Normally when we think of Hybrids, our minds conjure up an image of this

beige lumpy thing:



Darling of Enviromentalists, bane of car enthusiasts

Its slow, disconnected, and horribly dull to drive.

However Ferrari has an entirely different idea for a hybid

Meet LaFerrari



Yes now THIS is a hybrid car I can get behind.

The basic engine is monstrous V12 that revs to 9250 RPM that produces 789 Horsepower

Thats just where its starts, add on to that an electric motor that adds another 161 Horsepower to the mix.

Is it fast? 0-60 in a hair of 2 seconds is the word and a top speed of 230 so yeah it goes like a scalded dog.

LaFerrari (yes its a stupid name) essentially picks up where the F12, Enzo and F40 left off,

Price? If you have to actually ask.....
Thanks for this!
