Ferrari doesn’t mention its LaFerrari flagship as having a pure EV mode. We assumed that was because it really didn’t have one and we took their word for it. Now, a new video tells a different story.

It’s not at all hard to figure out that the black example in the video posted below sets off on batteries alone, since the loud V12 rumble is completely absent – you hear it a few seconds after it disappears from the camera’s line of sight.

Jalopnik which obtained the tip from YouTuber CarloDelucis, the man behind the video, says Ferrari may not have wanted to talk about the EV mode simply because it’s a very short range one.

We’re in the realm of guesswork here, but at least we now know the LaFerrari can at least start rolling without firing up the big twelve along with the 160 hp electric motor.
