Ferrari LaFerrari Sole Generation
950 hp V12 hybrid. 499 coupes + 210 Apertas. The 'Holy Trinity' member alongside P1 and 918.
Naturally-aspirated 6.3L V12 (F140 family, evolved from the Enzo) at 789 hp / 516 lb-ft, 9,250 rpm redline. HY-KERS electric motor at 161 hp / 148 lb-ft. Combined system output 950 hp / 664 lb-ft. Seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Carbon-fibre monocoque (four different carbon-fibre weaves used for different stress requirements). Active aerodynamics across front splitter, rear diffuser, and rear wing. Brembo CCM3 carbon-ceramic brakes. Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres. Battery mounted low behind the cockpit, integrated structurally. The LaFerrari is one of the 'Holy Trinity' of 2013-2014 hybrid hypercars (alongside the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder) — these three cars defined the modern hybrid hypercar template. The Aperta convertible (2016-2018) used the same powertrain in a removable-hardtop body. Production: 499 coupes + 210 Apertas + 1 'Aperta Charity' = 710 cars. List prices: coupe $1.4M, Aperta $2.2M. Now firmly multi-million-dollar collector territory.
