Roaster Unveiled : LaFerrari * 963hp Featured CHRIS HARRIS Noted journalist, driver, and mad man Chris Harris described the LaFerrari as a traffic nightmare for Road & Track: Take a 458, lose a little rear visibility, add some width, a 10 percent intimidation factor for the sticker price, and a few extra points for fellow motorists who seem hellbent on crashing into you while they gawk, and thats the slow-speed difficulty summarized; thats your LaFerrari in traffic. The guys at Top Gear sum it up as the best nightmare ever: Truth is, even if youre lucky enough to have driven supercars before, nothing quite prepares you for a moment like this. Emotions? Excitement, no question. Privilege, too. But mostly fear. Quite a lot of fear. The car boasts 963 horsepower with its HY-KERS engine system—the 6262cc V12 engine produces 800HP and the electric engine produces an additional 12okW (163 HP). This leads to a top speed over 350KM/H (over 217MI/H). It also produces over 663.8 pound feet of torque. This means an acceleration from 0-100KM/H (0 to ~62MI/H) in under 3 seconds and 0-200KM/H (0 to ~124MI/H) in under 6. It takes nothing to play around with this car. With all the power this has, you can still play and play and play, theres up to 9000RPM in this thing.
