The Ferrari LaFerrari – Ferrari’s hypercar replacement for the Enzo – has been revealed to China at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show. Fifty LaFerraris are heading for China.
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.
