Its ugly and not fast for its class, even compared to much cheaper cars.

That's a paradigm shift for Ferrari which has always been associated with exclusive performance and beauty - and the removal of that USP is why it is seeing such pushback.

0-60 in 2.5s — faster than a GT3RS, but slower than a 911 turbo S. I guess for north of half a million, you should be able to keep up with the german top dog.
It’s 0.4 seconds faster than a 50K Model 3 performance.

At that point, does it even matter

Pure acceleration is not everything, especially on track. But I guess a Model S Plaid (RIP) would beat easily a Luce.
It's acceleration by itself isn't noteworthy for it's class but it's a Ferrari and they don't really half ass these things. I'm sure it handles amazingly.

Same reason why people buy Porche SUVs instead of 700hp Grand Cherokees (it's a fucking shame they never tossed that engine in the Journey though) or Corvettes instead of Chargers.
