LaFerrari (also known as the F70, and by its project name, F150) is the name of the limited edition hybrid sports car built by Ferrari.[4] The car, and its name, were officially unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show. It is based on findings from testing of the Ferrari FXX[4] and on research being conducted by the Millechili Project at the University of Modena. Association with the Millechili Project led to speculation during development that the car would weigh 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) or less.[5]
The LaFerrari is the first hybrid electric vehicle from Ferrari, providing the highest horsepower of any Ferrari while decreasing fuel consumption by 40 percent.[6] The LaFerrari's V12 will have a 6.3 litre capacity with 789 hp[1] and will be supplemented by a 163 hp KERS unit, able to be used in short bursts.[7]
Ferrari states that the car has a top speed exceeding 350 kilometres per hour (220 mph), with a 0-to-100-kilometre-per-hour (0 to 62 mph) time of less than three seconds.The Laferrari achieves the speed of 300 kilometres per hour (190 mph) within 15 seconds. [2] The car uses carbon ceramic Brembo discs on front (398mm) and rear (380mm) and the tires are 265/30 R 19 on the front, while the rear ones are 345/30 R 20. [8] Ferrari claims a Co2 emission of only 220g/km for this car. There will be 499 copies made.[9]
