Ferrari LaFerrari

The Ferrari LaFerrari (aka F70) is the successor to the legendary Enzo. It was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. It is being produced through 2013 with only 499 being built each costing $1.3 Million, even though Ferrari had more than 1,000 orders for the car.

Background
The LaFerrari was designed using F1-inspired aerodynamics and is the first Ferrari to feature a hybrid system. This is the fastest road car Ferrari has ever made, since it lapped at Fiorano in under 1:20, faster then the Enzo and F12 Berlinetta.

Engine
The LaFerrari uses a 6.3 Liter (6,262 cc) V12 that pushes out 800 Horsepower and a hybrid motor adding an extra 163 Horsepower and a peak torque of 663 pound feet. The hybrid system is attached to a F1 dual-clutch gearbox. This car has a top speed of 217 mph (349 km/h) and a 0-60 time in less than 3 seconds. The car's HY-KERS Systems combies the V-12 with 2 electric motors — one to power the driven wheels and the second drives the ancillaries 

Design
LaFerrari received no input from Pininfarina, making it the first Ferrari since the Bertone-styled 1973 Dino 308 GT4 not to have Pininfarina bodywork or other styling. This decision is a rare exception to the collaboration between Ferrari and Pininfarina that began in 1951. However, Ferrari has stated that two new models designed jointly with Pininfarina are yet to be unveiled and that there are no plans to end business relations with Pininfarina. The body computer system is developed by Magneti Marelli Automotive Lighting.

LaFerrari EVOXX
There has been rumors about an even more powerful varient of the LaFerrari, called the LaFerrari EVOXX, based on the FXX. Those rumors are false. Falvio Manzoni, Laferrari cheif designer said "there was one proposal that I thought was especially beautiful. So we decided to keep that one back for something truly special in the future". What he meant was that there were lots of design elements Ferrari didn't use in the LaFerrari but will be included in future Ferrari models.
