While the Ferrari LaFerrari has a hybrid powertrain, it still sounds like a proper hypercar , thanks to its naturally-aspirated 789hp (800PS) 6.3-liter V12 powerplant. You’ll be more than surprised then to hear the whistling sounds of a LaFerrari filmed during testing at Ferrari’s Fiorano track in Maranello.
The uploader of the video asks whether the camouflaged LaFerrari is testing the turbocharged V6 engine that will be used in Formula 1 next year - a question we’d like to see answered as well. Judging from the high-pitched sound of the engine, especially during the hot lap at the end of the video, it looks like some sort of forced induction is involved.
Scroll down to listen to the unusual soundtrack of the LaFerrari prototype and tell us what engine do you think Ferrari is testing under the camouflaged bodywork.
