New Delhi: Ferrari has officially introduced the cockpit section of its first EV named Luce. The full reveal of the car and the interiors is expected late this year, in May. The interior design is created in collaboration with the design legend and former Apple design head Jony Ive and his team at LoveFrom. The striking cockpit blends retro Ferrari vibes with cutting-edge EV tech. This masterpiece derives inspiration from the three-spoke wooden finish steering wheels seen with the Ferrari cars in the1950s and 1960s. In its modern form, the steering wheel is made entirely from recycled aluminium alloy. It is lightweight and has a classy, premium feel.
The steering wheel houses the two triangular pods with the aviation-style controls. On the left, the users can select the rotary switch to choose the driving modes of Range, Tour, and Performance. On the right, a red manettino can be used to choose the chassis configuration modes of Ice, Wet, Dry, Sport, and ESC OFF. Damping and wiper controls are offered by the company in this upcoming EV. Ferrari has also indicated that the Luce EV could enable users to adjust power distribution to individual wheels. The Prancing Horse emblem could get an illuminable transparent section, which could be used to display alerts and notifications.
Ferrari Luce has a 12.5-inch instrument binnacle with aviation-style dials. Installed directly to the steering column, the dials ensure easy information access without any distractions. The dials use advanced technology, including the bespoke Samsung OLED displays. The large central dial displays the speed with the physical needle as well as the digital readout. As we discuss the bottom, the users can see the battery remaining and the available range. There is a smaller dial that shows the power percentages, and there is a smaller dial on the right side as well, which shows readouts such as the tyre pressure and G Force. The top OLED layer is illuminable and can be used to display warnings, navigation, or shift aids.
On the right side of the car, there is an instrument panel with a 10.12-inch infotainment screen, which is mounted on a ball-and-socket joint. It comes with the palm rest, making it easier for users to operate the various control buttons. The top section of the infotainment screen displays chronograph, clock, compass, and launch control information. The compact infotainment screen is in stark contrast with the large displays found in the most modern cars of the current era. Luce’s centre console also looks pretty with its distinctive glass gear shifter. Another interesting technology is the e-ink, which illuminates when the glass aluminium key is plugged into the magnetized dock on the centre console.
