"The LaFerrari is very possibly the world's fastest, most exciting hypercar. Which is some statement to make when there are machines such as the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder to contend with. The bottom line, however, is that LaFerrari has more power (a whopping 950bhp) and less weight to carry around than its prestigious rivals so figuratively, if nothing else, it quite clearly has the upper hand. Either way, this is the ultimate Ferrari..." – Autocar.
In today's increasingly environmentally conscious times, even supercar manufacturers have felt the need to polish up their 'Green' credentials. Seeking better fuel economy and reduced emissions, they have brought 'hybrid' technology to this previously exclusively fossil-fuels-only sector of the market. This has resulted in a 'win win' situation: these latest hypercars being more environmentally friendly while at the same time considerably more powerful than before.
Ferrari's first offering in this expanding category was the LaFerrari, a limited-edition coupé that entered production in 2013. Ferrari's last model with a mid-mounted 12-cylinder engine, LaFerrari was the distillation of no fewer than nine design studies created during the process of its development. The car was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show. Unusually, its styling had no input from Ferrari's long-term collaborator, Carrozzeria Pinifarina.
Clearly, a car evocatively titled 'LaFerrari' would have to have a V12 engine, a type of power unit used in the very first Ferrari of 1947 and for a glorious succession of the Italian factory's most famous models. The LaFerrari V12 displaced 6.3-litres and produced 789bhp, supplemented by an electric motor producing 161bhp for a combined output of 950 horsepower, the highest power output of any Ferrari road car. With the car is in motion, the electric motor's lithium-ion battery pack is charged by a KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) as used in the current generation of Formula 1 cars. Power reaches the rear wheels (there's no four-wheel drive) via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. And if you didn't use those 950 horses all the time, there was also a useful decrease in fuel consumption, not that that would have interested the typical LaFerrari owner.
Designed by Ferrari's F1 technical director, Rory Byrne, the LaFerrari has a carbon fibre monocoque chassis with suspension at the front by double wishbones and at the rear by a multi-link system - pretty much the norm for the current generation of supercars. Any car with a 200mph-plus maximum needs plenty of stopping power, and the LaFerrari was equipped with Brembo's finest carbon-ceramic brakes. Ferrari claimed a top speed exceeding 349km/h (217mph), similar to the Enzo's top speed; however, the LaFerrari could accelerating from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in under 2.4 seconds and reach 300km/h (186mph) in 15 seconds, comfortably out-performing its predecessor. The factory also claimed that LaFerrari had lapped its Fiorano test track in 1:19.7, faster than any other road-legal Ferrari.
Electronic systems abound in even the humblest of modern hatchbacks, and as one would expect, the LaFerrari boasts just about every bit of automotive electrickery imaginable: electronic stability control; high performance ABS/EBD (anti-lock braking system/electronic brake distribution), EF1-Trac F1 traction control integrated with the hybrid propulsion system; E-Diff 3 electronic differential; and magnetorheological suspension dampers - all controlled by 21 computers. There was also active aerodynamics, the front and rear wings being adjustable on the move to provide either high or low downforce while also controlling cooling of the engine, gearbox, batteries, and brakes. More electronics were deployed in the cockpit in the form of a 12.3" (310mm) TFT digital dashboard display with a choice of three optional layouts capable of relaying data from the telemetry system. The steering wheel featured integrated controls, while the gearchange paddles were fixed directly to steering column.
One of the fortunate few to have driven a LaFerrari, Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe was mightily impressed when let loose in one at Fiorano. "The ride instantly feels spookily smooth and calm, the steering surprisingly light but bursting with a delicious, old school kind of feel. The brake pedal also feels light underfoot but is again rippling with feel. And the throttle response, the first time I go anywhere near the loud pedal is just outrageous; the car explodes down the back straight even on half throttle in fourth gear.
"And that's what you get when you integrate electric power with a thumping great V12. At low revs the electricity provides the torque, and provides it instantly, and from there on up – at about 3000rpm – the V12 takes over. Yet the transformation is so smooth you are never actually aware that it takes place. Instead, it feels like the car is powered by a 10-litre V12 that somehow has massive low rev response at the same time.
"And yet, in their way, the gearchange, the brakes, the steering, the turn in, the handling balance and the ride... they are all every bit as incredible as the engine – sorry the power source – and the acceleration it can produce."
Putting a 950 horsepower car weighing only some 1,255kg dry in the hands of mere mortals, as opposed to professional racing drivers, might be considered somewhat reckless, but in designing LaFerrari, its makers ensured that whatever the car did it did predictably. "You always know where you are with this car," declared Autocar. "And considering just how insanely fast it is, that is arguably its greatest achievement; being manageable."
Despite a price of £1 million each, all 499 examples planned had sold before the first had been delivered. However, merely having pockets of limitless depth was not alone sufficient for you to acquire a LaFerrari, which was only available to loyal customers vetted by Ferrari.
Representing a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of these fabulous Ferrari hypercars, the LaFerrari offered here was delivered new to Germany and is currently registered on a temporary Swiss plate. The car has covered only 894km from new and is presented in generally excellent condition, reflecting its sparing use. Finished in yellow with black interior, this spectacular LaFerrari comes complete with charger, tool kit, and Equatorial Guinea registration document and technical inspection.
The fact is, I do feel 'driven,' driven to be the best that I can be.
I can do no less and still feel happy and content and satisfied with myself.

Didn't mean to make a Subaru commercial, but there was our Forester, right in the middle of this kind of amazing rainbow scene.
Ex Electric Company? all-wheel drive Land Rover Defender G312MUX.
Quite often these 3-axle machines have a trailing undriven rearmost axle but this one was a genuine 6x6 conversion.
I've driven past this little farm building so many times I couldn't count and I've never photographed it. The light was just right on this day and it caught my eye. It is located on a cattle lot but the cows weren't around it at the time.
Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Pictured is a 1992 Brabham-Judd BT60B Grand Prix Car.
BT60Bs were driven in 1992 by Eric van de Poele, Giovanna Amati and 1996 World Champion Damon Hill.
After six seasons as the 'works' BMW team, the German manufacturer's exit at the end of 1987 prompted team owner Bernie Ecclestone to pull the plug on the Brabham operation. The team was sold on and, under new ownership, returned to the grid in 1989 using customer Judd engines.
A deal was struck for the team to run factory Yamaha engines in 1991 with British duo Martin Brundle and Mark Blundell taking the wheel of the new BT60Y cars. The cars suffered from reliability issues, however, Blundell would finish sixth in Belgium and Brundle fifth in Japan. By contrast, Blundell failed to pre-qualify for the event!
Despite some promise being shown, Yamaha had been dazzled by the new Jordan team's meteoric first season in the sport and transferred the engine contract to the Irish team. Left without any other option, the team re-worked the BT60Y chassis to accept Judd V10 engines and the cars were re-christened BT60Bs.
Belgian Eric van de Poele was joined in the team by Italian lady racer Giovanna Amati, the last female driver to compete in Formula 1. Van de Poele started the first race of the season in South Africa from the back of the grid and brought the car home in thirteenth position, four laps down on race winner Nigel Mansell. That would be his only race in the Brabham, failing to qualify for the next nine races and moving to the Fondmetal team mid-season.
Amati failed to qualify for the first three races of the season and was replaced by Williams test driver Damon Hill. Initially, Hill fared no better in the car but did qualify for his first Grand Prix at Silverstone. Starting last, Hill finished sixteenth in the race. He failed to qualify in Germany and by Hungary, Brabham was a one-car team following van de Poele's departure. Hill crashed the race car (Chassis 4) heavily in qualifying, necessitating a change to the spare car.
The car pictured is that same spare car, Chassis 6, which was the last Brabham built. It qualified for the race and finished in eleventh position. That would prove to be the final race for the Brabham team as the money dried up.
It was a sad end for a team that first appeared in 1962, winning four drivers championships with Jack Brabham, Denny Hulme and Nelson Piquet and the Constructors Championship in 1966 and 1967.
