanical buttons deliver an intuitive operating experience that large screens cannot replicate, with all components stripped of redundancy and focused solely on core functions.

Cutting-edge technology is also embedded in numerous interior details. The multifunctional display on the central screen is equipped with a patented movement, with three anodized aluminium hands gliding smoothly across the minimalist dial driven by three independent motors, and the dial is covered with a Corning® Fusion5® glass cover. It also offers four modes: clock, chronograph, compass and launch control, creating a strong sense of ritual. The gear shifter features the first application of Corning® Fusion5® glass in the automotive interior field. Engineers used laser technology to drill micro-holes half the thickness of a hair strand in the glass, then precisely filled them with ink to ensure the uniform and perfect color texture of the surface patterns. Boasting superior surface durability, impact resistance and scratch resistance compared to traditional glass, this glass is also widely used on the surfaces of the control panel, dashboard and central control area, striking a perfect balance between elegance and practicality.

The interior of the Ferrari Luce is a unique answer the Prancing Horse has given in the electric era. It has not abandoned its brand DNA for electrification; instead, it perfectly integrates Ferrari's racing heritage, Italian design aesthetics and modern electric technology. From the recycled aluminium alloy steering wheel to the first-ever application of special glass, from the F1-inspired button layout to the unwavering commitment to physical buttons, every detail tells a story: Ferrari's electrification is never blind conformity to industry trends, but marching towards the future while upholding the brand's core essence.

Today, we can only catch a glimpse of the Luce's charm through interior photos, and it remains uncertain whether it has fully captured the core essence of Ferrari. Yet this dedication to sticking to classics in innovation and clinging to the driving experience in electrification has already filled car enthusiasts with anticipation. As the Prancing Horse takes flight with electric power, this unique driving romance that is quintessentially Ferrari will surely shine with a different radiance in the electric era, just as its name "Luce" implies.
