From iPhone to Ferrari: 2026 Ferrari Luce EV quirky Interior revealed

Ferrari has officially unveiled the interior design of its first fully electric sports car, and it now has a name, the Ferrari Luce. The cabin was developed in collaboration with the design collective LoveFrom, founded by Jony Ive and Marc Newson, the same duo known for shaping several iconic Apple products such as the iMac, iPod and iPhone. The reveal marks the second phase of the Luce’s global introduction, following the presentation of its underlying technology in Maranello in October 2025. While the exterior has not yet been shown, the interior provides a clear indication of how Ferrari intends to approach its first electric model.

Ferrari Luce – Interior Design Cabin Layout

The interior of the Ferrari Luce has been conceived as a clean and structured environment with a strong emphasis on clarity and driver focus. Ferrari has avoided an excessive reliance on touchscreens and instead struck a good balance between digital displays and physical controls.

Materials play a central role in the design. The cabin uses one hundred percent recycled alluminium that has been precision machined and treated to achieve a durable finish. Corning Gorilla Glass is used across key surfaces including the central console, displays and shifter. According to Ferrari’s official material, the alluminium components are CNC machined and is anodized, Ferrari claims this is to ensure long term resistance and surface quality.

Ferrari Luce – Steering Wheel and Instrument Cluster

The steering wheel draws inspiration from Ferrari’s classic three spoke designs from the nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties. Its exposed aluminium structure highlights the engineering beneath the surface. The wheel is constructed using nineteen CNC machined parts and is reported to be four hundred grams lighter than a standard Ferrari steering wheel.

Controls are arranged into two clearly defined modules. Driving modes such as Range, Tour and Performance are accessible from the wheel, alongside the signature red manettino dial that manages vehicle dynamics. Ferrari states that more than twenty evaluation tests were conducted with its test drivers to refine the mechanical and acoustic feedback of each button.

Behind the wheel sits a digital instrument cluster mounted directly to the steering column. This arrangement allows the binnacle to move in sync with the wheel, keeping essential information within the driver’s line of sight. The display uses layered OLED panels developed in collaboration with Samsung Display. Ferrari confirms that the graphics reference historic analogue dials while presenting information in a clear and legible digital format.

Ferrari  Luce – Infotainment and Centre Console

At the centre of the dashboard is an infotainment screen mounted on a ball joint. This allows the display to be oriented toward either the driver or the passenger. A dedicated palm rest has been integrated below the screen to support easier interaction.

The central display incorporates a mechanical multigraph unit powered by three independent motors. It can function as a clock, chronograph, compass or launch control indicator. Ferrari describes this feature as a bridge between traditional mechanical instrumentation and modern digital systems.

The centre console appears to float between the seats and includes a glass drive selector. The key itself is made from Gorilla Glass and features an E Ink display that consumes power only when changing colour. When inserted into its dock, the key transitions from yellow to black while the cabin displays illuminate, creating a defined start up sequence.

Ferrari Luce – Physical Controls and Interface Approach

Unlike many electric vehicles that rely heavily on touch based controls, the Ferrari Luce retains dedicated switches and rotary controls for climate, media and essential functions. Ferrari and LoveFrom have mentioned that tactile interaction remains important to maintaining a clear connection between driver and machine.

The interface graphics are inspired by traditional automotive and aviation instruments, designed to reduce cognitive load and improve readability at a glance. Every component has been engineered to align with Ferrari’s performance standards.

As confirmed by Ferrari in an official press release, the Luce’s technology platform was first presented at the company’s e building in Maranello in October 2025. The final stage of the reveal, including the complete exterior design, will take place in Italy in May 2026.
