The first produced unit of the fully electric Ferrari Luce was sold at a charity auction in California for 40 million dollars, approximately 34.5 to 35 million euros. According to available information, this is the highest sum ever paid for a new automobile at auction. n-tv ↗
The Luce model is the first completely electric vehicle from the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari. The automaker presented it in late May and the vehicle had already become one of the most discussed models of the brand even before the auction. According to published reports, the electric powertrain sparked significant disputes among Ferrari enthusiasts and the debate also had an impact on developments surrounding the company's shares.

The auction was organized by Sotheby's. The sold sum significantly exceeded the vehicle's standard value and surpassed the previous record for a new car at auction, which was a modified Ferrari Daytona SP3 sold last year for 26 million dollars. The proceeds from the sale of the first Ferrari Luce are to be directed to charitable purposes. idnes.cz ↗
Despite the controversies surrounding the brand's electrification, the new model is reportedly sold out. The record auction thus demonstrates that the interest of collectors and clients in Ferrari's first electric automobile remains high even at a time when its introduction sparked heated discussion about the brand's future direction.
