    Jony Ive really is a talentless hack. First he destroyed Apple's user interface (admittedly the new Liquid Glass is equally as attrocious)
    and some of Apple devices, now he has designed the ugliest (inside and outside) Ferrari ever seen ... and it's a ridiculous four-door,
    five-seater, EV! What was the Ferrari management thinking?!

    This monstrosity is going to sell about as well as a cat-poo burger
    would at McDonalds. :-\


    Ferrari Reveals $640,000 EV Co-Designed by Jony Ive
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Ferrari today unveiled the Luce, its first fully electric car,
    designed with help from Apple's former design chief Jony Ive.

    "Designed with Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson at the creative
    collective LoveFrom, a singular design language unites the
    exterior, interior, and interface with clarity and refined
    simplicity throughout," said Ferrari.

    The exterior of the car has a "smooth, continuous, and
    uninterrupted" design, with a "shell-like form" and "floating
    front and rear aerodynamic wings."

    The interior has "precision-engineered mechanical buttons,
    dials, toggles, and switches" combined with "multifunctional
    digital displays."

    The three-spoke steering wheel is machined from 100% recycled
    aluminum.

    The four-door, five-seat Luce is powered by four electric
    motors providing up to 1,035 horsepower, and it is equipped
    with a high‑capacity 122 kWh battery. Ferrari says the car
    can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds.

    A dedicated app offers climate controls and charging settings,
    and it displays the car's status.

    Luce pricing starts at Euro550,000 (US$640,000) in Europe, with
    production set to begin in late 2026. The car will launch in
    the U.S. in the second quarter of 2027.

    Looks fine to me. Looks like a Ferrari. What did you expect it to

    For a start, the change to the rdiculous "flat" design for the user
    interface was an attrocious decision (on the same level as the awful
    "Liquid Glass" nonsense). Putting Ive in charge of software was an
    equally bad decision by Apple.

    Almost everybody is complaining about how bad and un-Ferrari it is. The
    x-boss of Ferrari is saying they should take the logos off it and that
    at least teh Chinese won't be trying to copy it. Even the Italian
    government has said it is bad look for Ferrari. Plus, to prove how
    ashamed of the car they are, Ferrari didn't even bother giving the Pope
    one ... they just gave him a steering wheel instead!

    Even ignoring the ugly Ive design influence, Ferrari should never be
    making silly SUVs, mini-SUVs, etc. Neither should Lamboghini, Porsche,
    Aston Martin, etc.

    That's the problem. It doesn't look anything like a Ferrari. Looks more
    like a glorified Honda.

    What did you expect it to
    look like?
