Which Ferrari model was the first hybrid hypercar?

LaFerrari was Ferrari’s first hybrid hypercar and the marque’s first full-hybrid road car.

Introduced at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, LaFerrari used a naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V12 together with Ferrari’s HY-KERS electric-assistance system. The petrol engine produced 800 PS, while the electric motor added 163 PS, giving a combined output of 963 PS. Energy recovered during braking and other phases of driving was stored for deployment through the hybrid system.

LaFerrari was designed as the successor to the Ferrari Enzo and as Ferrari’s definitive limited-production road car. Its name literally means “The Ferrari,” signalling the company’s attempt to combine its most advanced performance technology with a road-legal flagship. Ferrari built 499 coupés, followed later by the open-top LaFerrari Aperta.

The Ferrari Enzo was not a hybrid, and the SF90 Stradale came later, in 2019. The SF90 was Ferrari’s first series-production plug-in hybrid, so it is sometimes confused with LaFerrari’s earlier pioneering role.
