LaFerrari-Yes Please

Did anyone other than me collect Hot Wheels cars when they were growing up?  What was your favorite car to collect?  I remember I had a lot of them, but the one I had the most of was Ferrari models.  They were my favorite to collect for too many reasons to count.  But in honor of that childhood memory, we will be talking about the Ferrari this week.  I learned a lot more about the Ferrari car brand this past week in order to write this, so I hope my knowledge helps you as well.

In order to do this correctly, of course we need to talk about the history of the company.  The creator of the company, Enzo Ferrari, was born in 1898.  The first Ferrari model that he came out with was the Ferrari 125 S.  It was originally created to be a racing car and not a street car, but as you'd guess, the people spoke and wanted it to be available for normal driving.  The moment it became available to the public, the Ferrari manufacturer boosted, and it launched them into being one of the top car brands in the world.

Now let's look at new models, shall we?  The new model goes by the name of the Ferrari California T.  With lots of cool features, my favorite would have to be the convertible hard top.  Because I have a soft top convertible, I know that a hard top is better since it doesn't leak water.  But the model we will be talking about more is the Ferrari LaFerrari.  According to the website, this model is the “most poised to be the king of all other exotic sports cars.”  Yes, but let's see if they can back up that kind of talk.  Here are some specifications on their model which I found at caranddriver.com:

-Horsepower: 789
-Engine: V12 electric motor
-Speed 0-60 mph:  2.5 seconds
-Speed 0-100 mph: 4.8 seconds
-Speed 0-150 mph: 9.8 seconds

Wow, this is a beautiful car, isn't it?  I don't know if anyone else caught it, but did you see that it has a V-12 electric engine?  Yes, I said electric.  This is also the closest car to a Lamborghini in terms of acceleration, only 0.2 seconds behind.  Overall, this car is a beast of a machine.  For the guys, it goes pretty dang fast and looks very masculine.  For women, it has a pretty look to it that all your friends would love.  I really developed a love for this car when I was young, but this just adds to that love.  What a great car!
