Four features from the Ferrari Luce that scream Apple Design.
Jony Ive's LoveFrom Design Studio was hired by Ferrari to work on the internal design of Ferrari's new all-electric Ferrari Luce, and there are some unmistakable Apple-like design features that are hidden throughout the design.
1. The Rounded Rectangle
The Rounded Rectangle has received proper noun status, being the symbol for the current day iPhone that started it all, and has trickled down from iPhone, to iPad, to Apple Watch. The most obvious place you notice the Rounded Rectangle is in the center control panel.
2. The Ferrari Key
All exotic cars have special key fobs, and this Ferrari is no exception. Apple fans will appreciate the lock and unlock logo that are very similar to Apple's privacy lock. Most standard cars' "unlock" button is kinked open, but Apple's open lock has always been turned outwards, mimicked in the Ferrari Luce.
3. Air Conditioning vents
This is the most obvious design similarity - they are literal copies of Apple's MagSafe charging pucks. Copying might be a harsh word since many of Jony Ive's team might have been the ones who designed the MagSafe charger to begin with. The MagSafe AC vent does look good.
4. Steering wheel colors
Most Ferraris let you choose the steering wheel leather color, but on the Luce, you can choose the color of the "aluminium" steering wheel. The colors themselves mimic Apple's Silver, Starlight, and Space Gray options.
