Jony Ive: Ferrari rejected 'fake engine sound' because modern customers hate inauthentic tech. I've always hated the trend of pumping fake combustion engine sounds into electric vehicles. It's an immediate turn-off. Automakers think enthusiasts just miss the noise, so they sell us synthetic nostalgia. But Ferrari made a very...

🚨 FERRARI JUST UNVEILED ITS FIRST ELECTRIC SUPERCAR — AND PEOPLE THINK IT’S AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER Ferrari’s new all-electric “Luce” is going viral after the luxury automaker revealed a design so controversial people genuinely thought the footage was fake. This isn’t just Ferrari’s first EV… It’s one of the biggest identity shifts in the company’s entire history. The Luce features: • 1,035 horsepower • four electric motors • simulated “gear shifting” • a 5-seat layout • center-opening doors • 24-inch rear wheels • and a starting price around €550,000 But none of that is what people are talking about. The internet is absolutely detonating over the LOOKS. Comments flooding the reveal video: • “This looks like a generic crossover.” • “Ferrari just killed Ferrari.” • “They made it ugly on purpose so nobody wants EVs.” • “Looks like a Hyundai concept car.” • “This might be the biggest design miss in Ferrari history.” Others say the backlash proves something bigger: • Ferrari buyers don’t actually want EVs • the soul of exotic cars was always the engine • and silence can never replace a screaming V12 At the same time… some people are defending it as: • futuristic • bold • intentionally different • and the beginning of a completely new Ferrari era But one thing is clear: People are not reacting to this like a normal Ferrari launch. Did Ferrari just build the future… or destroy the soul of the brand? 📹: caranddriver

Jordan Golson has a great read on 5-year partnership between LoveFrom and Ferrari for its first EV: ▫️It began in 2021 and before Jony Ive or Marc Newson “drew a single line, they spent six months on research.” ▫️Research led to 4 hardcover books, that were “substantial, rigorous volumes printed in both Italian and English, left page and right page, covering philosophy, design history, the cultural significance of Ferrari within Italy, the relationship between human attention and physical interaction." ▫️In an incredible coincidence, Benedetto Vigna became Ferrari’s CEO in 2021 (he is a physicist who invented the "three-axis accelerometer that ended up inside the iPhone"). ▫️LoveFrom has spent past 2.5 years manufacturing components for the car’s interior (including 40+ custom glass pieces in collaboration with Corning, which Steve Jobs had convinced to commercialize Gorilla Glass for the first iPhone). ▫️Ive felt too many new cars has taken the minimalist iPhone touchscreen to the interiors and wanted to find a way to blend tactile knobs with digital. ▫️One of the most striking things from Ferrari Luce’s launch video is the Ferrari key fob that goes next to the stick shift and lights up the car. ▫️Ive wanted the key fob to create "theatre" with how the vehicle turned on (as Golson notes, "Electric cars fundamentally lack the ritual of starting up. There’s no engine turning over, no rumble settling into an idle, no mechanical systems awakening. The Luce’s key ceremony isn’t trying to fake that — it’s creating a new version of it, native to what this car is.") ▫️The end product we saw last week “barely at all” changed from the proposal in those original 4 books (Ferrari will unveil full exterior in May). It's not clear how much Ferrari is paying for the partnership but previous NYT reporting said top-tier clients at LoveFrom (team of 60 including tons of ex-Apple designers, UX, software folk) spend up to $200m a year. *** Full Golson read here:
