The company’s shares plunged by 8% the day after the Luce was unveiled.
Lol. They let an iPhone designer design a Ferrari, and it really shows.
Whoever designed that smooth as a booger look clearly didn’t have a poster with Ferrari on it, in their room, as a kid.
I would sell their stock too, if I had any.
I don’t even think it looks that bad, it just doesn’t look like a Ferrari
I imagine that’s the issue, that it does in fact not look like a Ferrari, when it is supposed to be a Ferrari.
Yeah definitely, like if Audemars Piguet released watches that didn’t look like an Audemars Piguet they’d definitely get a similar reaction from similar clientele.
I totally agree. It looks like a startup made a concept of a vehicle in a movie. It’s not ugly by any means ugly but when I see a Ferrari I KNOW it’s a Ferrari. Same way with a McLaren or a Lamborghini.
I saw an image edit with a Toyota Prius badge and I legit liked it
Hyundai’s Ioniq Venus concept actually kind of looks like if Ferrari designed a Prius
How hard is it to put a battery on a testarossa.
Dumbasses tried to reinvent the evI’m confused, are people really butthurt because it doesn’t look exactly like every other car Ferrari has put out? This is literally not even the first car they’ve put out that doesn’t look like a classic Ferrari. They literally make a SUV now. Sometimes I feel like people are just upset whenever a company that traditionally makes ICE cars all of a sudden start making an EV.
Ferrari has one of the greatest design teams in Pininfarina yet they choose a person famous for making a rounded rect to make a totally new product. This is what they get for their poor choices.
Lol it’s so ugly… It’s not that hard to create an EV. Which can also be beautiful.
Yeah, it looks like something Jony Ive designed… Shortly after the LaFerrari came out they said they’d never do an EV or SUV, which is probably where most of the backlash come from. How the turn tables, eh?
Edit: Did Jony Ive also design the interior? Because it looks like straight out of an Apple Store.
Aww I think it looks cool. I get that people don’t like change; but it’s not like they’ve stopped making the other ones. Feel bad for them; I don’t think its the best use of collective action to punish new ideas that are way down the totem pole of evil in this world.
Ferraris have soul, they’re exciting, they look fast standing still. This thing looks fine as a standard passenger EV but it is no Ferrari. People are telling them exactly that, collectively.
This could be a Lotus. Lotus E-clipse or so
The thing that gets me is when car designers make a car that’s trying to be something it’s not. It’s an EV, not an ICE vehicle. If anything, amplify the motor hum under load (accelerating). Don’t simulate engine sounds. We’re tired of living in a simulation.
There was no reason to make it look so out of place, unless they actually wanted to tank sales. Nothing about its look is necessitated by the EV drive train versus ICE.
That’s not a marketing issue, that’s whoever approved that design. Which, to be fair, may be the marketing boss depending on how their corporate structure is.
Yeah, true. But to be honest, as the marketing boss he has to defend that bullshit thing and I wouldn’t stand for it as well.
Seriously marketing has so much power in my company. They dictate what products get developed. Meanwhile my so company they are treated like jesters.
Just bc you used or “collaborated with Jonny Ivey” or whatever his name is. Doesn’t make me think this car is more aerodynamic - I highly doubt my iPhone is aerodynamic (except when I drop it accidentally¿)
I drive an EV
This sort of shit doesn’t help with idiots hating EVs on principle
In my view, the EV-drivers are the idiots. Although I’d prefer “ignorants” as those can be smart and dumb.
EVs are almost 100% cloud-cars full with surveillance and subscriptions and everything bad that comes with it. Not to say EVs are inherently bad, they aren’t. I would love one, technically speaking. I also love tech and gadgets. But not this level of remote control over “my” car.
I went from Bentley to cheap dumb cars over the years just because they all do it, some more some less. And EVs are the top of the “modern” shit. But the “entry-level” cars are still only filled with the basics. Even haptic buttons and dials (beside a damn touchscreen though).
You will own nothing, rent everything, and be happy about. I won’t.
Youre right in that new cars are all shit. But that goes for ICE and EV.
Rolling surveillance mobiles and unrepairable. Total garbage.
Old (note, old to me means 70s or 60s, but I think younger folks now think 90s is old, so I’ll go with that) was better in every way. I’ll take a 99 civic over any new car today. Though id say about 2012 is peak if you want more comforts (I do not). Really sucks we allowed the government and corporations to fuck up cars so bad.
Modern ICE cars have the exact same telemetry, even at the lower end models now. There are ways to circumvent some of the monitoring by deliberately terminating their antennas however. It really depends on the model though and whatever documentation regular drivers would be willing to share. My EV was modified this way and now I have a tiny reminder on the corner of the console that it can’t connect.
This is all a bandaid of course. We either come up with a gray market of workarounds or we demand legislation to remove this shit in a privacy bill. Considering we have a mandate by Congress starting in 2027 to install AI equipped driver facing cameras to disable the car if the driver even vaguely looks incapacitated shows that it would be a massive uphill battle however.
I went from Bentley to cheap dumb cars
👍👌
Same energy
I think it looks alright, honestly.
Yes, if it was a Kia then it’d be great (at 1/8th the price, maximum).
Yeah, that’s exactly it. It doesn’t seem bad. It just seems out of place based on the price point and clientele.
I also think it looks alright, but if you saw one on the street, would you think it’s a Ferrari?
Yes, because it’s got the giant yellow Ferrari logo on the side of it.
