WHAT ON EARTH?
The LaFerrari is Ferrari's first ever road going hybrid supercar which comes with a 6.3Litre V12 heart whipping 789bhp enough to tear through any piece of turmac in the goddamn world! Considering the company's pedigree of forever being one step over the parapet of legendary, they fit the LaFerrari with an electric motor whipping extra 160hp being cased to the rear wheels. Honestly, this is like a Slash-Skrillex mashup. Only a handful can tame the LaFerrari and get it upto speed, the rest just end up tasting grass or barriers.
To put these stats into perspective, the Enzo made 651hp , and this beast of a V12 alone is more powerful than sum total of cars in the whole of China. The petrol-electric drivetrain of the Porsche 918, which is claimed to be 'the main rival to the LaFerrari' is actually no match for the Hulk in Red when it comes to the outright torque this demonic angel can put to the ground and race past acres in a matter of seconds..
OKAY, HOW DOES IT CHARGE THO?
Like a raging bull strapped to a nuclear missile, knot-to-sixty comes in well under 3 seconds. If you think about it, 3 seconds isn't even enough time open your fly if you had to pee in a hurry. The acceleration is borderline painful, but so, so addictive. Once flat out, the LaFerrari reached maximum of 217mph which makes a desirable as fuck, almost the most desirable car in the world, if you ask me.
NO I MEAN, HOW DO YOU CHARGE IT UP?
By plugging it into the wall? Hell no! This is Ferrari we're talking about for god's sake!
The batteries are mounted on the floor right behind the seats, and breathes power through a combination of KERS(Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which as per Ferrari, surpasses the efficiency of any other hybrid by miles, by syphoning off excess power through the V12, and routing it trough the second motor, which in case needed, works as a giant of an alternator. As claimed by Ferrari, the charge of the LaFerrari will never run out in real world conditions. The only way you could 'probably' run the motor out was if you took it to Nurburgring at ran the car at 217mph+ lap after lap. Don't dare to do that? I thought as much.
ANYTHING ELSE, YOU ASK?
The car comes equipped with tech like active aero devices. At the rear is fit a large spoiler hidden at rest, connected with air-flaps which burst out under breaking, when the extra downforce is needed to stop the car within the black stuff (turmac). At max drag mode, the active aero system gives the car an additional 230kg of downforce. Well, for an individual buying a $1.6 million car, the use of any of these performance friendly equipments would be rare, don't you think? Well, LaFerrari has crossed limits, broken records, won hearts and most of all made a special place for itself beautifully.
SO GREAT, I WANT ONE TOO.
Sorry to break your heart there, Sheikh, but even at a whopping $1.6M price tag, all 499 of these have been sold and Ferrari took the pain to handpick every single one of the buyers and even went to the extent of weeding out the speculators to make the sale smooth and discreet. Now that is what you call a brand. Ferrari remains to be the only company with the liberty to create a product, and sell all of the units even before presenting the product to it's buyers.
TO THE MARANELLO FANS OUT THERE : FORZA FERRARI!!
