The supercar formerly known as the F70, and later the F150, will finally bear the explicit name of “LaFerrari”. It made its world debut today at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. 
“We chose to call this model 'LaFerrari' because it is the maximum expression of what defines our company – excellence. Excellence in terms of technological innovation, performance, styling and the sheer thrill of driving. Aimed at our collectors, this is a truly extraordinary car which encompasses advanced solutions that, in the future, will find their way onto the rest of the range,” declared Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo.
An 800-horsepower V12 engine combines with two electric motors and floor-mounted batteries to propel the LaFerrari from 0-100 km/h in less than three seconds. Top speed is rated at 350 km/h.
Said batteries can be charged through regenerative braking, as well as every time the engine produces more torque than necessary. The extra torque is indeed converted into electricity to extend the range.
Only 499 copies of the LaFerrari will be built. Stay tuned for pricing and availability.
