Ferrari unveils LaFerrari: strange name

After hypothetical names such as Ferrari F70 or F150, the replacement for the mythical Enzo is finally called LaFerrari.

It seems odd to call a Ferrari LaFerrari. The name sounds a little off to my ears. Personally, I would have chosen Enzo II or even F70.
Be that as it may, it is still an outstanding car benefitting from the latest wind tunnel results and a direct result of all those years of F1 experience at the Scuderia.

Thanks to its carbon fibre structure, the two-seater weighs a mere 1370 kg.
963 Horsepower Hybrid.

Yes, this superb exotic is a hybrid using the Hy-Kers propulsion system combining an 800 horsepower 6.2l V12 with a 163 horsepower electric motor.
Total power reaches 963 horsepower.
The only transmission offered is the automated F1-type, double clutch seven-speed gearbox.

Performance-wise:

-    0 to 100 km/hr requires less than 3 seconds;
-    0 to 200 km/hr requires less than 7 seconds;
-    0 to 300 km/hr requires less than 15 seconds;
-    Top speed is 350 km/hr.

Ferrari LaFerrari production is limited to 499 examples with a price approaching 1.2 million Euros.
