Ferrari Unveils 986-hp CZ26 One-Off as Luce EV Design Spreads to SF90 Hybrid

Summary

  • Monterey Car Week brought Ferrari’s new CZ26, a one-off for a U.S. client that wraps Luce-inspired styling around the SF90 Stradale’s unchanged plug-in-hybrid underpinnings.
  • 986 hp still comes from the SF90 setup — a 3,990cc twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors — with a 7.9-kWh battery, 25 km electric range, 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and 328 km/h top speed.
  • Ferrari Design Studio under Flavio Manzoni reshaped everything above the hard points, adding a two-box silhouette, concealed slim lighting, revised cooling ducts, a new spoiler and diffuser, and Argento Veloce paint.
  • The front end closely echoes the Luce, Ferrari’s first EV, signaling the company is keeping that design language despite criticism that followed the May reveal.
  • That backlash did not dent demand: Ferrari sold the roughly 500-unit 2026 Luce allocation at about €550,000 in under two months, while Special Projects one-offs typically take about two years to complete.
