500th LaFerrari to be auctioned on December 3rd!

Ferrari chose the RM Sotheby’s auction as the place to sell the last LaFerrari Coupé ever. Only 499 were planned but Ferrari decided to give the Italians a helping hand.

Back in August, Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne announced that an extra LaFerrari would be built to benefit the victims of the earthquakes in Italy this summer. Imagine how millions of Euros can have a big impact on rebuilding the villages.

The 500th LaFerrari LaFerrari has got a Tailor Made interior, white pin stripes and an Italian flag on the nose.

CEO and Chairman of RM Sotheby’s, Rob Myers was very proud to get the opportunity of selling this unique car. ‘’It’s an honour for RM Sotheby’s to be entrusted with the sale of this important car and to help raise significant funds for a desperate cause. The auction will be an historic event and the generosity of Ferrari SpA will change lives in the areas most affected by the natural disaster!’’

The auction will take place on December 3rd (this Saturday). A one off three Nero DS Opaco (matte black) LaFerrari recently sold for $4.7 million. So expect anything above the price!

Travelling to Paris to see the LaFerrari Aperta

The Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta is a beautiful monster in the flesh.

Ferrari confirmed the LaFerrari Aperta back in July. As you may know, Aperta stands for ‘’open’’ and it uses the same label as the 599 SA Aperta and 458 Speciale Aperta. All three are limited cars.

I’m very thankful to got invited by the Awarded Global Ferrari Dealer of the Year 2015, HR Owen Ferrari and entrepreneur Rajia Bibi. The day at the Mondial De L’Automobile Paris 2016 was a day I will never forget. Down below a quick recap of all the cool Ferrari’s I saw that day.

Lightweight LaFerrari incoming?

Lamborghini owner @LamborghiniKS posted an interesting photo on Instagram the other day.

It showcases the three LaFerrari variants, the normal one, the FXXK and the LaFerrari Aperta. The lower picture is of a LaFerrari under covers which refers to a lightweight version of the car. According to Kris Singh, Ferrari already begun with contacting future owners. It’s most likely being sold-out by the time the car has been unveiled.

Like Ferrari standards, there’s little information known about this project. All the information there’s to find, is in that post.

Some Ferrari owners that have had contact with Ferrari already have the LaFerrari, FXXK and LaFerrari Aperta in their garage. Just imagine how cool it would look to have all the versions of the LaF sitting nicely in your garage. You could drive your LaFerrari or Aperta version to the track where you can smash the FXXK or this lightweight version! I’ll keep you guys updated!

Will this 250 GTO be the most expensive to date?

This blue Ferrari 250 GTO from 1962 is currently the world’s highest-valued car. British Ferrari specialist Talacrest is asking £45 million!

Everyone knows most classic Ferraris will trade hands for a ridiculous amount of money. John Collins, owner of Talacrest always wanted to sell a 250 GTO. So when this one came around he had to get it. ‘’I’ve been looking for a 250 GTO for a while now and the opportunity came with this one!’’ said Collins. Most 250 GTOs are being sold at auctions. The last time you could buy a 250 GTO at a dealership, was around 20 years ago.

This particular 250 GTO is actually the second one ever build and the first one that got into racing. In total, the car participated in 27 races of which it got a podium place in 17 of them. Its debut was at the 12h of Sebring. In 1965 it raced its last race. This was the Nassau Tourist Trophy where he won his class.

Matching numbers are two magical words in the car-buying-industry, this car has got them. So that probably also explains the insane amount of money that’s being asked.

Despite it age it still has some insane performance figures. The 0-100 km/h (60 mp/h) time is 6.1 seconds. Top speed lays around 280 km/h (174 mp/h).
