The long-awaited Apple Car might have never seen the light of day, but the tech giant's vision now lives on through Ferrari's first electric vehicle.
Dubbed the Ferrari Luce, meaning 'light' in Italian, this ultra-high-end sports car features a stunning interior designed by ex-iPhone design boss Sir Jony Ive.
Sir Ive is arguably one of the most influential designers of the century, having shaped the look of Apple's most iconic products from the Mac to the iPhone.
And some of his signature features are clearly visible in the design of Ferrari's first-ever fully electric vehicle.
Keen Apple fans might be able to spot the design legend's unique touch in the shape and materials of the switches, steering wheel, and displays.
Sir Ive pioneered Apple's distinctive 'unibody' design, in which MacBooks came to be shaped from a single piece of aluminium.
Just like a MacBook or the latest iPhone, the Ferrari Luce's interior is carved from precision-milled chunks of anodised aluminium.
The car's control panel and shifter are even made of the exact same glass you would find on an iPhone - a specially hardened material called Gorilla Glass.

Jony Ive is the former vice president of design at Apple where he oversaw the creation of some of the worlds most iconic products, including the iPod, iPhone, and MacBook
Ferrari says that it has been collaborating with LoveFrom, a creative collective founded by designers Sir Jony Ive and Marc Newson, on 'every dimension' of the car's design.
Although Ferrari hasn't yet revealed the exterior of their first EV, those design influences are clear in the company's first sneak peek.
In a throwback to Apple's founding design principle, Ferrari says that every detail has been designed with functionality and the user's experience in mind.
The dashboard housing the speedometer and other instrumentation is mounted to the steering wheel so that they move together, ensuring the driver always has a clear view.
The displays look analogue but are actually extremely thin OLED displays that create bright, extremely clear graphics.
The shifter, meanwhile, is encased in clear, durable glass with a semi-matte finish that prevents smudging and fingerprints.
Apple fans might spot the similarities to some of Sir Ives boldest glass-based designs, such as the G4 Cube and Apple iSub speakers.
However, despite working with Sir Ive - dubbed the 'father of the touchscreen era' - Ferrari says it wants to challenge the idea that EVs 'must be dominated by large touchscreens'.

The only touchscreen in the new sports car is an iPad-sized control panel mounted on a ball socket so that it can pivot to face the driver or passenger
Unlike many Apple products, the Ferrari Luce features large physical switches, which are designed to be less distracting for the driver
A small iPad-like display, fitted onto a ball socket so that it can pivot to face the driver or passenger, is the only touchscreen interface.
In another nod to Sir Ive's design history, this screen is fitted with a tiny digital clock reminiscent of the Apple Watch.
Even this has been designed with Sir Ive's signature attention to ergonomics.
The touchscreen is mounted on a small palm rest so that the driver can rest their hand on the display and tap the controls without looking.
Ferrari says that the aim is to reduce the drivers 'cognitive load' so that they spend less time distracted by the settings and controls and are more attentive to driving.
This is not only a nifty design choice,but also a potentially lifesaving concession to safety.
Recent studies have shown that large touch-screen interfaces can be as distracting as using a mobile phone while driving.
By pulling the drivers away from the road, screens like those in the Tesla Model Y can lead to fatal collisions.
Just like Jony Ive's signature 'unibody' design for the MacBook, the Luce's steering wheel is made of anodised aluminium.
There is also an overhead panel with switches to control the lights, demister and launch settings.
Ferrari, on the other hand, claims that the Luce's small touchscreen can be used 'effortlessly and intuitively without looking'.
Perhaps the biggest departure from Sir Ive's Apple legacy is the number of physical controls in the Ferrari Luce.
While Apple famously ditched as many buttons as possible from their devices to create smooth, simple shapes, the Luce has moved in the opposite direction.
The steering wheel and control panel are dotted with large, metal dials, switches and buttons.
There is even a large overhead panel near the rearview mirror with switches to operate the fog lights, demisters, and launch controls.
For now, Ferrari is remaining tight-lipped about the final details of the Luce, with key details such as the engine, battery capacity, and exterior design still a mystery.
That means motoring and Apple fans alike will need to wait until May for Ferrari to reveal the finished product.
