Ferrari Luce by Venuum Black shows aggressive EV makeover

Well, this was inevitable. And honestly? It works better than expected.

The Ferrari Luce has barely arrived, and the first more aggressive reinterpretation is already here. This one comes from Venuum Black, and after seeing the renders, the idea becomes very clear: take Ferrari’s controversial electric grand tourer and make it look like it finally got angry.

The original Luce design has received plenty of criticism. Too soft. Too strange. Too far removed from what many people emotionally expect from Ferrari. Add the wider market reaction and the nervousness around Ferrari’s electric direction, and you get a car that was always going to become a playground for designers, tuners and visual specialists.

The Luce gets its dark side

The Venuum Black version completely changes the attitude of the car. The smooth, almost architectural shape of the standard Ferrari Luce is still there, but now it sits lower, wider and meaner. The matte black finish gives the body a darker, more sinister presence, while the carbon aero package adds much-needed aggression.

At the front, the slimmer light signature and blacked-out mask feel more focused. The deeper front splitter, large intakes and exposed carbon details make the car look less like a futuristic design object and more like something that wants to move air violently.

From the side, the transformation is even stronger. The wide arches, black multi-spoke wheels, yellow brake calipers, side skirts and carbon details give the Luce a more grounded, almost shooting-brake-meets-GT-racer stance.

And then there is the rear. A huge fixed wing, aggressive diffuser, blacked-out tail section and round Ferrari-style rear lights suddenly give the car the drama many people felt was missing.

A difficult base makes the challenge more interesting

Venuum Black itself hinted at the fact that the base platform was not the easiest one to work with. The Luce is not a classic front-engined Ferrari. It is not a mid-engined supercar. It is not a Purosangue either. Its proportions are unusual, its roofline is long, its surfaces are clean and its design language is deliberately different.

A predictable Ferrari is easy to modify. A controversial Ferrari is where the real design work begins. And here, the transformation shows that the Luce may have more potential than people first thought. The shape can take aggression. It can handle a darker treatment. It can survive carbon aero, big wheels and a wing without immediately looking ridiculous.

Who comes next: Novitec, Mansory or someone even wilder?

A car like the Ferrari Luce is almost guaranteed to attract the aftermarket world. Novitec feels like an obvious next chapter, because it knows how to sharpen modern Ferraris without completely losing the original design. Mansory feels equally inevitable, because if there is one company that loves an expensive, controversial, high-visibility Ferrari, it is Mansory.

But beyond the big names, the Luce could become a full design playground. Some will make it cleaner. Some will make it uglier. Some will make it insane. And that might be exactly what keeps the Luce relevant. Because love it or hate it, people are now reacting. They are editing it, debating it, modifying it and imagining what it could become.

AutoNext Take

The standard car is brave, but also difficult. It asks a lot from Ferrari fans. It asks them to accept silence instead of sound, a new shape instead of classic beauty, and technology instead of tradition.

But Venuum Black’s render proves something important: there is a more aggressive, more emotional Ferrari hiding inside the Luce. Maybe not the official version from Maranello, but a version that some customers will absolutely understand.
