Across Ferrari’s long history they have created many iconic cars, however the stand out in recent history has to be the Ferrari LaFerrari. With its 9th anniversary coming up this year let’s take a look back at it in all its glory.  

The mid-mounted 6.3L 950BHP V12 is hard to ignore. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to be in its presence, the roar of the V12 envelopes the surrounding area and draws in the eyes of all passers-by. When it was announced it was the most powerful production car by Ferrari. Using a 7-speed F1 dual-clutch it could achieve its maximum speed of 218mph (350 km/h) and a 0-62mph (100 km/h) in less than 3 seconds. Which has now been only just overtaken by the 986BHP Ferrari SF90. Using its adapted Formula 1 racing technology Ferrari created its first hybrid supercar that used slightly less fuel and emits less CO2. The 60kg lithium-ion battery pack that produces 120kW of power is charged under braking whenever the V12 engine produces more torque than required.

In 2013 Ferrari produced 499 units of the LaFerrari Coupé and in 2016 released a new version, the LaFerrari Aperta. Created for Ferrari's most passionate clients the limited series saw the addition of an open top version of the already acclaimed LaFerrari. With the elimination of the roof it required a review of the door rotation system. Using the same butterfly doors as the coupé the Aperta had when fully open a slightly different angle. With 9 Aperta’s reserved for the Ferrari 70th Anniversary Celebrations, 200 cars were sold. The LaFerrari Aperta came with a removable canvas soft top and a carbon fibre hard top option.

Though we could go on talking about the beautiful design and never ending lines along the body of the LaFerrari, this is just a short look back at the details of the glorious supercar that will live on in the history books as one of the most innovate supercars of its time.
