July 7 – The fixed seat “is a neuro-mechanic connection between man and machine in a manner not dissimilar to what happens in a racing car.” This is one of the most flattering sentences written in the Wall Street Journal, in an article authored by Dan Neil on Ferrari’s first hybrid car: “LaFerrari.” “Not many people can say they’ve driven ‘LaFerrari’ and certainly only a very small number of journalists have – said in a statement the company – For all those who have been lucky enough to drive it, the car proved to be a constant surprise. Its infinite power and ease of use, its never intrusive Hy-kers systems and its aerodynamics make ‘LaFerrari’ a great car for both street and track use.” It’s the maximum synthesis of the know-how gained in Formula 1 and in the company’s production of road cars; “LaFerrari” is the most ambitious Ferrari project so far, striving to redefine the limits of automotive technology. The result is a powerful car, with unmatched performance standards and the most advanced technical solutions that, in the future, may be applied to the entire range. With production limited to only 499 cars, LaFerrari renews the company’s tradition to build high-quality cars for a small number of carefully selected clients.
