MARANELLO, Italy — Chaos erupted on the test track today as a driver was seen frantically swiping a perfectly smooth, buttonless white dashboard trying to find the ‘brake’ gesture while Jony Ive’s disembodied voice whispered ‘simplify.’ The incident occurred during the first drive of the new Ferrari Luce.

“We realized that physical pedals are visual pollution,” said Giovanni Rossi, VP of Aesthetic Purity. “The Luce, which means ‘light’ in Italian, removes heavy things like door handles and brakes. Now, to stop the vehicle, you simply draw a perfect circle on the console while thinking calm thoughts.”

“The user interface is intuitive once you memorize the 400 gestures,” explained Lead Designer Sarah Smith. “One driver tried to turn on the wipers but accidentally engaged the passenger ejection seat because his swipe was too aggressive. This teaches the driver to be gentle.” Smith noted that the steering wheel has been replaced by a ‘suggestion pad’ where you hint at where you want to go.

At press time, Ferrari announced the 2027 model will remove the windshield to provide a more seamless connection between the driver’s face and the bugs.
