While Apple has more than a few partners the world over, the company’s newest affiliate comes as a bit of a surprise: Ferrari, the luxury carmaker owned by Fiat SpA, has agreed to include the company’s iPad mini tablet and Siri Voice service with every sale of its new 949HP LaFerrari hybrid vehicle.
Ferrari’s LaFerrari vehicle will include an iPad mini and Siri voice.
The relationship was unveiled at this year’s Geneva International Motor Show. There are only 499 cars available, at the steep asking price of $1.3 million each, so it’s unlikely that including the popular tablet device will sway on-the-fence buyers one way or another.
Still, the collaboration between the two companies is the first of its kind and certainly worth noting. Chairman Luca di Montezemolo was coy when asked what else can be expected from the new relationship between the two companies, saying only that Ferrari will be “more precise” about everything in the coming months.
For the gearheads out there who want to know more about the car, yes, this is Ferrari’s first hybrid vehicle. It brings a 789HP V12 together with 160HP of electric power for a whopping 949HP combination that allows the car to go from 0 to 62MPH in less than 3 seconds, making it the fastest Ferrari built to date.

Also worth noting, the hybrid technology, referred to as “HY-KERS”, produces considerably low emissions: just 330 g/km of C02 total. You can learn more about HY-KERS technology in the company’s video below:
