LaFerrari - Keeping it just a dream
LaFerrari Is Sold Out As Ferrari, The Italian Sport Car Maker Owned By Fiat, Cuts Sales To Preserve Exclusive Image

"The LaFerrari sports car was never intended to be an easy-to-obtain vehicle, even for those deep-pocketed gear heads who can afford a $1.4 million piece of Italian automotive history.

But even Ferrari seems surprised at how quickly its limited-run successor to the Enzo raced from the factory in Maranello, Italy, into the garages of high net worth individuals. LaFerrari was unveiled at the Geneva auto show in March, but on Tuesday during a U.S. media blitz that NBC claims was the first time the vehicle debuted on U.S. national television, Marco Mattiacci, the president and CEO of Ferrari North America, said all 499 units, including the 120 cars built for the U.S. market, are sold.

Ferrari is using a lot of superlatives to describe LaFerrari. It’s the first hybrid Ferrari (powered by a 124-lb lithium-ion battery made by South Korea’s Samsung Electronics) that helps it achieve 960 horsepower on less gasoline than a standard engine. It’s the first Ferrari to adopt regenerative braking. It’s the fastest street legal Ferrari. It’s the first Ferrari in 40 years to have received no input from famed Italian car-design firm Pininfarina SpA (BIT:PINF). It set a record pace at Ferrari’s test track in Fiorano hitting 62 mph in less than 3 seconds and 124 mph in seven. It’s the first Ferrari to use four types of carbon fiber and Kevlar in its body style to reduce weight."

Yeah that thing was sold out before it was thought of..

No surprise here..

 

What he said. No surprise!

 

if there is a turd limited to 500 production by ferrari it too will be spoken for.

 

The Real Headline for us car guys would have been if Ferrari was unable to sell them all before they hit the dealerships.

A bit surprised that Pininfarina didn't have any input in the design though.

Also 4 different kinds of carbon fiber?? And Kevlar on top of that? Crazy!

 

The next one is sold out and they haven't even thought of it yet

 

The King of Kings!
