The company promised to revolutionize the industry, setting a new standard for electric performance cars that all of its rivals would follow. Instead, the Ferrari Luce was lambasted on social media for its controversial looks and confusing positioning\u2014it\u00a0wasn\u2019t the immediate smash hit the company had hoped.<\/p>\n<p>The design is what got people talking. Penned by Jony Ive and his team at LoveFrom,\u00a0Ferrari partnered with the iconic designer in hopes that he would be able to usher in a daring new era for Ferrari\u2019s first EV. Something the world had never seen.<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"svg-search\"><\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo by: Ferrari<\/p>\n<p>On paper, that made sense; Ive\u2019s accolades are hugely impressive. His masterpiece\u2014his Mona Lisa\u2014is the original iPhone, a design that remains the standard for smartphones nearly 20 years later. And he\u2019s credited for hundreds of other recognizable projects beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>But a quick dive into Ive&#8217;s history will tell you that he might not have been the right man for the job. By his own words, Ive\u2019s focus has always been on minimal, functional, and largely safe design. In a 2012 interview discussing Apple&#8217;s search for simplicity, he said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Our products are tools, and we don&#8217;t want design to get in the way. We&#8217;re trying to bring simplicity and clarity; we&#8217;re trying to order the products&#8230; The quest for simplicity has to pervade every part of the process.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"svg-search\"><\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" alt=\"Jony Ive\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo by: Jony Ive<\/p>\n<p>That philosophy works for phones and laptops, technology meant to blend into the background, but it doesn\u2019t exactly translate to Ferrari\u2014a brand known for sports cars that stand out.
