Keyword: Trying
You know what we feel about the Ferrari Luce, but allow me to give you the gist: We don’t like it. Trying to soften the blow, phrases like “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” “we don’t get it,” and “wait-list ticket” were thrown around the office.
In any case, it just doesn’t hit the right notes, especially since it’s a Ferrari. However, that hasn’t stopped aftermarket brands from trying to make it better, which is a smart move. Considering that people still bought the Luce even after its PR nightmare of a launch means that there are clients.
Vossen and Karanadivi have joined forces in a post, featuring Vossen’s G2-13T wheels and Karanadivi’s rendering prowess, which lowers and adds a few bits and pieces to the Luce to try to make it look better.
Lowered on New Wheels
Vossen is a brand that’s known for high-end forged wheels with fitment options for hyper-, super-, and luxury cars and more. Is this what the doctor ordered? Is the Luce problem finally solved? Well, I’ll let you be the ultimate judge of that.
The Vossen G2-13T wheel takes inspiration from the legendary rally designs of the past, but does it with modern materials and techniques. Vossen touts that it’s the “next evolution of Duoblock,” which is essentially a two-piece wheel in forged aluminum with custom configurations and sizes available, from 18s all the way to 22s. The G2 series was launched late in August this year, and now it has been rendered on a Luce.
Honestly, the wheels do help. Aerodisc designs like these are often odd to begin with, and they seem to suit odd cars like the Luce. The bulky design tends to complement the visual weight of the Luce, and so too does the lowered stance.
Body Kit and Spoiler?
While you can buy the wheels in real life, the kit is a rendering. The full rendered body kit includes a front lip, side skirts, and rear diffuser that helps the Luce look a lot better. Tack on the spoiler, and maybe you can even say this is “good.” CGI artist Karanadivi rendered this for Vossen, and on its side, it doesn’t look half bad.
Maybe if the Luce didn’t have so much junk in the trunk, it would actually look like a Ferrari. Still, the brand met its sales targets for the Luce anyway, so it’s working, I guess. In any case, Luce owners will have a whole library of aftermarket brands to pull from if they ever want to make their Luce look (better) different.
