LaFerrari Demonstrates 0-214 MPH Acceleration like It's Nothing

The footage below shows a LaFerrari playing the sprinting game, with the monster hybrid going from 0 to 214 mph (make that 344 km/h if you're a fan of the metric system). While your attention might be grabbed by the dashboard instruments at first, or by the Fiat parts bin headliner-mounted light, try to focus on the occupants of the car.

While the teenager enjoying a shotgun ride (this is one lucky kid, right?) is wearing a helmet and a HANS device for neck protection, the driver went without such safety aids.

Before we move on, allow us to explain the run reportedly took place at an event called Vmax200, so the 950 hp (963 PS) gas-electric machine had about two miles of runway to stretch its mechanical legs without any other car getting in the way.

Returning to the guy behind the wheel, it's easy to notice how, despite his physique, which appears to be strong, he has to work hard in order to overcome the g-forces the Prancing Horse subjects him to - focus on the neck area and you'll understand.

In fact, the LaFerrari places sensations above all else - as highlighted in a series of comparisons that also involved the McLaren P1 and the Porsche 918 Spyder, the LaFerrari was not the fastest member of the HHHT (Holy Hybrid Hypercar Trinity).

This was the reason Ferrari has tried to prevent instrumented comparos from taking place. Sure, that wall has fallen after less than two years from the hypercar's launch, but we feel the need to stress out that while the P1 favors sheer speed and the 918 focuses on the connection with the engineering of the future, this Fezza was born to please the human holding it by the steering wheel.
