When you hear that the designer of the iPhone, Jony Ive, is involved in designing Ferrari\u2019s first all-electric car, what do you imagine? Sweeping touchscreens lining a sci-fi-looking cockpit, perhaps. This is the guy who helped make touchscreens the norm, initiating an industry-wide purge on buttons (RIP BlackBerry). But with Ferrari, he\u2019s doing the opposite.<\/p>\n

The Luce might be the Ferrari of the future but its interior is surprisingly analog. It\u2019s the result of a five-year collaboration between Ferrari and LoveFrom, a creative agency founded by Jony Ive and Marc Newson, whom Ive hired at Apple to help create the Apple Watch and who has a history in automotive design, including spearheading the ahead-of-its-time Ford 021c concept car in 1999.<\/p>\n

The two bonafide design legends decided that just because the Ferrari\u2019s engine is all-electric, it doesn\u2019t mean the interface has to follow suit.<\/p>\n

While the Ferrari Luce\u2019s interface includes digital displays, such as the modest control panel, the main focus is on mechanical buttons, dials, and switches. Below the control panel are nine different knobs that primarily control the air conditioning, while a feat of watchmaking is integrated into the top-right corner that, through independent motors, switches between being a clock, chronograph, compass, and launch control. In most modern cars, these kinds of features are fully digitized.<\/p>\n

The Luce\u2019s steering wheel, made in a razor-thin specially developed aluminium alloy, has a similar variety of physical controls with two analog control modules inspired by Ferrari\u2019s Formula 1 cars.<\/p>\n

These tactile traditional design elements are intended to feel, according to a press release from Ferrari, \u201csimple,\u201d \u201cfamiliar,\u201d and \u201ceasy to navigate.\u201d Basically, Ive and Newson, two pioneers of futuristic design, decided to go back to the classics.\u00a0<\/p>\n
