Unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari LaFerrari arrived as the Maranello manufacturer's most capable road car to that point and as its first series-production hybrid. BBR Models has captured a specific, historically resonant moment in the car's story — the white camouflage livery applied to preview cars before the public reveal — in a hand-finished 1:18 die-cast that carries the Italian firm's hallmark attention to surface quality and fitment.
Ferrari LaFerrari: Hybrid Hypercar
The LaFerrari pairs a 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 — designated F140FE — producing 800 CV with a Formula 1-derived HY-KERS electric motor contributing a further 163 CV, for a combined system output of 963 CV. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds, reaches 200 km/h in under seven, and achieves a top speed in excess of 350 km/h.
The White Camouflage: Ferrari's Pre-Launch Tease
Before the March 2013 Geneva Motor Show reveal, Ferrari presented the LaFerrari publicly in a disruptive white-and-black camouflage wrap. The intent was standard automotive industry practice: partially obscure final body lines while generating pre-launch interest. Ferrari used this specific finish in official promotional imagery, and the camouflaged car became one of the most widely circulated images of the model's pre-reveal period. As a result, the white camouflage livery is not merely a cosmetic variant but a documented chapter in the LaFerrari's public history.
BBR Models: Hand-Finished 1:18 Die-Cast Construction
BBR Models is an Italian manufacturer regarded among collectors for hand-finished production runs that combine die-cast metal structure with resin and metal components, achieving a level of surface and panel detail above mass-market output. This 1:18 LaFerrari replicates the white camouflage livery applied to Ferrari's pre-production preview car, with the disruptive graphic wrap rendered across the bodywork. BBR typically produces these pieces in tightly controlled quantities, consistent with the exclusivity of the subject matter.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:18, the LaFerrari makes a striking presence on the shelf — the car's low, wide stance and extended nose demand a cabinet with adequate depth and width. The white camouflage livery reads well under display lighting, offering strong visual contrast alongside standard Rosso Corsa or Nero LaFerrari editions. Natural pairings include the Ferrari Enzo — the LaFerrari's direct predecessor — or the Ferrari FXX K track evolution, and the model sits logically as a centrepiece within any Italian hypercar or hybrid milestone collection.
