By now we're all familiar with what the LaFerrari->ke4626 is capable of. We've seen countless reviews and track footage and the supercar's->ke177 V-12 soundtrack is now familiar to our ears. However, we often forget that the LaFerrari is actually a hybrid->ke147 with an all-electric mode at its disposal. Our forgetfulness is due to the fact that most LaFerrari videos include either engine revving or high-speed track footage, in which the Italian hypercar uses its electrons to back the 800 horses generated by the 6.3-liter V-12.

But once the drivetrain is switched into full-electric, all those exciting exhaust notes vanish into thin air. The LaFerrari becomes as quiet as a Nissan Leaf, with only its familiar design and Prancing Horse logos reminding us there's a high-revving beast waiting to be unleashed. Granted, the sight of a Ferrari that's silent while moving is a bit disturbing, but no longer shocking considering the technology used in today's supercars. Both the McLaren P1->ke4608 and the Porsche 918->ke3629 can sneak up on you using their electric motors, so we'd better get used to Ferraris->ke252 being quieter than a four-banger from time to time.

As a refresher, the LaFerrari uses two electric motors that are powered by a battery pack consisting of 120 cells. The units deliver 163 horsepower and more than 150 pound-feet of torque, taking the supercar's total output to 963 ponies and in excess of 663 pound-feet.
