In today's increasingly environmentally conscious times, even supercar manufacturers have felt the need to polish up their 'Green' credentials. Seeking better fuel economy and reduced emissions, they have brought 'hybrid' technology to this previously exclusively fossil-fuels-only sector of the market. This has resulted in a 'win-win' situation: these latest hypercars being more environmentally friendly while at the same time considerably more powerful than before.
Ferrari's first offering in this expanding category was the LaFerrari, a limited-edition coupé that entered production in 2013. Ferrari's last model with a mid-mounted 12-cylinder engine, LaFerrari was the distillation of no fewer than nine design studies created during the process of its development. The car was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show. Unusually, its styling had no input from Ferrari's long-term collaborator, Carrozzeria Pinifarina.
Clearly, a car evocatively titled 'LaFerrari' would have to have a V12 engine, a type of power unit used in the very first Ferrari of 1947 and for a glorious succession of the Italian factory's most famous models. The LaFerrari V12 has a displacement of 6.3-litres and produces 789bhp, supplemented by an electric motor producing 161bhp for a combined output of 950 horsepower, the highest power output of any Ferrari road car. With the car is in motion, the electric motor's lithium-ion battery pack is charged by a KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) as used in the current generation of Formula 1 cars.
Power reaches the rear wheels (there's no four-wheel drive) via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. And if you didn't use those 950 horses all the time, there was also a useful decrease in fuel consumption, not that that would have interested the typical LaFerrari owner.
Designed by Ferrari's F1 technical director, Rory Byrne, the LaFerrari has a carbon fibre monocoque chassis with suspension at the front by double wishbones and at the rear by a multi-link system - pretty much the norm for the current generation of supercars. Any car with a 200mph-plus maximum needs plenty of stopping power, and the LaFerrari was equipped with Brembo's finest carbon-ceramic brakes. Ferrari claimed a top speed exceeding 349km/h (217mph), similar to the Enzo's top speed; however, the LaFerrari could accelerating from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in under 2.4 seconds and reach 300km/h (186mph) in 15 seconds, comfortably out-performing its predecessor. The factory also claimed that LaFerrari had lapped its Fiorano test track in 1:19.7, faster than any other road-legal Ferrari.
Electronic systems abound in even the humblest of modern hatchbacks, and as one would expect, the Laferrari boasts just about every bit of automotive electrickery imaginable: electronic stability control; high performance ABS/EBD (anti-lock braking system/electronic brake distribution), EF1-Trac F1 traction control integrated with the hybrid propulsion system; E-Diff 3 electronic differential; and magnetorheological suspension dampers - all controlled by 21 computers. There was also active aerodynamics, the front and rear wings being adjustable on the move to provide either high or low downforce while also controlling cooling of the engine, gearbox, batteries, and brakes.
More electronics were deployed in the cockpit in the form of a 12.3" (310mm) TFT digital dashboard display with a choice of three optional layouts capable of relaying data from the telemetry system. The steering wheel featured integrated controls, while the gear change paddles were fixed directly to steering column.
One of the fortunate few to have driven a LaFerrari, Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe was mightily impressed when let loose in one at Fiorano. "The ride instantly feels spookily smooth and calm, the steering surprisingly light but bursting with a delicious, old school kind of feel. The brake pedal also feels light underfoot but is again rippling with feel. And the throttle response, the first time I go anywhere near the loud pedal is just outrageous; the car explodes down the back straight even on half throttle in fourth gear.
"And that's what you get when you integrate electric power with a thumping great V12. At low revs the electricity provides the torque, and provides it instantly, and from there on up – at about 3000rpm – the V12 takes over. Yet the transformation is so smooth you are never actually aware that it takes place. Instead, it feels like the car is powered by a 10-litre V12 that somehow has massive low rev response at the same time.
"And yet, in their way, the gearchange, the brakes, the steering, the turn in, the handling balance and the ride... they are all every bit as incredible as the engine – sorry the power source – and the acceleration it can produce."
Putting a 950 horsepower car weighing only some 1,255kg dry in the hands of mere mortals, as opposed to professional racing drivers, might be considered somewhat reckless, but in designing LaFerrari, its makers ensured that whatever the car did it did predictably. "You always know where you are with this car," declared Autocar. "And considering just how insanely fast it is, that is arguably its greatest achievement; being manageable."
Despite a price of £1 million (approximately €1.4 million) each, all 499 examples planned had sold before the first had been delivered. However, merely having pockets of limitless depth was not alone sufficient for you to acquire a LaFerrari, which was only available to loyal customers vetted by Ferrari.
Representing a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of these fabulous Ferrari hypercars, the LaFerrari offered here left the factory in March 2014 to be delivered via the famous French Ferrari importer Charles Pozzi in Levallois-Perret, just outside the French capital, to its first owner, a resident of Paris. The service book notes the pre-delivery check was carried out on 26th March 2014, and the car also comes with a duplicate of the official 'Attestato per vetture Serie speciali'.
The colours are Rosso Scuderia with a matching leather interior. Having ordered an Atelier model from Ferrari's personalization programme, the fortunate first owner chose a variety of very desirable (and costly) additional options. These include Rosso Scuderia brake calipers; numerous matt finish carbon-fibre parts including the roof, rear view mirrors, Cup wheels, lower sections; Ferrari telemetry; suspension lifter; sports exhaust pipes; fire extinguisher; large size seat cushion; and four-point safety harnesses.
In 2015 the LaFerrari was sold to a new custodian in Luxembourg, who chose to have it serviced in its native Italy. The car comes with Ferrari service history recording the following services:
26/03/2014: Pre-delivery inspection by Charles Pozzi
06/05/2015 @ 4,245 km: Charles Pozzi
16/06/2016 @ 11,097 km: Ineco, Padua
21/05/2018 @ 15,798 km: Motor Service Srl, Modena
05/04/2024 @ 17,335 km: Maranello Service Srl, Cremona
19/08/2025 @ 17,666 km: Official Ferrari dealer Emil Frey Sportivo, Munich
Importantly, for peace of mind, this car comes with a two-year extension of the factory guarantee, including the battery, which is valid until December 2026. New Michelin Pilot Sport tyres were fitted in June 2024.
The car is offered with Luxembourg registration documents; the aforementioned duplicate 'Attestato per vetture Serie speciali' (yellow book) confirming matching numbers (chassis, engine and gearbox); the original stamped service book; factory warranty extension; and technical certificate of the state of the battery.
With the forthcoming Ferrari F80 already sold out, the LaFerrari is expected to be the last of the special series Ferrari models still equipped with a V12 engine, and a normally aspirated one at that.
A rarity with only 499 of the closed version made; a superb specification; comprehensive Ferrari service history; and the all-important warranty extension covering both the car and battery, make this an exciting proposition for the Ferrari collector.
