As Close to an Apple Car as We're Going to Get

Andrew J. Hawkins, for The Verge: Ferrari’s first EV is a four-door sedan designed with LoveFrom — Jony Ive’s shop — and it reads like the ghost of Project Titan with a prancing horse badge.

The purists are furious. The Magic Mouse comparisons are unfair but not insane. I don’t care about any of that. Tim Cook killed the Apple car years ago; what shipped in Rome is the industrial-design fantasy without the supply-chain nightmare. Rounded glass house, ball-joint display, a interior that still has actual knobs because even Ive knows touch-only was a phase.

It’s not a Ferrari in the Enzo sense. It’s the closest thing to an Apple car we’re likely to see — and it costs six hundred forty thousand dollars, which is also very on-brand.
