Ferrari aims to prove doubters wrong after divisive EV debut
Ferrari's debut of its first all-electric car, the Luce, has sparked significant controversy and mixed reactions. The model's design, created by Jony Ive and Marc Newson, has drawn comparisons to various unflattering objects, leading to a notable drop in the company's stock price. Despite the backlash, analysts suggest that the publicity may ultimately benefit Ferrari by raising awareness of its electric ambitions.
