2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta is up for auction

At the 2013 Geneva Salon, Ferrari unveiled a limited edition sports car that was supposed to be the definitive Ferrari, the LaFerrari. Three years later, the open-top version of this model, the LaFerrari Aperta, arrived on the market. Only 210 cars were produced until 2018, and one of them, the 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta is up for auction.

LaFerrari Aperta is powered by a 6.3-liter V-12 engine (789 hp/580 kW @ 9,250 rpm) combined with an electric motor (161 hp/118 kW) with a total output of 950 hp (708 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm ) of torque, with a compression ratio of 13.5:1. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds with a top speed of 218 mph (351 km/h).

The body of the car is made of carbon fiber, and the entire design focus was on the driver’s position, whose seat is directly attached to the floor and the rear firewall. It is equipped with a reinforced chassis, angled radiators to reduce cabin heat, a longer front air-dam to improve downforce, and a reconfigured angle for the butterfly doors, with correspondingly altered wheel arches.

This LaFerrari Aperta is finished in Nero Daytona metallic paint with Rosso racing stripes, serviced at authorized Ferrari dealerships, rarely driven and has only 2,072 miles on the odometer. It features a digital copy of the Ferrari window sticker on file, which shows that this car has extra equipment worth $113,000 (carbon-fiber hardtop and the carbon-fiber exterior package), which with the standard equipment gives an MSRP of $2.3 million.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in Nero leather with Rosso accents and embossed Prancing Horse stitching on the headrests. There is also a carbon-fiber and Alcantara steering wheel with its signature Manettino drive-mode control.

The car comes with the carbon-fiber hardtop and a canvas soft-top, battery charger, center lock socket, owner’s manuals, the OEM set of five-spoke forged alloy LaFerrari wheels, and an extended two-year Ferrari powertrain warranty.

The auction will take place on November 17 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the estimated value of the car is $5,300,000 – $5,800,000 USD.
