Nissan appreciated the similarity of the new Ferrari electric car with the Leaf model

Nissan appreciated the similarity of the new Ferrari Luce electric car with its latest generation Leaf electric car. The Irish division of Nissan posted on Facebook (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia) a post with a picture of two electric cars in profile and thanked the Italian manufacturer.

"They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. So thank you, Ferrari," the Nissan representatives wrote.

In the comments to the publication, one of the most popular was the statement that this Nissan Leaf is better than the new Ferrari. For comparison, the new Leaf costs about €35 thousand in Europe, while the preliminary price of the Luce starts at €520 thousand.

The Ferrari Luce became the most discussed car on the Web at the end of May and received a barrage of criticism from fans of the brand, which was even joined by former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport of Italy Matteo Salvini.

Mog and Luce: why Ferrari's first electric car is being criticized

The premiere of the first ever Italian manufacturer of electric supercars turned into a fall in shares

The LoveFrom studio, created by Apple natives Johnny Ive and Marc Newson, was responsible for the design of Luce, the first electric car in the history of Ferrari. The electric car received a power plant with four electric motors that develop a total of 1,050 hp and accelerate the novelty from a standstill to the first "hundred" in 2.5 seconds, and to the second in 6.8 seconds. The presentation of the model took place on May 26, after which the shares of Ferrari fell by almost 8%.
