Ferrari's First Electric Car Sells for Record $40 Million at Charity Auction
Ferrari's first fully electric car, the bespoke 2026 Luce, sold for a record $40 million at a charity auction during Monterey Car Week, surpassing the previous highest auction price for a new car. Designed with LoveFrom and featuring over 1,000 horsepower and four doors, the model marks Ferrari's shift from combustion engines. Proceeds will benefit The Ferrari Foundation, with delivery expected in early 2027. Despite initial criticism and a share price dip, demand for limited editions remains strong.
