Ferrari Ex-Chairman Warns New Luce EV Risks ‘Destruction of a Legend’

Source Beincrypto

Former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo warned that the brand’s first all-electric car risks “the destruction of a legend,” adding sarcastically that at least the Chinese would not copy it.

The Luce, unveiled in Rome on May 25, is priced at €550,000 and produces over 1,000 horsepower from four electric motors. Deliveries begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.

A Public Verdict from Ferrari’s Former Boss

Montezemolo spoke on the sidelines of a business conference in Rome. He initially told Italian media that sharing his view publicly would harm Ferrari. Then he shared it anyway.

“Yes, we risk the destruction of a legend,” Luca di Montezemolo, former Ferrari chairman said.

He went further, calling for the prancing horse logo to be removed from the car. Meanwhile, online reaction tracked the same skepticism, with Luce’s design compared to a Honda Accord and a luxury kitchen appliance.

Ferrari’s RACE shares fell more than 6% in Milan trading, wiping roughly €3 billion in market capitalization. The stock also declined in US pre-market trading.

Vigna Stands Behind the Vision

CEO Benedetto Vigna framed the Luce as the product of five years of deliberate work. He /iframe>" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">rejected the premise that breakthrough ideas emerge from broad agreement.

“Real innovation is not democratic. Breakthrough ideas rarely emerge from immediate consensus,” Benedetto Vigna, Ferrari CEO said.

He added that balancing courage with responsibility and tradition with innovation has defined the project from the start. Vigna said he is “profoundly proud” of what the team built.

The Luce was designed by LoveFrom, the studio of former Apple chief design officer Jony Ive. Ferrari filed more than 60 patents connected to the vehicle.

The car seats five people, tops 310 kph, and claims a range exceeding 500 kilometres on a 122kWh battery.

The RACE slide contrasted with broader sports-equity trends. FIFA World Cup stocks have drawn fresh attention heading into summer 2026, showing how established sports exposure can offer more predictable ground than a luxury brand’s electric pivot.

A Wider Moment of Investor Caution

Ferrari was not the only brand facing similar investor skepticism this week. The Peter Thiel-backed Enhanced Games saw its stock drop roughly 50% following a disappointing Las Vegas debut.

However, SpaceX’s IPO filing posted a $4.28 billion Q1 loss yet attracted record investor interest, showing markets are divided on how to value ambitious pivots.

Ferrari confirmed it will continue producing combustion-engine models alongside the Luce. The long-term investor case for its electric shift now rests on whether Q4 deliveries can convert early attention into sustained demand.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
