The LaFerrari (also called F150) is a limited production hypercar built by Ferrari.Only 499 units will be sold each costing $1.69 million.The cars total weight is about a 1000 Kg's which is about the same weight as the Sesto Elemento. This is Ferrari's first 'Mild Hybrid' car. A mild hybrid engine is different from a full hybrid engine. A mid hybrid engine is an internal combustion engine that is equipped with an electric motor allowing the engine to switch off when it is coasting or stopped yet restart quickly again, and they give some amount of power assist to the the internal combustion engine. Coasting is when the drive is disconnected from the wheels. The drive the power produced by the engine to turn the wheels. This happens due to the gear box being in neutral or when the clutch pedal is depressed. This engine has decreased the fuel consumption of the car by 40%. In the rear part lies the engine. The engine is 6.3 Lt, V12 with an angle configuration of 65 degrees produces 789 HP and 700 Nm of torque and the electric motor produces 174 HP and and 200 Nm of torque so the total output produced by the engine is 963 HP and 900 Nm of torque. It is connected to a 7 speed dual-clutch transmission and is an rear wheel drive. It has a CO2 output of 330 g/km. It has may electronic controls including stability, traction control and ABS in high speeds,and it also has a carbon fiber monocoque for strong support and stability for the structure.
What I think of the physical part is that I feel it is one of the most aerodynamic and aggressive looking cars Ferrari has ever made. It is my favorite Ferrari after the F12 berlinetta. It has an aerodynamic resistance less than 3. It is designed in such a way so that there is equal weight distribution, low resistance and to lower the car's center of gravity.
What I think of the engine is that it is so powerful. It has a top speed of 350 Km/h. With that much torque it can go from 0-100 Km/h in under 3 seconds, 0-200 Km/h in under 7 seconds and 0-300 Km/h in under 15 seconds. For resting the new cars Ferrari has their own race track called Fiorano circuit. It is 2.997 Km long and has 12 turns. The LaFerrari can cover the whole track under 1:20 which is the faster than any other road-legal car Ferrari has ever made.
