I don't think any hybrid has ever generated as much attention as this new hybrid introduced into 2013 geneva auto show well this hyper is a Ferrari so that's probably why this model is called laferrari it's a very limited edition Ferrari was only going to make 499 examples of it and it uses a hybrid system that Ferrari has been developing for a little while and as shown in development forum at a number of auto shows this hybrid system is called hikers hy ke RS that's answer hybrid kinetic energy recovery system this hybrid system is composed of a 6.3 liter v12 engine plus and 167 horsepower electric motor attached to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox it all comes in one big long component and the whole unit produces 950 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque that electric motor provides a lot of boost gets this car to 62 miles per hour in under three seconds according to Ferrari they also say a top speed of over 217 miles per hour there's a lot more high-tech features of this Ferrari it actually has a magnetic adaptive suspension and it also has an electronic differential the entire body and chassis is made of carbon fiber and this carbon fiber is actually built constructed in Ferraris own racing department so Ferrari owners will have a little bit of f1 development in their la Ferraris this is of course a road car but it does use active aerodynamics as well to increase downforce it has veins underneath the car that flip up and down to channel air and also an active spoiler that moves up depending on speed to add downforce and improve handling the cockpit is also f1 inspired it uses a 12 point 3 inch digital instrument panel and the driver can actually have it show a standard tachometer more traditional for re sense or a modern racing display because there's only going to be 499 units you probably won't see too many of these in the Y ferrari's aiming these at the dedicated Ferrari collector I'm when cutting them here at the 2013 geneva auto show
