Fresh from undoubtedly taking the prize as the star of the Geneva Motor Show last month – where it stole the limelight from the McLaren P1 thanks to Ferrari keeping LaFerrari under wraps until the last minute – LaFerrari has now bowed in at the Shanghai Motor Show in China, a market that accounts for 10 per cent of LaFerrari sales.

Ferrari’s hybrid supercar was as eagerly received as it was in Geneva, with a sea of photographers, press and visitors thronging to get a glimpse of what is undeniably an impressive ‘F70’ from Ferrari.

But looking good is perhaps the second ‘must have’ for a supercar – especially one that replaces the Enzo – and LaFerrari looks to deliver on the number one priority for most supercar buyers – performance.

With 798bhp from its naturally aspirated V12 and an extra 161bhp from its electric motor, LaFerrari promises a dose of green credentials – important, to a degree, on China’s polluted roads – to go with its performance and handling, performance that can see the car it get to 62mph in under 3 seconds and on to a 186mph in an even more impressive 15.5 seconds.

Delivery of the first LaFerraris starts in October, with each costing €1.3 million.
