Ferrari teammates Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton drew a viral fan response after Hamilton pushed the new all-electric Luce around a track, prompting Leclerc to shout, "Careful!" and repeatedly call out "LH."
The moment came ahead of the Luce's official unveiling, when the two Formula 1 drivers took turns driving the EV before Ferrari removed its red silk cover.
Ferrari's first fully electric Luce packs a 122-kWh battery and four motors producing 1,035 horsepower, with 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds, a 192-mph top speed and up to 330 miles of range.
After the run, Leclerc called the design futuristic and praised the return of physical buttons, while Hamilton said the power delivery and cornering feel remained distinctly "very Ferrari."
The Luce has already stirred debate online over its five-door electric design and €550,000 price, with Ferrari expecting strong reactions from both supporters and critics.
As rivals retreat from luxury EVs, is Ferrari's Luce a visionary leap or a brand-defining blunder?
Did Jony Ive’s minimalist design honor Ferrari’s passionate Italian heritage or betray it?
