Ferrari's Luce EV Debut in Rome Triggers Stock Selloff Despite Controlled Unveiling

Ferrari unveiled its first fully electric vehicle, the Luce, at the Vela di Calatrava sports complex in Rome in May 2026, marking a pivotal moment for the luxury automaker after five years of development. The highly secured launch event featured strict camera restrictions on attendees and multi-stage security checks to prevent unauthorized imagery of the 550,000-euro vehicle. Ferrari Chair John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna led the presentation, which showcased design elements created in collaboration with former Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive. Despite the elaborate rollout at the architectural landmark, investor sentiment turned negative. Ferrari's stock declined 8 percent the following day. The Luce, presented in five color options, now faces its true test as it approaches market entry.
