Ferrari's hybrid hypercar (2013-2018). 6.3 V12 plus electric motor making 950 horsepower combined. Limited to 499 cars total globally.

The Ferrari LaFerrari is a hybrid hypercar produced from 2013 to 2018, replacing the Enzo as Ferrari halo car. The LaFerrari was Ferrari first hybrid road car, with the V12 engine paired with electric motor for combined 950 horsepower. Production was limited to 499 coupes plus 210 LaFerrari Aperta convertible variants. The LaFerrari uses Ferrari F140FE 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 plus the HY-KERS electric motor system (derived from Formula 1 hybrid technology). The combination produces 950 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and 664 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 in around 2.4 seconds, top speed over 217 mph. The LaFerrari was part of the holy trinity of hybrid hypercars (LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder), all launched within months of each other. Each represents the marker manufacturer interpretation of hybrid hypercar performance. The LaFerrari has become a recognized blue-chip collector car. On WhipJury, LaFerrari submissions are extremely rare but always memorable.

Frequently asked questions about Ferrari LaFerrari

How much does a LaFerrari cost?
Original MSRP was $1.4 million. Used pricing has appreciated to $3.5-5 million+. The Aperta convertible is more expensive ($5-8 million+). The LaFerrari has been one of the best-appreciating modern Ferrari halo cars.
Is the LaFerrari faster than the Enzo?
Yes, significantly. LaFerrari makes 950 horsepower (vs Enzo 651) and runs 0-60 in around 2.4 seconds (vs Enzo 3.4 seconds). The LaFerrari hybrid system provides launch capability the Enzo could not match.
Why is the LaFerrari so valuable?
Limited production (499 coupes plus 210 Apertas, total 709 cars). Cultural significance as the modern Ferrari halo. Holy trinity status alongside McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. Continuing engineering reputation. The combination has driven prices significantly above original MSRP.
Is the LaFerrari reliable?
Generally yes for a hypercar. The V12 engine is durable when maintained. The hybrid system has been reliable. Common issues are typical for high-performance hybrids: occasional electronic concerns, hybrid system service intervals. Maintenance is extremely expensive due to specialty parts and limited dealer support.
Why was production limited?
Ferrari traditionally produces halo cars in limited volumes to maintain exclusivity and ensure demand exceeds supply. The 499 coupe production satisfied existing customer demand and maintained the LaFerrari halo positioning. Subsequent Ferrari halo cars (SF90, F8 Tributo) have been produced in higher volumes.
