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 and many more.
Engine and power-unit[]
The car's HY-KERS Systems combines the V12 with 2 electric motors - one to power te driven wheels and the other is for the ancillaries. The LaFerrari uses a 6.3 Liter (6,262 cc) V12 that pushes out 800 horsepower and two electricmotors 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 does a 0-62kph sprint in 2,8 seconds.

The body computer system is developed by Magneti Marelli Automotive Lighting.
LaFerrari Aperta (2016)[]
LaFerrari Aperta is the open-top version of LaFerrari. Initially, 200 cars were sold with an additional nine reserved for use during the Ferrari 70th Anniversary celebrations. One more unit was later sold by auction. The Aperta comes with a removable carbon-fiber hardtop and a removable canvas soft top. Other changes include more efficient powertrain's control electronics, re-angled radiators to direct airflow out along the underbody rather than over the bonnet, a longer front air dam to help increase downforce, an L-shaped flap on the upper corner of each windscreen pillar to reduce compression on the rear of the cabin in the absence of a roof, different door opening angles with different wheel arches and a new carbon-fiber insert allowing the doors to rotate. The car was unveiled at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. Like past open-top Ferrari models, it uses the Aperta label to denote its removable roof. According to Ferrari, all units were already pre-sold to customers via invitation.
