The Ferrari LaFerrari Thread

[FiestaST]

Double Wow!!

"Ferrari released first photographs of the convertible version of the LaFerrari, the new limited edition special series aimed at clients and collectors that refuse to compromise on the joy of drop-top driving even when at the wheel of a supercar.

The name and technical characteristics of the new car will be announced at the 2016 Paris International Motor Show as will the number Ferrari proposes to build. However, all available examples have already been sold after a special preview to clients and the order book is closed.

The new limited edition special series will be available with a carbon-fibre hard top and a soft top. It has the same running gear and performance figures as the original LaFerrari, sporting a 800 cv V12 ICE (with a specific power output of 128 cv/l) coupled with a 120 kW electric motor (163 cv), unleashing 963 cv in total.

Significant and extensive modifications have been made to the chassis with the aim of retaining the same torsional rigidity and beam stiffness as the coupé version. The car's aerodynamics have also been further honed to guarantee the same drag coefficient even without the roof."

See how awesome Ferrari's can look in other colours?

Clearly this should've been called the Ooh-la-LaFerrari

 

[Necropolis]

Hells bells that an amazing looking machine.

Always wondered, what would happen if they removed the ice engine and drove it on electric power only,

How fast would it go? And for how long

I'm sure the engine weight is a significant amount

No, has to be red Or yellow, just like an Alfa only works in red and black

I think you need to read up on the LaFerrari's electric power unit. It cannot run by itself.

No? So it's got no battery to assist the engine?
That's a pity, as as fast as this car goes, it go even faster on electric drive only.
Even a Prius stripped of its engine can go fast.

Isn't this the one Gordon Ramsay is getting

OMF. All the time you spend typing useless posts on this forum, could be used to read up on things yourself... and pretty soon, you won't have to ask stupid questions on here anymore. You might actually be able to give valuable input on conversations.

But my input is valid!
All I asked is if you stripped the engine from this car, and drive it on the electric motor only, how fast would it go?
If there is no battery, let's pretend there is one,
How about then?

I won't say valid... Maybe special.

Ok so it won't go far, but still how fast using electric power alone,
Like a p1 or a 918 how fast can those go on electric power alone!
Strip the heavy engine, and only the standard batteries,
I mean they do it with Prius so why not here.

How the fark would he know? Why don't you go strip one and tell us?

Unlike the P1 and 918, the ferrari can not run on electric motor only, it is only a boost for the engine

Thanks, this is the answer I was looking for,

Now about the other 2, strip of engines and loaded down with batteries

How fast could they theoretically go?

More of a think about it questiob

That depends, the motor would be bigger and more powerful to do so.
