- As it turns out, even an aftermarket body kit doesn’t do the Luce any favors.
- This kit from Venuum includes a host of exposed carbon fiber accents.
- Key features added include a new splitter, a fixed rear wing, and a diffuser.
There is a question worth asking before anyone reaches for the carbon fiber, which is whether the new Ferrari Luce EV can be saved at all. We have our doubts. But the aftermarket, never one to wait for permission, has already started sketching out ways to rework the design of Ferrari’s controversial five-seater.
These renderings come from Venuum, a tuner based in the UAE that sells a wide selection of bodykits for exotic cars, including the likes of the Ferrari Purosangue, Rolls-Royce Wraith, and soon, will unveil a widebody Bugatti Chiron. In transforming the new Luce, they’ve imagined it with a slew of new body panels, and while it looks aggressive, it better resembles a riced-out Japanese sedan than a car fitting of the Ferrari badge.

Modifications start at the front where Venuum has crafted a carbon fiber splitter for the EV as well as a pair of carbon fiber canards. It also sports flared front wheel arches and rock a set of carbon side skirts. The odd air outlets on the front doors have also been finished in carbon for that true aftermarket look.
The rear isn’t that much better looking either. In addition to the flared arches, Venuum has added a fixed rear wing and an aggressive rear diffuser, also made from carbon fiber.
From Bad To Worse
It’s unclear if Venuum plans to release a kit for the Luce which looks exactly like this, although it’s seemingly inevitable that it, as well as numerous other aftermarket specialists, will release kits for the car, aimed at making it look a little more like a Ferrari should. Will any of these kits actually make the five-seat EV look Italian, rather than something even the Chinese wouldn’t dare to copy? We shall see.
For now, the conversation around the Luce’s design runs overwhelmingly negative. Ferrari had better hope the interior and the way the thing drives are persuasive enough to put people in the seats.
