John Elkann, the president of Ferrari, presented Pope Leo XIV with the electric model Luce, marking a premiere for the brand. The car has 1,000 horsepower and an innovative design.

During a special audience at Castel Gandolfo, Ferrari president John Elkann revealed to Pope Leo XIV the Luce model, the brand's first fully electric vehicle. The name "Luce," which means 'light' in Italian, symbolizes a new era for Ferrari, both in terms of propulsion and interior design. After an official discussion, the car was unveiled, and the Pope had the opportunity to sit behind the wheel, being interested in the advanced technology. The Ferrari Luce boasts 1,000 horsepower, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, and has a range of over 530 km. Designed in collaboration with the agency LoveFrom, founded by Jony Ive, the model reflects Ferrari's commitment to innovation. Although the company has scaled back its goals for fully electric vehicles, the launch of the Luce underscores the importance of the transition to a greener future in the luxury automotive industry. The estimated price of the model is around 550,000 euros.
