Ferrari LaFerrari - Best hypercars

Ferrari itself was so impressed with this model, it decided to call it LaFerrari or ‘The Ferrari’, implying it’s the definitive car from the brand. Though with a new Ferrari F80 on the way, Maranello might be wishing it held onto the moniker for just a little longer…

Available as a coupe from 2013 and an ‘Aperta’ or spider from 2016, the £1m plus LaFerrari is the ultimate poster car of the era. And no wonder, with stunning styling wrapping up a Formula One-inspired hybrid system that mates the 6.3-litre V12 from the Ferrari F12 to an electric motor for a combined output of 950bhp.

To illustrate what the LaFerrari is capable of, the firm says it will lap the Fiorano test track an incredible five seconds faster than the previously ‘definitive’ Ferrari Enzo. As you’d expect, the lavish use of carbon fibre technology helps keep the car’s weight down to an impressively skimpy 1,250kg, and like most of the current crop of hypercars LaFerrari has active aerodynamic panels so it doesn’t need a massive fixed rear wing like the old Ferrari F40.
