LaFerrari - The Exception to Tradition

Like the Enzo, the scissor doors are their small effect

After ten years of absence, Ferrari returned to the small niche supercars. With a model that looks worthy of his illustrious ancestors colossal power, high technology and offer a spectacular line menu three stars Lucky 499.

Not modest for a penny, Maranello's latest creation does not even first name: it is simply called LaFerrari in French in the text and in one word.
A way of saying that this newcomer outperforms all its ancestors. Side power impossible to prove him wrong. Here installed rear center position, the V12 6.3 already develops 800 hp, 60 hp more than in F12, despite an unchanged displacement. Unheard of for an atmospheric road block, and the 129 hp / l are equally impressive, as the maximum speed of 9250 r / min. But the Scuderia did not stop there. For the first time in its existence, it adds an electric motor of 163 hp to the recipe. Called HY-KERS, this powertrain drives the rear wheels via a dual clutch seven-speed, and develops 963 hp in total.

The steering wheel seems straight ou

Pile it takes to outdo the "meager" 916 hp the new McLaren P1, another star of the show in Geneva. However, the rival side torque are at par with their 900 Nm A priori, it is not yet sufficient to debunk a Bugatti Veyron. Except LaFerrari is much lighter than the Alsatian. Despite being overweight of approximately 150 kg generated by the battery and two electric motors (one for propulsion and the other for power auxiliary) hybrid system, it would not be heavier than its predecessor, the Enzo 2002. The balance should show less than 1,400 kilograms. Composed of four different types of fiber, carbon chassis is no stranger to this. In ten years, consumption has also greatly diminished, even if the 330 g CO2 per km rejected are not entitled to a tax bonus. It is however far from McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder, because this Italian dispenses with 100% electric mode and charging on the sector.

The wing maintains modest dimensions,

The performance will entice more of a fan of drag. 0 to 100 km / h in less than 3 seconds, 0 to 200 km / h in less than 7 seconds, 0 to 300 km in 15 s ... the acceleration figures remind the P1 again. Unlike speed, able here surpass the 350 km / h. Another feat on home track of Fiorano, LaFerrari be five seconds faster than the Enzo. Progress is not only due to the gain of 303 hp. Signed by the Centro Stile of the brand, not Pininfarina, the carbon body looks more rigid and aerodynamic than ever before with his blade, a retractable spoiler and gills sophisticated effect. The fifth supercar Ferrari's history seems to have all the arguments to satisfy its 499 buyers who had to pay 1.2 million euros to add this gem to their collection.
