The Ferrari LaFerrari Drives Like a Prius!
When Ferrari released the LaFerrari, the company insisted that unlike it’s two hybrid competitors, it did not have a fully electric drive mode. Well, it didn’t take too long to debunk.
The video below was taken at Monza at a track day and appears to show off the million dollar hypercar slowly strolling out of the pits in complete and utter silence.
This wouldn’t be that big of a deal if it were any other car as you can barely hear most cars today. However, the LaFerrari with its V12 monster is no normal car. Here is what it sounds like at full throttle.
It’s interesting that Ferrari didn’t want anyone knowing the car actually had a pure EV mode. Was it done out of pride, or was it because they didn’t want to be associated with EVs? I doubt we will ever truly know the reasoning behind it, but it appears to certainly have an EV mode.
The best part in the video however is unquestionably when you hear the V12 fires to life after the driver turns the corner.
