Roughly once a decade, Ferrari unveils a limited-production supercar, with only a few hundred units manufactured and sold exclusively to a select few, whose garages already house at least one classic Ferrari. The latest revelation occurred three months ago at the Geneva Motor Show when Ferrari introduced the LaFerrari, its first hybrid supercar. With this car, Ferrari deviated from its renowned expertise in two areas: it incorporated cutting-edge composite materials and introduced a hybrid propulsion system called HY-KERS. The combined power output of the system is 963 horsepower, derived from an internal combustion V12 engine with a displacement of 6.6 liters, delivering 800 horsepower, and an additional 163 horsepower from an electric motor. The car’s top speed is 350 km/h, and its price is around $1.3 million at the factory gate, before taxes imposed by each country on cars sold within its borders.
