Ferrari’s first ever electric car has been sold for $40m
It was sold in a charity sale, setting a RECORD for a new vehicle sold at auction.
The sale of the Ferrari Luce – brainchild of the British iPhone designer Sir Jony Ive – raised more than 35 times the usual price of the car at the event at RM Sotheby’s in California.
The Luce faced a backlash when it was launched in May. Some commentators said it strayed from the marque’s traditional designs and lost part of the brand’s identity by being battery-powered and having five seats.
Sotheby’s said all proceeds of the sale will be donated to the Ferrari Foundation’s educational programmes.
The buyer of the custom Luce was not named.
