car, developed in collaboration with former Apple design chief Jony Ive, ha
has sparked a heated debate about the brand's identity. As a result, shares
shares plummeted by 8.4% in Milan and 5.1% in New York.

The Luce's unconventional design has been pilloried on social media, with m
many users questioning whether it remains true to Ferrari's iconic style. E
Even Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini weighed in, asking what E
Enzo Ferrari would say about the new model. The car's unusual look has left
left many wondering if this is indeed innovation or a departure from the br
brand's heritage.

Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, a former Ferrari executive, has gone so far as
as to call the Luce a betrayal of the company's history. He hopes that Fe
Ferrari will remove the prancing horse logo from the car, highlighting conc
concerns over brand identity.
