Yeah definitely, like if Audemars Piguet released watches that didn’t look like an Audemars Piguet they’d definitely get a similar reaction from similar clientele.
That was in the 80s when everything was angular. Lamborghini kept that going while Ferrari trended toward pointed front bumpers, rolling curves, and a bigger back end. The quintessential Ferrari is the 2002 Enzo Ferrari and this borrows non of the design elements from that.
Don’t get me wrong, I actually don’t mind the design of the Ferrari Red Luce. The other colors look horrendous for some reason, but the red works for me. If I were nitpicking though, I think they could have slimmed down the chassis, gave the front end a bit more aggressive point, and reworked the back end to not look so flat. The designer is a former Apple guy and I think it shows. Purists would have wanted something bold to showcase a new era for Ferrari I think.
I feel like this what a more finished design of the cybertruck could have been. Personally, I like the sharp angles and strong lines on this car (to clarify, the cybertruck is fugly and has no redeeming qualities) and hope we see more of this style in the future.
Its growing on me. And the rims as an old GenX’er didn’t Vector have a set like that w/ the Bi-Turbo/Twin Turbo? I like the “Jet Turbine” look of them.
.
But I can see why an EV Ferrari would get backlash from the purists. Its not a traditional ICE race car. That said I see racing going to EV as the torque is insane on electric. We are already seeing it in drag bikes
.
Another prediction on EVs, their charging bottle neck will be filled by standardized batteries that can be removed by a robot.

Like a car wash you pull up, a clanker comes up from the floor and removes your batteries. They go into inventory to charge and can be cell by cell inspected and charged batteries are installed. 10 minutes TOPS.

This fixes recycling and repair. I’m sure I’m not the first to think of this, but its going to happen.

Oh and your correct this looks NOTHING like a Ferrari, I mean not even “Ferrari Red®”???
Your battery take won’t come to fruition any time soon in the consumer market. Commercial trucking and such I can see, but consumers value interior space and standardizing a battery limits what you can do with the interior. Automakers would never pigeonhole themselves like that. Look at the cellphone and laptop market and their batteries.

I totally agree. It looks like a startup made a concept of a vehicle in a movie. It’s not ugly by any means ugly but when I see a Ferrari I KNOW it’s a Ferrari. Same way with a McLaren or a Lamborghini.
I don’t even think it looks that bad, it just doesn’t look like a Ferrari
I imagine that’s the issue, that it does in fact not look like a Ferrari, when it is supposed to be a Ferrari.

No doubt!
I saw an image edit with a Toyota Prius badge and I legit liked it
Hyundai’s Ioniq Venus concept actually kind of looks like if Ferrari designed a Prius
That’s kinda neat looking honestly.
Front end looks very Lamborghini to me.
Tbh I don’t know high-end cars well enough to tell the difference. I thought some of the older Ferrari designs had that angular front, though?

Honestly, too many Cybertruck vibes for my taste. Maybe it’s better from other angles

This is already being done in China.
