debut EV had pretty much every corner of the web locked in ferocious debate.

The car, which features both an interior and exterior penned by iPhone designer Sir Jony Ives LoveFrom outfit , was met with a maelstrom of abuse online, with the Ferrari faithful panning its bulbous looks, laughing off the $640,000 price tag, and poking holes in the relatively measly 329-mile range. Nissans North American social media accounts even pointed out that it looked
a lot like the new Leaf (before hastily taking the posts down ), while, more concerningly, Ferrari's stock price took a major hit. Latest Videos From

A photo posted by on Now that the dust has settled, one aftermarket tuner based in the United Arab Emirates has taken the time to painstakingly render what it feels the Luce could look like after being fitted with an aggressive carbon splitter, a fixed rear wing, and an enormous diffuser.

All of these elements are often found on Ferraris high-performance track
cars, and Venuum claims that within just a few hours we created a much bolder and more radical vision for this Ferrari.

Theres no word on whether the tuning firm plans to eventually create a body kit for the Luce. At the same time, Ferrari has a fearsome reputation for coming down hard on customers who dare mod, tune, or mess with the Italian firms coveted designs, so maybe it's best left as a bit of fun.

Analysis: the design
is off (Image credit: Ferrari) Venuum isnt the only outfit to start tweaking Ferraris divisive designs, as many visual artists have taken to social media to show off their interpretations, often resulting in a much lower, longer, and more aggressive Luce.

But therein lies the problem with Ferraris first foray into pure EV, as the Luces dimensions are simply too dumpy, too aerodynamically informed and, dare we say it, too homogenous ever to be held in the same regard as something
like the 458, the F50 and even the Purosangue, which at least wears its SUV styling with pride.

A photo posted by on Ferraris current boss, Benedetto Vigna, has defended the decision to opt for something wildly different, telling Reuters that there is "strong interest, including from new clients.

"Weve already received bank transfers, clients who were there want it," he added.

However, the Italian marques outgoing CEO said that the EV risked destroying
a legend during one particularly fiery outburst, adding that the company
could at least remove the prancing horse. Ouch. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
