- Ferrari consulted with medical experts and NASA about the car’s acceleration.
- Automakers don’t want to annoy passengers.
- The Luce will sprint from zero to 62 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds.
Ferrari is preparing its first electric vehicle and needs help developing it. They collaborated with LoveFrom, the creative collective founded by Sir Jony Ive, Apple’s former head of design, to design the cabin. Automakers should also contact NASA to ensure EV acceleration doesn’t disturb passengers.
In an interview with Indian CarsFerrari CEO Benedetto Vigna told the publication that electric vehicles can accelerate to such high speeds that “sometimes it disturbs our brain,” so the automaker contacted experts. He conducts medical research in addition to working with NASA.
According to Vigna, the automaker wants to know, “What level of acceleration is disturbing to the public?” Too much acceleration isn’t necessarily a good thing, and he adds that it just makes you wait for “time to stop accelerating.”
Despite consulting with NASA and other medical experts, the Ferrari Luce will go fast.

Luce Performance Details
Ferrari’s slow launch of its first electric car has revealed some initial information about the model. Back in October, the automaker claimed the EV would produce more than 986 horsepower and sprint from zero to 62 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 192 mph.
It will have four electric motors and a 122.0 kilowatt-hour battery. It will have independent rear-wheel steering and the active suspension system of the Purosangue and F80.
We’ve seen the interior, which has physical buttons and switches. We expect Luce to debut sometime this year.
Motorcycle Pickup1: Electric vehicles are known for their fast acceleration. It sounds like Ferrari isn’t afraid to be too fast, but instead wants to offer an engaging driving experience that goes beyond pure power. We’ll have to see if NASA’s assistance helps or hinders the vehicle when it goes on sale.
