Luce: Ferrari's ingenious electric revolution

Rome is set to be the scene of a milestone that could hardly be more significant for Ferrari: on 25 May 2026, the manufacturer plans to present its first fully electric production Ferrari to the public. The name of the model has already been decided – ‘Luce’, Italian for ‘light’. And it says it all: not as a departure from tradition, but as a deliberate starting point for a future in which performance, emotion and electrification come together. Ferrari is not just talking about a new type of drive system – but about a new chapter in the brand's identity.Three phases until the world premiere – and a deliberately built-up suspense arcFerrari has designed the launch of the Luce not as a classic ‘curtain up’ moment, but as a multi-stage unveiling. After the early technical visualisation of key components, the next, strongly design-driven stage followed in early 2026: the name and interior were revealed in advance, without revealing the complete exterior. This dramaturgy is no coincidence. It signals that Ferrari does not want the Luce to be seen as merely an ‘electric model’, but rather as the start of a separate segment within its own model range – with its own character, its own design language and a clear message: electrification is not an end in itself here, but a tool for new possibilities.

Cayenne Turbo Electric 2026

With the Cayenne Turbo Electric, the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer is finally entering the age of fully electric SUVs. Back in 2002, the Cayenne was the model with which Porsche conquered the luxury off-road vehicle segment. With the fourth generation, a pure battery-powered vehicle is now available for the first time. Two variants will be launched in spring 2026: the Cayenne Electric and the top-of-the-range Cayenne Turbo Electric. Both feature all-wheel drive with one permanently excited synchronous motor per axle. The electric Cayennes are longer and wider than the previous models, yet still offer the characteristic silhouette with a low bonnet, curved roofline and striking fenders.Supercar-level performance and driving dynamicsIn the Turbo version, the E-Cayenne delivers a system output of up to 850 kW (1,156 hp) when the start or ‘push-to-pass’ function is activated. In normal operation, 630 kW (857 hp) is available; an additional boost of 130 kW (176 hp) can be called up for ten seconds at the touch of a button. The maximum torque is 1,500 Nm. With this power, the SUV, which weighs just under 2.72 tonnes, sprints to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in just 7.4 seconds. The top speed is 260 km/h. The standard Cayenne Electric achieves 300 kW (408 hp) in normal driving mode and 325 kW (442 hp) with the aid of Launch Control. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 230 km/h. Both versions feature electronic Porsche Traction Management (ePTM), which regulates the power distribution between the front and rear axles in milliseconds.
