At the recent Geneva motor show, Ferrari unveiled the LaFerrari supercar. This 963-horsepower hybrid is the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive Ferrari model to date. The car’s name, which means “the Ferrari” in Italian, was chosen to underline how this brand’s latest creation surpasses all the other models that have been designed in the prestigious factory in Maranello, Italy. LaFerrari is a worthy successor to the legendary Enzo. As far as power is concerned, it has no reason to be envious of its famous ancestor; its mid-rear-positionedV-12 6.3-litre engine produces some 800 horsepower. But the work of the Ferrari design magicians doesn’t stop there, as for the first time in history engineers have addeda 163-horsepower electric motor. Baptized “Hy- Kers”, this hybrid develops a combined power of 963 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. The rear wheels are powered by a seven-gear dual-clutch gear box. It goes without saying that the performance of this supercar is amazing. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h in under 7 seconds, and from 0 to 300 km/h in a touch over 15 seconds. That’s right — the top speed is over 350 km/h! In fact, Ferrari is claiming that this machine is five seconds faster than the Enzo around its home racetrack in Fiorano. Apart from its amazing power, LaFerrari displays incredible aerodynamics and lightness. Just as with its siblings, the Enzo, F40, and 288 GTO, LaFerrari will be produced in limited numbers. Only 499 cars will be distributed around the globe, and every one of them is already sold. Question: how much do you think those buyers are ready to spend to add this dream car to their collections? Answer: $1.6 million!
