Ferrari has come out with the limited edition super sports car we have all been waiting to see. While it does look superbly beautiful, it still looks like any other Ferrari only as if it were on steroids.

“We chose to call this model LaFerrari,” declared Ferrari’s President, Luca di Montezemolo, “because it is the maximum expression of what defines our company – excellence. To be excellent this limited edition dream car comes with a massively powerful 6262 cc V12 that punches out 800bhp and revs to a maximum of 9,250 rpm, a record for an engine of this displacement. The engine is matched with a 163bhp electric motor, giving it a combined power output of 963bhp. The LaFerrari is also the first car in Ferrari history to be powered by the HY-KERS system.

One further innovative aspect of the LaFerrari is the integration of its active aerodynamics and hybrid system with the other dynamic control systems aboard. This means the car responds intelligently to driver inputs, making for a seamless blend of unprecedented performance and unparalleled driving emotions. Only 499 units will be built, so if you have a cool 1.3 million Euros lying around somewhere, you better hurry up.
