‘How can you have a Ferrari without any vroom?’: electric model shocks owners’ club

Suggestion the Luce EV should be stripped of prancing horse logo shows strength of feeling from Ferrari fans

For passionate enthusiasts, Ferraris are not merely cars but works of art. The emotion stirred by their classic red curves is, they say, akin to standing before a Michelangelo sculpture, while the sound of the engine revving evokes a sensation comparable to listening to the music of Giuseppe Verdi or Giacomo Puccini.

Which is why the sight of the Italian carmaker’s first fully electric car, the Luce EV, unveiled this week, left many fans aghast.
