Ferrari’s electric future is moving from concept to collectible with the first production Luce headed for auction in Monterey.
Chassis 0 is more than an early build number. It’s the opening chapter for Maranello’s first series-production electric car, finished as a one-off with Tailor Made details and offered for charity.
At a glance
- The first production Ferrari Luce, identified as Chassis 0, will be offered at RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale.
- The one-off electric Ferrari features a Madreperla Semi-Gloss exterior, colour-matched wheels and a bespoke Tailor Made cabin.
- The car is offered with no reserve, an estimate above $1.1 million and proceeds benefiting the Ferrari Foundation.
Chassis 0 and Ferrari’s electric turning point
For collectors, Chassis 0 is the sort of designation that carries weight before the car even turns a wheel.
In this case, it marks Ferrari’s first production Luce and the brand’s first series-production electric vehicle, making it a natural marker in the company’s timeline.
The Luce also arrives with a four-door silhouette, a format that gives this electric Ferrari a different presence from the mid-engined and front-engined icons that have shaped the marque’s modern image.
That shift is part of what makes this car significant. It isn’t only about electrification, but about Ferrari defining what an electric grand touring shape can look like under its own badge.
A one-off Tailor Made treatment
This particular Luce has been specified to stand apart from future production cars.
The exterior is finished in Madreperla Semi-Gloss, a pearl-toned treatment that should give the bodywork a softer, more architectural look than a conventional gloss paint.
Ferrari has paired the finish with bespoke colour-matched wheels and unique brake calipers, keeping the car’s details tightly tied to the exterior theme.
Inside, the Tailor Made work continues with Le Mans metallic leather in Perla and subtle Grigio Corvara accents.
A dedicated plaque identifies the car as Ferrari’s first series-production electric car, a small but important detail for the bidder who wants the significance documented inside the cabin as well as on the chassis record.
Monterey sale with a charitable purpose
The Luce will cross the block at RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale with no reserve, which gives the auction a clean sense of theatre.
Its estimate already sits above $1.1 million, a figure that reflects both its one-off specification and its place as the first step in Ferrari’s electric production story.
Every dollar raised will go to the Ferrari Foundation, with the proceeds supporting future educational initiatives.
That charitable angle adds another dimension to the car’s appeal, particularly for collectors who see milestone Ferraris as cultural objects as much as machines.
