Ferrari's Luce interior, designed by designers Jony Ive and Mark Newsome, has drawn mixed reactions for its Apple-like radical simplicity and visible similarities to other car interiors.
Many automotive journalists have praised the Luce's pared-back look, while several car designers interviewed by the author described it as cold, brutal and lacking emotion.
The author highlights the steering wheel's resemblance to the Ferrari 250 Europa that Jony Ive apparently owns but notes modern airbags enlarge the center hub and make the spokes appear stumpier; two lower pods resemble first‑generation Audi R8 clusters and look tacked on.
The writer concludes some Luce elements feel more at home in mass-market vehicles, and applying consumer‑tech aesthetics to Ferrari has prompted debate about form versus automotive emotion.
