LaFerrari gets horrible gas mileage for a hybrid
 

This is pretty sad, the LaFerrari only gets 16.6mph
"The company said the LaFerrari gets 16.6 mpg, compared with 15.9 mpg for the F12, and 13.8 mpg for the Lamborghini Aventador."

In comparison, the McLaren P1 gets 34mpg

and the Prosche 918 gets 85 to 94mpg
The 887 HP Porsche 918 Spyder Will Get '85 To 94' MPG

I don't know what's wrong with Ferrari, seems like they need to develop better hybrid system :suspicious:

In other news anyone who buys one won't be for purpose of saving gas...

I rather buy a GTR.

I've heard just because of this 150 orders were canceled.




No, I made that up.

ya, it's a shame they don't have a hybrid system like the GTR does


wait,.. what?!

In other news, water is wet...

:facepalm:

God damnit Timpo.

Great info. Thank goodness I ordered the Porsche 918 and not the LaFerrari. : phew:

Like anybody buying that is really concerned about spending a bit more money on gas..

guys who buy cars at this level also care about bragging rights, so as stupid as it sounds guys shelling out $1m+ for a car, gas mileage does matter from a bragging rights perspective.

Also with the way Formula One is evolving with a focus on fuel flow and power from energy recovery, this is going to change how everyone looks at power and fuel efficiency.

Look at Ferrari's F1 car, they are clearly behind Mercedes and Red Bull on the harvesting and utilization of energy recovery. Also with their halo car having bad gas mileage, thius will also make customers think twice about Ferrari's technical prowess Vs their competitive set.

For cars at this level, horsepower & speed bragging rights is going to trump fuel economy every time.

Do you really think two rich guys are going to have a conversation like:


"My LaFerrari gets 16 MPG"
"Yeah well my Porsche 918 gets 20 MPG"

No.

It's more like:
"My Porsche 918 has 887 hp"
"Yeah well my LaFerrari has 963"

People buying LaFerrari don't care. It's not like it's going to be a DD. Will be lucky to drive 5000 km's a year in it.

I agree, and the Porsche 918 guy will say..."my 918 beats your LaFerrari around the Nurburgring and gets better fuel mileage" hahaha?

918 vs. LaFerrari. Both beautiful machines.

The main issue is you can't tell a LaFerrari owner to go buy a GTR because his answer will be, "I did buy a GTR. After 3000 km, I gave it to my butler." :hotbaby:

So it gets poor gas mileage AND it's slow?

I would say yes. LaFerrari sucks for its price point.

Ferrari is clearly behind McLaren and Porsche.

Both Porsche and McLaren can run Nurburgring is less than 7 min.
LeFerrari is yet to accomplish this number.

Moreover, McLaren is now aiming for 6:30.

Timpo, It's a LaFerrari not a Corolla!!!

Do you think the rich care about fuel economy???

It's not only about fuel economy, it's more about technology, refinement, craftsmanship, etc.

Murcielago and Viper can go fast too but they only get like 7mpg.
Whereas Porsche and McLaren go faster and get 35+mpg.

The new Lexus LF-LC, BMW i8, Acura NSX, Infiniti Emerg-E and Jaguar CX75, etc. will all be hybrid.

I could care less if Ford and Chevy for example come up with 10 or 11 second 1/4 mile supercar if it only gets 3mpg.

If I ever win the lottery I will buy one and DD it. Just so I can prove people like you wrong :accepted:

... and then complain about how Timpo was right every time I pull up to the pumps :okay:

^
then buy a prius as a weekend car/summer car, rarely drive & storage in winter right :troll:

"Waiter! Waiter! My soup is much too wet!"

and they don't care about gas mileage... WTF

I think we're forgetting that 16mpg is coming from a car making 900hp, my S10 only makes 190hp and it gets 15mpg, the Ferrari is actually sort of impressive.
