Ferrari unveils LaFerrari: strange name
After hypothetical names such as Ferrari F70 or F150, the replacement for the mythical Enzo is finally called LaFerrari.
It seems odd to call a Ferrari LaFerrari. The name sounds a little off to my ears. Personally, I would have chosen Enzo II or even F70.
Be that as it may, it is still an outstanding car benefitting from the latest wind tunnel results and a direct result of all those years of F1 experience at the Scuderia.
Thanks to its carbon fibre structure, the two-seater weighs a mere 1370 kg.
963 Horsepower Hybrid.
Yes, this superb exotic is a hybrid using the Hy-Kers propulsion system combining an 800 horsepower 6.2l V12 with a 163 horsepower electric motor.
Total power reaches 963 horsepower.
The only transmission offered is the automated F1-type, double clutch seven-speed gearbox.
