Introduced at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the LaFerrari represented the most concentrated expression of Ferrari road car engineering to date: a 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 800 cv at 9,000 rpm, augmented by a 163 cv electric motor for a combined 963 cv. BBR Models has captured that machine in die-cast at 1:18 scale, finished in a matte black that reflects the kind of bespoke specification Ferrari's Tailor Made programme makes available to clients.
Ferrari's First Production Hybrid
The LaFerrari is a direct successor in philosophy to the Enzo Ferrari and the brand's first series-production hybrid road car. Production was capped at 499 road-going examples, each built to order. The hybrid system — derived directly from Ferrari's Formula 1 programme — recovers energy under braking and deploys it under acceleration, enabling the V12 to operate at its peak without compromise. The result is a combined output of 963 cv from a powertrain that prioritises driver engagement above all else.
A Tailor Made Specification Outside the Standard Catalogue
The LaFerrari was offered across a wide palette of colours, including fully bespoke finishes arranged through Ferrari's Tailor Made personalisation programme. Matte black sits outside the standard catalogue and represents exactly the kind of individual specification that distinguishes one LaFerrari from another. On a car produced in only 499 examples, a non-standard finish further differentiates the specific car being referenced — and gives this 1:18 scale model a visual identity that Rosso Corsa variants do not share.
BBR Models and the 1:18 Scale Die-Cast
BBR Models — Bocche Bianche Racing — is an Italian specialist with a long record of producing highly detailed 1:18 scale models, including exclusive colour variants that mass-market manufacturers do not attempt. This LaFerrari is executed in die-cast, a construction that delivers substantial weight and tactile solidity. BBR's approach to the LaFerrari's complex aerodynamic surfaces — the sculpted flanks, the active aerodynamics, the aggressive diffuser — is consistent with the studio's reputation for fidelity to the real car's geometry and finish quality.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:18 scale, the LaFerrari is a substantial piece that commands attention on any shelf. The matte black finish absorbs light differently from a gloss car, giving the model a moody, almost monochrome presence under cabinet lighting. It pairs naturally with the Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren P1 at the same scale — the three cars that collectively defined the hybrid hypercar moment of the early 2010s. It also sits well alongside a Ferrari Enzo, the LaFerrari's direct predecessor, which shares the same wheelbase and overall length.
