LaFerrari (project name, F150) is a limited production hybrid sports car built by Ferrari. LaFerrari literally means "The Ferrari" in most Romance languages, in the sense that it is the "definitive" Ferrari. On December 3, 2016, a LaFerrari auctioned off for $7 million (£5,743,) making this car "the most valuable 21st century automobile ever sold at auction". The LaFerrari is based on findings from testing of the FXX[5] and on research being conducted by the Millechili Project at the University of Modena. Association with the Millechili Project led to speculation during development that the car would weigh under 1,000 kg (2,205 lb),[8] but a dry weight of around 1,255 kg (2,767 lb) was claimed. Only 499 units have been built, and each cost more than 1 million US dollars. An additional 500th car was later made to be sold at an auction. The vehicle was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show,[ followed by Auto Shanghai 2013, LaFerrari is the first mild hybrid from Ferrari, providing the highest power output of any Ferrari whilst decreasing fuel consumption by 40 percent.[24] LaFerrari's internal combustion engine is a mid-rear mounted Ferrari F140 65° V12 with a (6262 cc) capacity producing 800 PS (588 kW, 789 bhp) @ 9000 rpm and 700 N·m (520 lbf·ft) of torque @ 6,750 rpm,[1][2] supplemented by a 163 PS (120 kW; 161 bhp) KERS unit (called HY-KERS), which will provide short bursts of extra power.[25] The KERS system adds extra power to the combustion engine's output level for a total of 963 PS (708 kW; 950 bhp) and a combined torque of 900 N·m (664 lb·ft).[2][26] Ferrari claims CO2 emissions of 330 g/km. The engine's bore and stroke is 94× mm with a compression ratio of :1 and a specific power output of 94 kW (128 PS) per litre.[2] It is connected to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and the car is rear-wheel drive.
