In a year of exceptional debuts in Geneva, perhaps none was more eagerly anticipated than the arrival of the 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari. This de
facto successor to the fabled Enzo model melds both classic design cues
and a host of advanced technologies into a truly striking ultra car
that will be produced in a limited series build of just 499 units.
In presenting the vehicle that had been developed under the code name F150, Ferrari president Luca di
Montezemolo noted that the final designation was chosen “because it is
the maximum expression of what defines our company – excellence.”
Design
2014 LaFerrari
is silky and fashionable, precisely what you would imagine by the
Italian super car company. Meanwhile the announcement of the Enzo in
2003, Ferrari supporters have expected
its precursor. The La Ferrari is the first car in the company’s history
to be completely designed in-house, and it paid off. The LaFerrari puts
a latest design twist on the classic model, & the creators paid
close care to each detail, a characteristic Ferrari has become known
for.
Exterior
LaFerrari’s
exterior is designed to be as aerodynamic as possible without losing
that classic Ferrari feel. The curves are a bit sharper and the lines
are more prominent than previous Ferraris. The body is made of four
different types of carbon fiber and uses technology in which the
exterior skin of the car actually provides the main structural support,
similar to an airplane. Every aspect of the exterior has a new creative
spin, though some more subtle than others.
From the side, the attention to detail
really starts to become apparent. Extensive wind tunnel studies were
performed while designing the LaFerrari to ensure that the body was as aerodynamic as it could possibly be without losing any of that classic Ferrari “feel.”
Interior
The LaFerrari’s interior follows the flow of rest of car & sports a Formula 1 inspired designed.
While the car was designed for performance, the interior design did not
smart. The big, four-sided steering wheel & reshaped dash formation
work attractively with the complete theme of this car.
