These Ferrari x Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are straight out of the pit lane. To gear up for Miami Race Week, the three giants in their own right have merged into the Formula 1 lane to create these collectors’ shades.

Only 1,000 pairs of the limited-edition eyewear have been made. They’re built with an apt, sleek ‘Shiny Garage Blue’ frame to mirror the iconic Scuderia Ferrari colors, and come complete with the racing division’s iconic shield logo on the temple.

More than just a lovely stylish addition to the wardrobes of speed demons, the Ferrari smart glasses pack the latest Meta tech, including a high-resolution, 12-megapixel camera for capturing race day moments and open-ear audio so you can stay connected without missing the roar of the engines. They also integrate with video calls on WhatsApp and Messenger.
Hands-free control is achieved through the “Hey Meta” voice assistant, allowing users to interact with the glasses using simple voice commands. Meta AI adds another layer of functionality, offering object identification, on-the-fly text translation, and real-time information retrieval—all wrapped into a chic aesthetic associated with Ray-Ban.

At US$499, these horsepowered shades come with a steeper price tag than standard Ray-Ban Metas. But with only a relatively small batch available, they’ll certainly have eager Scuderia Ferrari fanatics racing to stores.
