The successor to the Enzo and a car Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo says "defines excellent" has finally been unveiled today at the Geneva Motor Show.

The first Ferrari road car in history to be powered by a gasoline-electric system, it uses what Ferrari calls HY-KERS. Making 789 hp from its 6.3-liter V12 engine and revving to 9250 rpm, when mated to the electric boost of 161 hp total system output is 950 hp.

As for performance stats, Ferrari claims a 0-62 mph time of under 3.0 seconds, 0-124 mph in under 7.0 seconds and finally a speed to 186 mph (300 km/h) of under 15 seconds – a solid two seconds faster than the McLaren P1. Unlike the McLaren, however, the LaFerrari will not be able to propel itself under pure electric power, which the British supercar can do for up to 10 miles.

As though there were any doubt, the LaFerrari is the fastest road-going car in the iconic brand's history, and boasts a lap time at the company's Fiorano track of under 1:20. That, says Ferrrari, is 3 seconds a lap faster than the F12 and an astonishing 5 seconds a lap faster than the Enzo.

Not one to hold back Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo commented that, "We chose to call this model LaFerrari because it is the maximum expression of what defines our company – excellence. Excellence in terms of technological innovation, performance, visionary styling and the sheer thrill of driving." Commenting that technologies found in the LaFerrari will find their way into the rest of the Ferrari lineup, he went a step further, boasting that the LaFerrari, "represents the benchmark for the entire automotive industry."

Wow très belle voiture j'Ai bien hâte de prendre cela en photos au Circuit du Mont-Tremblant cette été!
 
No thanks

Doesnt do shit all for me.

Horrible name.
Moving ground effects (yeah like that will ever make it in to a sanctioned gt1 race)
looks like a 458
horrrrrrrrible name!
carrera gt wheels.

almost as stupid as the venenon lamborghini.
 
ridiculous!! Ferrari always impresses

talk about having a choice of supercars...in the last 2 weeks there has been 3 or 4 unveils of some intense supercars
 
Front end is hideous, looks like one of those Mansory after market kits. Wheels look like they've been ripped off a 360 Modena. Headlights are from the F12/FF. Profile is nothing special. The ass is awesome. Interior is okay. Name sounds cool only if you're Italian and can pronounce it well.

6/10 for looks. Ferrari should have done better, they were able to produce some of the nicest cars ever, now their design is boring. Not very Italian.

The Enzo was a way better looking car. I'm sure the performance is going to be out of this world, but for styling ehh not so much.

360 Modena/Carrera GT wheels. Nothing special about the profile either.

..Ferrari’s first ever hybrid was launched today as the company proves that environmental technology can still provide the speed-seeking thrills of a supercar.
The new lightning-fast car called LaFerrari - or ‘The Ferrari’ – is the fastest car the company has ever built, and will have a £1million price tag.
It has an electric motor linked to a 6.3 litre petrol engine that propels it from rest to 62mph in under three seconds and to 124mph in under seven seconds.
With a top speed of 220mph, its lap time around Ferrari’s legendary Fiorano circuit is under 1 minute 20 seconds - 5 seconds faster than a Ferrari Enzo and more than 3 seconds faster than a the F12 Berlinetta.
The company said that LaFerrari, which made its world debut at today’s Geneva International Motor Show, is the fastest car in Maranello’s history and ‘the first hybrid in Ferrari history.’

‘All in all the car guarantees maximum driving thrills,’ said a Ferrari spokesman. ‘The LaFerrari’s body has been given a sculptural treatment heavily influenced by its aerodynamics.’
Built for thrills, LaFerrari emits 330 g/km of CO2, which though low by supercar standards, is still much higher than an average hybrid car.

The congestion charge exempt Toyota Prius costs £21,600 and has CO2 emissions are much lower at just 89g/km, it qualifies for exemption from the London congestion charge and does 72 miles to the gallon.

.To save weight the seats are fixed and moulded to the individual driver following a ‘bespoke fitting’.

There are no runners. Instead it is the pedals and steering wheel which are adjustable. So if you sell the car, Ferrari will have to mould a new bespoke seat for the new owner.
The driving position is similar to that of a single-seater F1 car and was designed after consultation with the Ferrari drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, who both played an active role throughout the entire development process.

Weight from the system is kept low and between the car’s two axles as close as possible to the floor to lower its centre of gravity by just over an inch to boost dynamic handling and help keep the car as compact as possible.
The chassis has four different types of carbon-fibre, all hand-laminated and cured in an oven in the racing department using the same design and production methods as the Formula 1 car.

The seats and the battery compartment were integrated into the chassis to improve the car’s rigidity and cut weight.

It is powered by Ferrari’s hybrid petrol-electric energy recovery system called ‘HY-KERS.’
The powerful 6.3 litre V12 800 horse-power engine is coupled with a 120 Kw electric motor with power equivalent to about 40 electric kettles, as much horsepower as a family saloon.
Together this gives the LaFerrari a combined power output of 963 horsepower – equivalent to nearly ten Ford Fiestas - to drive the wheels.
The electric motor is coupled with the F1 derived dual-clutch gearbox so that power is instantly available to the wheels during acceleration and from the wheels to the electric motor during recharging.

A computerised engine management system controls the relative flow of petrol and electric power.
A second electric motor powers ancillaries such as air conditioning. The thin battery pack weighing 60kg covers most of the cabin under-floor area and is attached to the chassis beneath the driver and passenger to keep the centre of gravity low.
The batteries are charged in two different ways. Firstly energy generated from braking is collected.
Secondly energy is collected every time the engine produces more torque or ‘puling power’ than is needed - such as in cornering. Instead of being sent to the wheels, the excess power is converted to energy and stored in the batteries.

An aerodynamic guide vane on the rear spoiler generates downforce to keep the car gripping the road – and prevent it taking flight. An on board computer electronically measures the car and the driver’s actions to optimise performance.

if that car has the equivalent of 10 ford fiesta's then my car has the equivalent of 90 lawn mowers.:rolleyes:

Yeah the car looks nice but nowhere near the "outrageous" SUPERCAR look of the enzo, f50, f40. This could've easily passed as a typical next gen Ferrari.

Even after 10 years, the enzo still stands out in terms of design.

With that said, think it still looks beautiful.
