Zum Fahrzeug:
A little late, the last new model of 2013 rolls onto the test track, the LaFerrari in the classic red color scheme. Anyone who already owns the Porsche 918 Spyder from one of the anniversary packs will now have a thematically appropriate rival car. Because just like the Porsche, the Ferrari is also available with a Hybriddrive in the prototype vehicle.

Technology and Chassis:
This shows the now classic Carrera design with an E200 engine installed as an inliner. There is sufficient space at the front for a continuous front axle. SMD components are used for the front lighting, while classic LEDs with the familiar black shields are used for the rear lighting. The really successful rims and, in particular, the detailed brake discs and brake callipers deserve special mention. At 73 grams, the weight is a little too high for my taste.

Optics and bodywork:
Naturally, there is very little printing on a red road Ferrari, but the black roof section extending over the engine provides an attractive contrast. The rear-view mirrors, which extend far outwards, are highly susceptible to breakage; as usual with Carrera , another pair is supplied directly as a spare part. There is light and shade in the driver insert: the cockpit and dummy engine are multicolored and very attractively designed, but the somewhat artificial-looking driver figure spoils the otherwise good overall impression.

Fahrtest:
As is so often the case, there is little to say about the driving behavior with a fully equipped magnet: the magnets pull the model firmly towards the road, so that it is inevitably violent when starting off. There is no limit range in the bends, "hop or top" is the motto here. However, once you have found your rhythm, you can easily achieve fast lap times without taking off.
Without the rear magnet, lap times drop, but the vehicle is much easier to control in corners. However, the tire grip reaches its limits in this constellation at times.

Completely magnetless, the Ferrari then just slides around unsteadily. Anyone who prefers this operating mode will at least have to invest in other tires.

Kind regards,
Chris
