Ferrari's First All-Electric Luce Sets Auction Record at $40 Million
Ferrari's first all-electric vehicle, the Luce, sold for $40 million at a Sotheby's charity auction during Monterey Car Week, setting a record for the most expensive new car sold at auction. Despite initial criticism and a drop in Ferrari's share price after its May unveiling, the tailor-made model, designed with LoveFrom and featuring over 1,000 horsepower and seating for five, has attracted orders from both new and existing customers. The Luce marks a departure from Ferrari's traditional combustion-engine sports cars.
