Ferrari Luce vs. Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door: Which Super EV Gets the Future Right?
The Ferrari Luce and Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe are epochal first production EVs from their brands. Both are all-wheel-drive four-doors with over 1,000 hp, 800-volt architecture, and complex software. The Luce uses a four-motor in-house powertrain (1,035 hp, 730 lb-ft), while the AMG uses three axial-flow motors (1,153 hp, 1,475 lb-ft). The AMG is quicker 0-60 mph (2.0 vs 2.4 seconds) but the Ferrari has a higher top speed (193 vs 186 mph). The Ferrari is lighter (4,982 vs 5,423 lbs) with better weight distribution and superior torque vectoring. The AMG offers more range (370-430 vs 330 miles WLTP) and faster charging (11 vs 20 minutes to 80%). The Luce’s design is a radical cab-forward sedan with a quiet luxury interior; the AMG is an extroverted techno-muscle car with digitized V-8 sounds and fake gearshifts. Both represent version 2.0 of electric performance vehicles, offering more character and driver involvement than first-generation EVs.
