This car shown here is a 2017 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta finished in a beautiful shade of ‘Blu Tour de France’ with a Nero/Grigio Alcantara interior. The LaFerrari (F150) was designed at Ferrari Centro Stile under the careful supervision of Senior Vice President of Design at Ferrari, Flavio Manzoni, and is considered to be the first ever full hybrid vehicle produced by the Italian automotive company. Notably, at the time of it’s arrival at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show, the LaFerrari provided the highest power output of any other Ferrari road car in existence, while simultaneously managing to decrease the fuel consumption by up to 40 percent. The car is powered by a longitudinally rear mid-mounted 6.3L Ferrari F140 direct fuel injected V12 engine combined with a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) that makes for a total power output of just about 950hp. That equipment helped allow this attention-grabbing hypercar to lap the 1.8 mile Fiorano Test Circuit, which is a private race track owned by Ferrari for development and testing purposes, in just 1:19.70. Only around 500 total units of the LaFerrari are said to have been produced by Ferrari from June 2013 until January 2016. The coupe variant was followed by an even more limited (210 units) open-top Aperta variant (shown here), which comes equipped with a removable carbon fiber hardtop and canvas soft top roof. This later variant was shown at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. The Aperta variant also features much more efficient powertrain control electronics, a longer front air dam, re-angled radiators, and much more in order to differentiate it from the standard LaFerrari.
