After a year of teasing us with sneak pics and snippets of technical information, Ferrari has finally uncovered the all-new Enzo replacement in its entirety.

Currently hogging the limelight at this month's Geneva motor show, Maranello's latest hypercar is called the LaFerrari _ a nod to what Ferrari describes as the epitome in its car engineering.

Aimed at collectors, this Ferrari highlights hybrid technology filtered down from F1 racing, including electric motors that help boost the power of the 800hp 6.3-litre V12 to 963hp. Maximum engine speed is 9,250rpm.

@Discussion 3 I can appreciate great engineering, show me a car that lasts 800,000 kilometers (500,000 miles) and I am very impressed. Most cars I've seen which have accomplished that have been Japanese. Speed at the expense of all else and at an excessive price is not impressive.

Sorry to have to tell you dear readers, but the first picture in the bloodline is wrong. That car is not a 250 GTO which had an engine in the front, but is actually a 250 Le Mans which had a mid / rear engine.

D1 - Some build beautiful boats..others amazing aircraft…mans desire to create, improve and innovate compels such seemingly mad creations. As far too many elements in society today seek to tear down, destroy, and kill. A marvelous machine and the hands and minds that put it together can still inspire.

I would be embarrassed and feel like a complete fool driving anything that gaudy and ostentatious, especially in Thailand. What pathological need for attention would inspire someone to spend so much money on something so useless?
