Ferrari Luce chassis number 0, the electric model of the Cavallino goes to auction: starting bid in the millions

The Ferrari Luce is preparing to take a new step in its history with its entry into the world of major auctions dedicated to collectible cars. The first example produced of the completely electric model from the Maranello house will indeed be a highlight of the Monterey Car Week, scheduled in California from August 13 to 15, one of the most prestigious events for enthusiasts of historic and sports cars.

The sale will be organized by RM Sotheby's, which will auction off the so-called chassis number 0, a model built according to specifications requested by the United States market. The vehicle stands out with an exclusive configuration developed through the Ferrari Tailor Made program, dedicated to the most refined customizations.

The exterior boasts the special Semi-Gloss Mother of Pearl paint, a finish designed to create shimmering reflections in shades of green and purple depending on the lighting. Completing the design are white-painted wheels and brake calipers specially made for this unique configuration.

The interior has also been finished with exclusive materials. The cabin features Grigio Corvara finishes and Perla Le Mans leather upholstery, specifically developed for the Tailor Made program using carefully selected Swiss leathers. A commemorative plaque also identifies this first example, contributing to increasing its collectible value.

On the technical side, there are no expected differences from the series model. The Ferrari Luce maintains four electric motors capable of generating a total of 1,050 horsepower, allowing for an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 310 km/h. The 800-volt electric architecture and suspension derived from the Ferrari F80 complete a platform designed to deliver high performance and particularly sophisticated driving dynamics.

The auction will also have an important charitable goal. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Ferrari Foundation to support educational initiatives in the United States, while another portion will finance the M-Tech Alfredo Ferrari project, the future center dedicated to technological research in the automotive sector that will be inaugurated in Maranello in 2029. The starting bid has been set at $1.1 million, equivalent to about €960,000. It will be the audience at the Monterey Car Week to determine the final value.
