The successor the [Ferrari Enzo](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ferrari/enzo/) has officially bowed. [Ferrari](http://www.autoblog.com/ferrari/) pulled the sheets back on the oddly named LaFerrari at the [2013 Geneva Motor Show](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/geneva motor show/), calling the machine the "maximum expression" of what defines the automaker. In this case, that includes a 6.3-liter V12 engine with 789 horsepower married to a 160-hp electric motor. The combination is good for a full 949 hp and 663 pound-feet of torque, and Ferrari says the LaFerrari can punch to 62 miles per hour in under three seconds. Keep your foot planted and 124 mph will click by in a scant seven seconds, while top speed sits at a lofty 205 mph.
Engineers turned to a total of four different types of hand-laminatated [carbon fiber](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/carbon fiber/) to create a chassis that's both stiffer and lighter than would have otherwise been possible. With a 41/59 weight distribution, carbon-ceramic brakes and ultra-light calipers, the LaFerrari is unlike anything we've seen from the company to date. The automaker says its creation is the fastest in its long history. You can take a look at the in-depth [press release below](http://www.paklinks.com/2013/03/05/ferrari-laferrari-is-beautifully-redundant/#continued) for more information, and be sure to check out the model's new site [here](http://www.laferrari.com/en/).
