Besides the straight-line speed, Ferrari says the LaFerrari lapped its Fiorano testing track in 1 minute, 20 seconds.
Ferrari says the supercar has been equipped with dynamic control systems which means that the car responds intelligently to driver inputs, making for a seamless blend of unprecedented performance and unparalleled driving emotions. LaFerrari's Brembo braking system is also integrated with the hybrid system and incorporates several new features, including new lightweight callipers designed to guarantee correct cooling and carbon-ceramic material (CCM) discs featuring a new composition.
"We chose to call this model LaFerrari because it is the maximum expression of what defines our company – excellence. Excellence in terms of technological innovation, performance, styling and the sheer thrill of driving,” said Luca di Montezemolo, Ferrari's president, while unveiling the model.
Pricing isn't being released, but something in the $1.2-1.5M range is expected. Aimed at collectors, the company says it will produce 499 of such models.
