It covers the exterior and interior, concluding with driving scenes. Naturally, the V12 engine sound is also included.

The "LaFerrari" boasts an ideal weight distribution of 41:59 and a compact wheelbase comparable to the 458 Italia. This video explains the aerodynamics, weight distribution, and layout of the hybrid system. You can understand the car's internal structure with beautiful CG. Also, pay attention to the new dashboard design.



Ferrari's Fastest Road Car Ever


With a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of under 3 seconds and a lap time at the Fiorano Circuit of under 1 minute 20 seconds—5 seconds faster than the "Enzo Ferrari" and over 3 seconds faster than the "F12 Berlinetta"—the "LaFerrari" delivers top-level performance. We take an in-depth look at the vehicle dynamics equipped with advanced systems. The moment Alonso presses the accelerator in the final scene is a must-see.



The Secret of "HY-KERS"
