Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna
has defended the 550,000-euro ($640,000) price tag for the 2027 Ferrari Luce, saying the brand’s first fully electric vehicle has received strong customer interest, including from new clients.
“There is strong interest, including from new clients,” Vigna said on Thursday during an automotive event in Modena, northern Italy, according to Reuters.
