Ferrari LaFerrari

The V12 hybrid flagship

Why it belongs

A machine that changed the conversation.

LaFerrari paired a naturally aspirated V12 with electric assistance derived from Ferrari's Formula One experience. The system filled torque and increased total output while preserving the sound and identity expected of Maranello's most important road car.

The case for greatness

The Ferrari LaFerrari earns its place through more than a headline or a price achieved decades later. It represents a moment when engineering, design, competition and culture converged. Its lasting importance is measured by what contemporaries saw in it, what later manufacturers learned from it and why enthusiasts still return to the experience today.

Context matters. Standards of speed, safety, comfort and usability changed enormously across the 2016–Present period, so this car is best understood against the problems and ambitions of its own era—not only against modern numbers.
