Doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t ugly. Porsche made the cayenne and the panamera, too. The V12 buyer won’t even look at this, but the luxury EV buyer now has a new thing to consider.

The back of the car is ugly.

I suppose by "back" you mean the whole car?

Sheesh, it looks like its own Chinese knockoff if that clichee were still a thing :D

Mm... yeah I guess except the weird front grill it's doesn't look exactly bad... but then you scroll down to the other Ferrari at the bottom of the page... "oh".

Define ugly

Ferrari Luce ugly.

At least it tries to look like a Ferrari a bit more than the rest of the car. It's a rounded F40 without the wing

No, the V12 buyers will buy these in droves. Ferrari is incredibly elitest. You’ve got to buy multiple lower tier vehicles to even be allowed to maybe eventually buy a build slot for one of the high end cars.

Not really, I love the original Taycan. It's too bad the second generation looks a bit more like BYD/Model 3, I wish they would have stayed with the original design even if it means staying with lower range.

Panamera is a beaut, though.
Re:Ferrari Luce – Designed with Jony Ive by baq on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @10:21AM (#48280239)
we'll have to agree to disagree I guess ;)

Compared to the Cayenne I’m with you. Compared to a 911 though…

Worst case Ferrari will make people buy these so they can buy something else.
Re:Ferrari Luce – Designed with Jony Ive by rubyn00bie on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @02:13PM (#48283531)
They’ll likely have to buy several of these, in different colors, and agree to sell them back to Ferrari at a massive loss… only for Ferrari to repeat the process over and over.

The shenanigans manufacturers like Ferrari and Porsche are allowed to get away with is so frustrating. But when people treat cars like collectibles and never even intend to drive them, I suppose there’s little reason not to.

Porsche cars are designed to be driven and they are.
