LaFerrari

'Replacing the Enzo was far from easy. Ten years later, there is no way that we would have allowed ourselves to make just a small step forward from the Enzo.'

'Every time you accelerate, the electric motor's 120 kilowatts (equivalent to 163 hp) work together with the 800 hp from the 6.3-liter V-12 engine. The result is an acceleration boost never before seen in a road car.'

'We wanted to use the hybrid technology to boost performances, like in F1, rather than use it just to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.'

Ferrari Technical Director

• The LaFerrari replaces the Enzo, officially, but its performance benchmark was the 2013 F12 Berlinetta which beat the Enzo lap time around the 1.9-mile Fiorano test track by three seconds.
• With help from the HY-KERS* system, LaFerrari's lap time at Fiorano was 1 minute and 20 seconds, making it 3 seconds quicker than the F12 and 5 seconds faster than the Enzo.

*presumably HY from 'hybrid' added to Kinetic Energy Recuperation System (KERS) from the Ferrari F1 cars.
