Ferrari's electric Luce divides fans as rare Daytona Spider heads to auction

Ferrari’s modern and historic models are drawing attention for sharply different reasons, from the controversial Luce electric vehicle to highly valued classic convertibles and relatively accessible used cars. The Luce, Ferrari’s first EV, has already met its first-year sales target despite divided reactions to its design, while Vossen renderings suggest that aftermarket wheels, a lowered stance and aggressive aerodynamic parts could give it a more distinctive appearance; deliveries are expected to begin in Europe before expanding to other markets. Meanwhile, a red 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider is heading to Gooding Christie’s 2026 Rétromobile New York auction, where its status as one of just 122 factory-built Spiders could support a price in the multimillion-dollar range. The Daytona Spider’s rarity and provenance make it far more valuable than comparable Berlinetta coupes, though buyers must verify that a convertible is factory-built rather than a later conversion. For enthusiasts seeking a lower-cost entry into Ferrari ownership, the mid-engine 360 has become a relative bargain, with its improved usability, lighter construction and stronger V8 performance failing to translate into the resale values commanded by other modern Ferraris.
