The Ferrari LaFerrari is a limited-production hybrid hypercar introduced in 2013 as the successor to the Ferrari Enzo. As Ferrari’s first hybrid halo car, it pairs a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 with the HY-KERS system for a combined 950 hp — the fifth car in the Big 6 lineage that began with the 288 GTO.
It also marks an ending. The LaFerrari is the last Ferrari flagship built around a naturally aspirated engine. Its successor, the F80, runs a twin-turbo V6.
The LaFerrari paired Ferrari’s last naturally aspirated flagship V12 with an electric motor built to add power rather than save fuel. At launch it was the quickest road car Ferrari had ever produced.
| Category | Specification |
|---|---|
| Engine | 6.3L Naturally Aspirated Hybrid V12 |
| Horsepower | 950 hp Combined |
| Torque | 664 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 7-Speed Dual-Clutch |
| 0–60 mph | ~2.4 seconds |
| Top Speed | 217+ mph |
| Fiorano Lap | 1:19.7 |
| Curb Weight | 3,495 lb (1,585 kg) |
The LaFerrari rarely reaches the open market — only 710 were built, and allocation was invitation-only. Our specialists can help with sourcing inquiries.
HY-KERS came out of Ferrari’s Formula 1 energy-recovery program, and the logic is inverted from every other hybrid on the road: it exists to add power, not to save fuel. There is no plug and no electric-only mode.
That architecture became Ferrari’s template. The hybrid lineage from LaFerrari to the F80 runs directly through this car, and the same performance-first thinking now reaches production models like the 296 GTB.
The LaFerrari was designed in-house under Flavio Manzoni — the first Ferrari flagship not styled by Pininfarina — with cockpit input from Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa.
Nearly every control sits on the steering wheel, including the Manettino. There is no glovebox and no real infotainment screen — Ferrari removed anything that didn’t make the car faster or the driver better connected to it.
Ferrari capped the coupe at 499 — one fewer than the 500 Enzos built — to make it rarer than the car it replaced. It then built a 500th for charity. Allocation was invitation-only. Ferrari selected from existing multi-car collectors, and no amount of money bought a place in line.
| Variant | Units Produced |
|---|---|
| LaFerrari Coupe | 499 |
| Charity Coupe | 1 |
| LaFerrari Aperta | 209 |
| Charity Aperta | 1 |
| Total Production | 710 |
Two cars were built outside the standard run. The 500th coupe supported 2016 Italy earthquake relief. The final Aperta benefited Save the Children.
Both wore unique liveries, neither was available to order, and both sit well above market value as a result.
The Aperta arrived in 2016 for Ferrari’s 70th anniversary — an open-top LaFerrari with a removable carbon roof and a soft-top option.
It was not a roof-off conversion. Performance is essentially identical to the coupe, and with 210 built against the coupe’s 500, the Aperta is the rarer and consistently more valuable car.
Ferrari turned the LaFerrari into the FXX K in 2014 — a track-only car for the Corse Clienti programme, not road legal in any market.
Owners do not keep them. Ferrari stores and maintains each car and transports it to private track events — the same arrangement that started with the Enzo-based FXX.
Coupes have appreciated roughly three to six times over original MSRP. Apertas have done better still.
Cars with original paint, factory-documented history, and low miles sit at the top; repainted or higher-mileage examples sit well below.
| Category | Value |
|---|---|
| Original MSRP — Coupe (2013) | ~$1,400,000 |
| Original MSRP — Aperta (2016) | ~$2,200,000 |
| Coupe Market Range | ~$3,500,000 – $8,500,000 |
| Aperta Market Range | ~$6,500,000 – $9,500,000 |
Highest Price Paid for Any LaFerrari
$9.98 Million
A one-off 210th Aperta, built for Ferrari's 70th anniversary and auctioned in aid of Save the Children at RM Sotheby's Maranello, September 2017. Still the most expensive 21st-century production car sold at auction.
Neither charity car is a market comparable — both were one-off builds sold at benefit auctions.
If you own an Enzo or another collector Ferrari, our specialists can value your car or discuss consignment.
The LaFerrari sits at the hinge point of Ferrari’s flagship history — the last naturally aspirated one, and the first electrified one.

Top speed is identical across all three. Everything else moved, and Fiorano tells that story better than horsepower does — the Enzo to the LaFerrari is more than five seconds, and the LaFerrari to the F80 is more than eight.
The Enzo is a car people buy for its engine. The F80 is a lap-time instrument. The LaFerrari is the only one that is both.
Most Ferrari LaFerrari coupes are valued between roughly $3.5 million and $8.5 million, while rare low-mileage examples and LaFerrari Apertas can exceed $10 million.
Ferrari produced 499 LaFerrari coupes and 210 LaFerrari Apertas, including special charity examples.
Yes. The LaFerrari was Ferrari’s first hybrid production hypercar, combining a naturally aspirated V12 with Ferrari’s HY-KERS electric motor system.
Yes. The LaFerrari accelerates significantly quicker than the Enzo thanks to its hybrid system and increased power output, reaching 0–60 mph in roughly 2.4 seconds.
The LaFerrari uses a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 paired with an electric motor, producing a combined 950 horsepower.
The LaFerrari was designed in-house by Centro Stile Ferrari under Flavio Manzoni, making it Ferrari’s first flagship model not designed by Pininfarina.
Yes. The Ferrari LaFerrari is widely recognized as one of the defining hybrid hypercars of the 2010s, representing a major milestone in Ferrari performance and hybrid technology.
The LaFerrari Aperta is the open-top version of the LaFerrari, introduced in 2016 for Ferrari’s 70th anniversary. It retained the same 950-horsepower hybrid powertrain while adding removable roof options and revised aerodynamic engineering.
No. Unlike some modern plug-in hybrids, the LaFerrari does not feature a fully electric driving mode. Its HY-KERS system works alongside the V12 engine strictly to enhance performance.
Yes. Ferrari developed dedicated factory support programs for the LaFerrari’s HY-KERS battery system, including the Ferrari Power extended warranty program for long-term hybrid system maintenance.
The LaFerrari is the fifth chapter in one of automotive history’s most exclusive lineages. It follows the turbocharged 288 GTO and F40, the naturally aspirated F50 and Enzo, and precedes the F80.
It is the bridge. Every flagship before it made power one way. Every flagship after it has made power two ways.
