The La Ferrari

The Enzo's successor, the La Ferrari was way overdue at the time of its launch in 2014. The time gaps between the launch of the 288GTO and F40, F40 and F50, F50 and Enzo was 3 years, 8 years and 7 years respectfully. The gap between the La Ferrari and Enzo was a staggering 12 years, luckily Ferrari made good use of those 12 years and developed one hell of a car. When building the La Ferrari, Ferrari's engineers focused on four principles, its aero efficiency, weight distribution, center of gravity and seamless integration of its F1 derived hybrid power unit.

The La Ferrari's roof height sits at 1.11m but can be dropped by 5cm when the driver switches the car to Race-mode. Mean while the suspension stiffens up by 300% and the rear wing raises by 300mm making the car extremely responsive the driver inputs. The engine, batteries and all the heavy bits of the car sit between the axels and its center of gravity is 35mm lower than the Enzo giving it even more stability and confidence in all driving conditions.

Despite having the same wheelbase and body length as the Enzo, Ferrari was able to fit their F1 hybrid power unit and dual clutch plus their cooling systems into the chassis while improving the cars performance and making the car stunningly beautiful.
