Ferrari is reportedly using its first-ever EV, the truly ugly Luce, as a loyalty test inside its highly coveted allocation system. Ferrari's allocation system is a notoriously exclusive, invitation-only process managed by the factory in Maranello. Ferrari curates ownership by evaluating a buyer's loyalty to the brand, requiring customers to build a multi-million-dollar history of ownership, participate in factory events, and retain cars in order to qualify to buy hypercars off the production line. Now the only way to stay on Ferrari's preferred client list is to buy the PoS Ferrari Luce EV.
The car here is real, and its the Ferrari Luce. (pronounced “loo-chey”, Italian for “light”) Its a five-seat electric vehicle with lots of Ferrari badges. Reviews for the I-Phone looking crossover-ish electric Ferrari aren't good. With a starting price of about $640k for horrendus looks and 280 miles of range, the Luce EV isn't for everybody.
The vehicle is no slouch. It can hit 60 mph in around 2.5 seconds onto a top speed of 192 mph.

The De Tomaso Pantera is a mid-engine sports car produced by Italian automobile manufacturer De Tomaso from 1971 to 1992. Italian for "Panther", the Pantera was the automaker's most popular model, with over 7,000 manufactured over its twenty-year production run. More than three quarters were sold by American Lincoln-Mercury dealers from 1972 to 1975. The first 1971 Pantera models were powered by a 5.8 L (351 cu in) Ford Cleveland V8 engine having a power output of 330 hp. The high torque provided by the Ford engine reduced the need for excessive gear changing at low speeds.
Late in 1971, Ford began importing the Pantera for the American market to be sold through its Lincoln-Mercury dealers. The first 75 cars were simply European imports and are known for their "push-button" door handles and hand-built Carrozzeria Vignale bodies. A total of 1,007 cars reached the United States that year. Hagerty suggests a concours 1971 DeTomaso Pantera is trending around $120k. This example appeared at Mecum.
Among the most hated is the 1978 Ford Mustang II King Cobra. It was a limited edition version with 4,313 units produced. The King Cobra was available only with the V8 to help bolster the car's 'performance image'. To make up for the enemic 130 horsepower of the 302, Ford went the “paint and tape-stripe” route. They called it King Cobra and it was a PoS. The Mustang II owes its roots to the Ford Pinto, and it showed.
Ironically, the only thing the Mustang II King Cobra was king of was price. A King Cobra cost about $6,350, an insane sum in 1978. When new, a stock King Cobra wheezed its way to 60 mph in 11.2 seconds. It didn’t fare better in the quarter-mile with an elapsed time of 16.59 seconds at 82 mph.
The REO SpeedWagon revolutionized trucks in the 1920’s. Built by Ransom E Olds, the man who started Oldsmobile, REO made cars and trucks from the early 1900s to the mid 1950’s. REO trucks were faster than other commercial vehicles, giving rise to ‘Speed Wagon’.
