As we have reported, the LaFerrari is powered by a 6262cc V12 engine which produces 800 hp at 9,000 rpm and 700 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm, working together with an electric motor providing an extra 163 hp and 270 Nm. This setup creates a total combined power output of 963 hp.
Power is sent to the wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox that allows the 1,255 kg supercar to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 3 seconds and hit a top speed of more than 350 km/h.
