Ferrari LaFerrari
2013-2018
Revealed at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari LaFerrari, which translates to "Ferrari The Ferrari," is the first Hypercar from Ferrari since the Enzo was introduced in 2004. It also marks the first time a Ferrari has not been designed or styled by Pininfarina since the 1973 Dino 308 GT4.
Built on the FXX development prototype, only 499 units of the LaFerrari were produced, each priced at over £1 million. This remarkable vehicle features a mid-mounted 6.3-litre V12 engine, complemented by a 60kg battery pack that powers Ferrari's HY-KERS system, resulting in a combined output of 950bhp. The HY-KERS system efficiently captures energy from the brakes, ABS, traction control, and E-Diff, delivering it to the rear wheels as needed through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This gearbox, specially designed by Getrag, includes its own electric motor and a unique gear configuration that eliminates the need for a traditional clutch.
The LaFerrari can achieve a top speed of 227 mph and accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in under three seconds.
Ferrari SF90 Stradale (2019)
Celebrating 90 years of Scuderia Ferrari, the SF90 outperforms the LaFerrari with its remarkable capabilities. It boasts a powerful F154 twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces an astonishing 986 bhp, surpassing the LaFerrari by 36 bhp and marking the highest output from any Ferrari to date. This engine, an evolution of the 488 Pista, has been expanded to 3990cc. The SF90's innovative design features a lower-mounted turbocharger and a compact flywheel, which contribute to a lower center of gravity. It also employs a lightweight super-alloy Inconel for the exhaust system instead of conventional steel, and is fitted with three electric motors—two at the front and one at the rear, located between the engine and gearbox—to drive all four wheels. Unlike its predecessor, the SF90 can run entirely on electric power, achieving a range of 16 miles at speeds up to 84 mph. This blend of reduced weight and increased power allows the SF90 to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds, reaching a top speed of 212 mph.
Ferrari Daytona (SP3)
The SP3's design draws inspiration from 1960s race cars, featuring an aerodynamically refined look that combines Ferrari's classic aesthetics with modern influences. Its low, wraparound windscreen pays homage to the P3/4, while the 'double-crested' front wings reference iconic sports prototypes such as the 512 S, 712 Can-Am, and 312 P. Additionally, the rearview mirrors are positioned atop the front wheel fenders, taking cues from the P3 and P4 models.
This car boasts a naturally aspirated 6.5 L Ferrari F140 HC V12 engine that can rev up to an impressive 9500 rpm. It produces 840 PS (618 kW; 829 hp) at 9250 rpm and delivers 697 NM (514 lb ft) of torque at 7250 rpm. The Daytona SP3 is notable for being the first road-legal Ferrari to have a mid-mounted 12-cylinder engine without any electric hybrid systems since the Ferrari Enzo in 2002. This powerful engine is paired with a faster-shifting version of the 812 Competizione's 7-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission. To ensure optimal power delivery, Ferrari has included an e-diff and advanced electronics, such as Side Slip Control (SSC) 6.1 with Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer (FDE). The gear shifts are incredibly quick, taking less than 200 milliseconds to switch gears.
The SP3 can go from 0-62 mph (0 -100 km/h) in just 2.85 seconds, reach 124 mph (200 km/h) in 7.4 seconds, and achieve a maximum speed exceeding 211 mph (340 km/h).
