Ferrari Denies Forcing Buyers to Order Luce to Secure Access to Limited Models

The company says dealers must sell the Luce only to genuinely interested buyers, with exact order figures to be released in its second-quarter results at the end of July.

Overview

  • Ferrari publicly rejected Bloomberg’s report on June 22, saying it is not requiring customers to buy the Luce EV to qualify for future limited‑series models and calling the story false.
  • The Bloomberg account, published in mid‑June, said some dealers and collectors believed ordering the Luce could help preserve or elevate a buyer’s standing on Ferrari’s allocation lists for scarce models.
  • The Luce is Ferrari’s first battery‑electric four‑door, five‑seat model, priced at about €550,000 and planned for production in late 2026 with deliveries into 2027 in most markets.
  • Ferrari reminded dealers to sell the Luce only to buyers who genuinely want it and warned that forced or unhappy buyers would harm resale values and the brand’s exclusivity.
  • The company says it is receiving interest but will not publish precise Luce order numbers until its second‑quarter results at the end of July, a report that will clarify demand and allocation effects.
