Ferrari Luce - Level 3

Ferrari has unveiled its first ever fully electric car. The luxury sports car maker showed the car to the world on Monday. It is called Luce, which means "light" in Italian. The new car is also the first five-seater vehicle produced by Ferrari. It is not cheap. Anyone wanting to buy one must have deep pockets, as it costs $640,000.
