LaFerrari (aka F70 or F150) Also known as the F70, the LaFerrari

by F1 models, the carbon fiber body has been aerodynamically sculpted into an innovative design and the low bonnet accentuates the muscular wheel arches. Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa both played an active part in the car’s development, which has a similar driving position to a single-seater F1 car. Powered by the mid- rear-mounted 65° V12 and supplemented by the HY-KERS (kinetic energy reduction system) unit, LaFerrari promises top-level performance in both power and speed, delivering 950 bhp and 0-60 in less than three seconds. Punching out a top speed of 217 mph, LaFerrari has recorded a lap time of just 1 minute 30 seconds on the Fiorano Test Circuit.

is the first mild hybrid (typically mainly powered by an internal combustion engine alongside an electric motor that enables the engine to be negated when stopped, braking, or coasting) produced by Ferrari to mark the 70 th anniversary of motoring success. The eagerly awaited limited production sports car was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and is the first car since the 1973 Bertone-styled Dino 308 GT4 not to receive Pininfarina bodywork or styling. While boasting the highest power output of any Ferrari, the innovative technology has allowed fuel consumption to be cut by 40 per cent. A team led by Flavio Manzoni have perfectly balanced and emphasized both beauty and ability in their design of LaFerrari. Inspired
