Journalist on the Wall Street Journal's European Business, Finance & Economics desk in London. Usually found writing about aviation and aerospace--but not exclusively. First formal job was as intern at my hometown broadsheet, The Cape Times. Later moved to the U.K. where I spent 5+ years at Bloomberg News with the Transport team. Been writing for WSJ since late 2019.

フェラーリ初のEV、デザインに批判噴出 会社は強気

| The Wall Street Journal (Japan)
イタリアの高級スポーツカーメーカー、フェラーリの幹部らは、同社初の電気自動車（EV）に批判的な声が上がることは分かっていた。ただ、これほど激しく批判されるとは思っていなかったかもしれない。 同社は今週、待望の完全EV「ルーチェ」を発表したが、それ以降、同車は全面的な批判にさらされている。米アップルの主要製品を手がけたデザイナーらによる、広々としたガラスルーフのデザインは、55万ユーロ（64万ドル、約1億円）という価格と、他のはるかに安価なEV（大衆向けの日産リーフなど）との類似性を理由に嘲笑されている。 Copyright ©2026 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
