Hybrid LaFerrari hypercar caught on the streets around Maranello
A disguised LaFerrari has been caught testing on the streets in Maranello. The 950bhp hypercar, recently unveiled at the Geneva motor show, was undergoing the last stages of pre-production testing before it reaches customers in the autumn.
Despite the car's camouflage, many of the LaFerrari's styling features can be seen in the shots taken by Autocar reader, Jordan Griffith. The F1-style rear foglight, for example, can be seen under the numberplate. The huge rear intakes are free from disguise.
The latest Ferrari flagship is powered by a 6.3-litre V12 and a HY-KERS hybrid system. The combustion engine provides 789bhp, with the hybrid assistance contributing the remaining 161bhp to the 950bhp total. Torque is rated at 715lb ft. These figures trump those of its nearest rivals, the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder.
Ferrari will make 499 LaFerraris at €1.3 million (£1.1 million) each, with nearly every car now allocated to customers.
