Ferrari’s new eco-friendly car is on sale boasting less than 5,000 miles – but it is estimated to cost a whopping £3.1 million. Celebs such as Dwayne Johnson and Justin Bieber both own the rare car which was the first hybrid road going car made by Ferrari.
The black LaFerrari supercar is one of just 500 ever made and boasts a 6.2-litre V-12 engine and a 120-kilowatt electric motor.
Despite having a hybrid system, it can still do a top whack of 220mph and rocket from 0-60mph in just 2.6 seconds. It has only done 4,952 miles since it was made in 2015 – just 550 a year.
Other high profile people such as Premier League ace Heung-min Son and TV chef Gordon Ramsay also have one. This model is being sold at auction by RM Sotheby’s in Monterey, California, US. It takes place on August 17, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
A Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “Packed shoulder to shoulder at the Ferrari stand, attendees of the 2013 Geneva Motor Show witnessed the debut of something momentous.
“The first roadgoing hybrid Ferrari. Impossibly low-slung, the stunning hypercar was a remarkable statement even to Ferrari, as its very name reflects.
“Simply called, LaFerrari, there are no latent references to past models or complicated alphanumeric designations for its F1-influenced hybrid powertrain—just “The Ferrari.” This was it, the singular vehicle that would chart the company’s future.
“Ferrari was not alone in its pursuit to electrify the hypercar; both McLaren and Porsche were on a similar path at the time. Ferrari, however, was the only one to employ a 12-cylinder engine, in true Ferrari tradition.
“Within a footprint no larger than the preceding Enzo’s, the automaker managed to squeeze both a 6.2-liter V-12 and a 120-kilowatt electric motor into the middle of its carbon-fiber monocoque.
“With 789 horsepower on tap from the V-12 and an additional 161 horsepower from the electric motor, total output came to a heady 950 horsepower.
“Picking up the torch from the Enzo, the LaFerrari continues a grand tradition of mid-engine Ferrari flagship supercars that began with the 288 GTO.
“Only 500 LaFerraris were built. Production of the hardtop started in mid-2013 and ceased just after New Year’s Day 2016.
“Ferrari offered the car exclusively to an ultra-elite upper crust of the Maranello automaker’s most faithful.”
It is estimated to sell for up to £3.1million when it goes under the hammer.
