The LaFerrari is the successor to the Enzo and was unveiled on March 5, 2013, at the Geneva Motor Show. As the first production Ferrari with a hybrid powertrain, it features HY-KERS, derived from Formula 1 KERS. Combined with the hybrid system, the 6.3-liter V12 delivers 963 PS. It was designed in Ferrari's in-house design center under Flavio Manzoni. Only 499 cars were built, each priced at over 1 million euros.

Genesis and design
From the five 2011 proposals, Ferrari built two full-scale models: the "Manta" concept and the "Tensostruttura" concept. They were displayed at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello and at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. The final design resembles the "Manta." In contrast, later vehicles from the Ferrari Centro Stile, such as the SF90 Stradale, are reminiscent of the "Tensostruttura." After a long line of Pininfarina models, the LaFerrari was created in Ferrari's own design department.
Powertrain
The 6.3-liter V12 produces 800 PS at 9000/min on its own. It is supported by two electric motors generating a combined 120 kW: one feeds its power directly to the dual-clutch transmission, while the other powers various ancillaries, thereby relieving load on the main powertrain. Electricity is generated during deceleration and stored in battery packs mounted low in the chassis. Technically, the system is partly derived from the 599 HY-KERS concept shown in Geneva in 2010; with different tuning, the V12 is also used in the FXX and the F12.
Performance
According to Italian technical data, the LaFerrari accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds, reaches 200 in 6.9 seconds, and 300 km/h in 15 seconds. Ferrari quotes a dry weight of approximately 1255 kg. The foundation was formed by insights from the FXX development prototype and research from the Millechili project at the University of Modena. Until the introduction of the SF90, it was considered the brand's most powerful two-seater.
