The first-ever all-electric Ferrari has debuted as the Luce, and its design is somehow even more controversial than the electric powertrain. The online configurator is already live, and to see if we could find a spec that isn’t egregious, we looked at all the options, of which there are several. In fact, there are 35 colors on offer, several carbon fiber additions, and two wheel designs (23-inch in front and 24-inch at the rear, the largest ever fitted to a Ferrari). You can also choose to add Ferrari shields to the front fenders, a Prancing Horse to the front doors, and a debossed rear logo. First, let’s talk about which colors are available, and then we’ll try to spec a Luce that doesn’t make us queasy.
Dozens of Colors for the Ferrari Luce
The 35 colors available for the Ferrari Luce are divided into four categories: Standard, Historical, Classic, and Special. These include eight standard, six historical, 19 classic, and two special hues. Ferrari also offers a selection of pre-made configurations, with Azzurro La Plata mixing a light blue body with a beige cabin, Bianco Artico blending a white body with a black interior, Giallo Luce combining a yellow body with a cream cabin, Rosso Dino putting a red body with an orange interior, Rosso Fiammante pairing a deeper red with a blue interior, and the deafult configuration starting with a red exterior and a black interior.

Autoblog’s Ideal Ferrari Luce Configuration
We started our configuration with the default starting point, and while the two-tone look is certainly dramatic, we think more muted colors suit the EV better. Thus, we’ve replaced the Rosso Corsa default paint with Nero Purosangue, a deep, dark color that looks black in low light and reveals a rich dark red with bronze and golden-orange undertones under direct light. The next step is choosing a wheel, and while the more aerodynamic wheels reduce drag by five percent, they just don’t look good, so we’re selecting the forged five-spoke design. In keeping with the dark theme we’re going for, we chose the Grigio Diamond-Cut finish. From there, you can add titanium wheel bolts with carbon center caps, black center caps, or Giallo Modena center caps. Since the rims of these wheels are silver, the titanium wheel bolts work, and while almost any other Ferrari in our dream garage would have yellow Ferrari logos, we’ve gone with carbon here. Brake calipers come in black, Rosso Corsa, Rosso Scuderia, Grigio Silverstone, Yellow, Aluminium, Blue, or Gold. We’ve chosen Aluminium to brighten up the wheel wells. Then there are the carbon fiber add-ons, and these are numerous.
Optional Carbon Fiber Details:
- Flying bridge trim
- Wheel arches
- Rear difuser
- Roof
- Front spoiler
- Side skirts
Our build ticks all the above boxes, but you can have a panoramic roof instead of carbo, and the flying bridge (the element running from the C-pillar, over the roof, to the other C-pillar) can also be finished in body color, which we think looks strange if the paint is light in color. Since nobody would know this is a Ferrari without some clear branding, we’re adding silver Prancing Horses to the door hatches, but because this is an unconventional Ferrari, we’re skipping the yellow Scuderia Ferrari shields on the fenders. They’d probably be overkill in combination with the door hatch logos anyway. Next is privacy glass for the rear and side rear windows, and then it’s time to spec the cabin, with 19 leather options, one special leather color, and another 19 Alcantara choices. If this is used daily, Alcantara will wear quickly, so we’re going for leather seats in Charcoal with Nero (black) leather elsewhere. We’ve also changed the seat centers to leather instead of Alcantara and added a vertical pattern. You can also select the seatback colors, but we’ve skipped this option for a muted look and added Mad Rosso Giudecca Prancing Horses on the headrests. Monochromatic coloring goes for the carpets, which can be had with or without a Luce logo. To add a splash of color, we’ve chosen Rosso Giudecca stitching, one of 21 options. You can also add ventilated massaging seats in both rows, and you can choose one of four colors for the seatbelts. We’ve gone with Cintu Gun Metal Grey.
The dashboard can be had in Grigio Scuro or Argento Seta anodized aluminum, with the upper section in your choice of eight colors and the lower configurable in 19 leather and 18 Alcantara colors. We chose Charcoal on top and Nero below so as not to detract from the clean interior. The steering wheel gets 16 color choices, and the center tunnel 19 options, plus another 18 Alcantara selections, while the armrests get 19 choices. We went for a mix of Nero and Rosso Giudecca here. You can also have a carbon fiber dash, carbon interior door handles, carbon outer sills, and a carbon steering wheel with LEDs. Tick, tick, tick, tick. You can also add a silver plaque between the driver display and center screen with your choice of inscription, and then there are a bunch of miscellaneous choices unrelated to aesthetics, including a car cover, a smoker kit (the car is Italian, after all), and a fitted luggage set to make the most of the 21-cubic-foot trunk. There are countless combinations possible, and if you’d rather not play around with the configurator (it’s pretty slow), we’ve added a slideshow of several other color choices below. Be warned, some are downright ugly.
