Horrible. I don't care if it was designed by Armani in his deathbed or Jony Ive himself. It's just horrible. The flat sides, not even reminiscence of the testarossa glorious days. Worse than the tesla truck and that's in the lowest levels of design.
Be careful not to take the Jaguar road for there is no coming back.
- bmitc 5mo agoOh, this is actually designed by Ive? It all makes sense now. He is a joke of a designer. I had thought people had stopped giving him work. This car has absolutely ZERO life to it for any manufacturer, much less a Ferrari.
- smotched 5mo agoI believe he only designed the interior
- panos_news 5mo ago"In a genius move, they hired design agency LoveFrom to handle the exterior and interior execution: that’s headed by former Apple chief design officer, Sir Jonathan Ive."
- fps-hero 5mo agoWell, we finally got to find out what an Apple car would have looked like.
- F7F7F7 5mo agoHis firm did the entire car. Inside and outside.
- simondotau 5mo agoIt’s another 24 carat gold Apple Watch. Makes sense in the design studio, if you have some insane blinkers on when it comes to how people associate with and interact with products in the real world.
- crorella 5mo agoI had the same visceral reaction lol, so ugly.
- tim333 5mo agoThe front overhang thing looks really weird.
- MrBuddyCasino 5mo agoThey made a Ferrari look asian. If it actually sells in China I‘m gonna be so mad.
- anonym00se1 5mo agoIt looks like a car by someone who used to design consumer electronics and spent only a cursory amount of time understanding automotive history, design, aesthetics, etc. Long live the Ivesmobile.
- bombcar 5mo agoThis is the Apple Car. Now we know what it would have looked like.
- anonym00se1 5mo agoAnd now we know why Steve Zadesky left the Titan program and why the Titan program was ultimately shut down. Ive has no idea how to design a car.
- komali2 5mo agoIt doesn't matter if it's ugly, it doesn't matter that the cyber truck is ugly, it doesn't matter if either are good cars. I spotted probably the only cybertruck in Taiwan the other day. It was waiting to turn on a busy road, and people were jogging over to take a picture of it. "Woah cool! Awesome! Handsome!" Lots of stuff like that being said. People share ai slop cat pictures on Facebook. There's HN commenters, there's the subset of HN commenters smugly criticizing all the very obvious flaws of things like this... And then there's just the entire rest of the world which simply does not give a shit.
- __m 5mo agosubset of hn commenters? The cybertruck is widely ridiculed, also in taiwan.
- King-Aaron 5mo agoI have this observation with the influx of soulless SUVs on the road. Every car group you see are always screaming out for manual, rear drive sports cars at an affordable price, but the majority of consumers just want a cube of car that has wheels and can go places. And they buy a new cube every year or two to keep up with the Joneses. Everyone then complains that the automakers aren't making what they want... But the blame isn't with the manufacturers, the blame rests with consumers and how mindlessly apathetic they are to... basically everything.

- stackghost 5mo agoButtons for turn signals. Yuck. God, Jony Ive is such an insufferable person.
- solenoid0937 5mo agoI think you simply haven't seen the light. Here, perhaps his $4800 lantern can help: https://www.balmuda.com/lovefrom-balmuda/ https://www.balmuda.com/lovefrom-balmuda/
- qingcharles 5mo agoThe hell..! I honestly like Ive as a designer, but dear lord.
- ragazzina 5mo agoThe lanyard is.. plastic. They could have said it uses the most exquisite handwoven linen (this thing is never seeing seawater anyway) and they chose polyester.
- pbalau 5mo ago> this thing is never seeing seawater anyway I can definitely see these used as lighting devices on luxury boats.
- gpderetta 5mo agoHaven't Ferrari used buttons for turn signals for a while?
- stackghost 5mo agoNot sure. I've been in a few Ferraris and they all had regular stalks. It's possible that those buttons are not Jony Ive's doing, but I still find him insufferably pompous.

- niobe 5mo agoIn software we have an enshittification problem. In industrial design we have a generification problem.
- Mistletoe 5mo agoI’m so relieved to see this is the top comment. I was afraid I was going to see HN people saying how great this monstrosity looks.
- qingcharles 5mo ago$600K Ferrari Luce vs. $35K Nissan Leaf: Spot the difference... https://imgur.com/a/fsvO5G8 https://imgur.com/a/fsvO5G8
- amarant 5mo agoI do think the Luce looks a little bit better in that comparison, but I think that is also at least partially due to the photographer being way better. The black parts at the bottom of the Ferrari like like a shadow in that photo, whereas on the nissan it looks like black plastic. But I'm pretty sure that's a trick of the light more than anything.
- asgraham 5mo agoMy first impression when the Leaf image loaded was that you were being overdramatic. The Ferrari website created the impression of a similar but fundamentally more elegant car (not elegant, just more elegant). Then the Ferrari image loaded. Wow. It really is a game of spot the difference. A difficult game. edit: I don't want to reduce hypercars purely to their "Wow!" factor, but a huge huge part of their value is definitely the feeling they evoke when you see one out of the corner of your eye and your head snaps around. This Leaf/Luce side-profile similarity is completely antithetical to that "Wow!" factor.
- shinycode 5mo agoOnly the color is similar. Nothing else is otherwise you’ll start putting many cars in the same basket
- gpderetta 5mo agoI wouldn't say it is pretty, but to me it looks nicer on this picture than on the Ferrari website. It is a very generic shape for sure!
- cousin_it 5mo agoHuh? I know nothing about cars, but to me there's an obvious difference. If I saw the top car in the street, I'd say "wow that's nice"; while the bottom one just looks like a regular car. The top one looks like it went to the gym, the bottom one looks like it was puffed up through a straw. Idk if that justifies a 20x price difference, but that's my immediate reaction.
