LaFerrari(F70)
#47
I'm absolutely blown away by its lightness. It's got a huge 6.3L V12, a sophisticated 7-speed DSG, 19/20" wheels, 2 electric motors and a heavy battery pack, and yet it's as light as a Toyota 86 6MT in base trim!!! Mind-boggling stuff.

The official video I posted mentions the 20% lighter figure. Actually the Enzo weighs 3000 lbs the LaFerrari weighs 2800 lbs, so 2500 lbs minus the KERS. So it is 20% lighter without the KERS when you do a direct comparison with the Enzo. With the KERS its less than 10% lighter

Here, it uses brakes 100% of the time, right? And Electric motor seems to be used only as large alternator, not for brake replacement.
Prius HSD has several modes of operations, one of which could be described as charge mode where engine charges the battery pack. This is certainly done by PSD, when electronics find necessary to top up the battery.
Why are you so argumentative?

I got the 2,766lbs/1,255kg figure here, whose source is "Ferrari", although admittedly I did not find Ferrari's own PR myself.

Please try not to use the term KERS in place of HY-KERS. KERS refers to the flywheel-based technology used in F1, while HY-KERS is Ferrari's marketing attempt to fool people into thinking it is a F1-derived technology when in fact it is a proper full hybrid system intended for road cars. HY-KERS is designed to allow for pure EV mode even though the function is not made available on the F70 due to the car's mission (says Ferrari).

Words on the street is the curb weight of the LaFerrari is 3000~3300 lbs. I take that as 3150 lbs. Which is still awesome for all that hardwares.

This is the hottest car in the history of the universe. The tech, engineering, and design they've put into this is mind-blowing. How long have they been developing this car? It seems like it came out of nowhere! (I know, I know we saw the F70 mules and camo for about a year now). And they've successfully put it into a car that is VERY Ferrari traditionale, superbly modern and futuristic, and yet completely SEXY.

Jeez ...At that weight its like a 963 HP Honda S2000 in terms of power to weight. Compare that to the almost two ton Aventador . Thats quite a technical feat to get all that power and performance and still wrap it into a light weigh package , all while maintaining safety and road car design and crash standards
