Default Ferrari LaFerrari Spider In The Works?



At the launch of the LaFerrari at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari said it would build just 499 examples of the flagship supercar. But on top of this the automaker will build a handful of track-only ‘experimental’ cars as part of the XX program, and we may also see an additional run of LaFerrari Spiders—yes, convertible LaFerraris. The information first appeared in a report from Automobile Magazine.

According to the report, there will be 30 of the XX cars, which will develop 1,050 horsepower in total system output, or about 100 hp more than the LaFerrari road car. This should give them the edge over their McLaren rival, the P1 GTR, which has been confirmed to develop 986 hp. We do know that an XX version of the LaFerrari is coming, as a senior Ferrari exec has confirmed the car for an early 2015 debut and a prototype has already been seen lapping the Nürburgring.

Although yet to be confirmed by Ferrari, the LaFerrari Spider is said to be destined for a production run of just 50 cars. You may recall the Italian automaker did something similar with its previous 599, launching a limited run of 80 convertibleversions dubbed the SA Aperta. If the report is accurate, the LaFerrari Spider will be double the price of the LaFerrari coupe, and only Ferrari’s most loyal customers will be offered a build slot.

Not a convertible fan but I could live with an open top LaFerrari and a screaming V12

Default Ferrari LaFerrari Spider coming next year - report



Could cost more than the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse

According to a recent report, Ferrari will introduce a LaFerrari Spider sometime next year.

Details are limited but Automobile Magazine is reporting the LaFerrari Spider will join the LaFerrari XX which is also due in 2015. Production will reportedly be limited to 50 units and pricing is expected to be roughly twice as much as the coupe. If this pans out, the limited edition roadster could cost approximately $2.8 (€2 / £1.6) million which would make it more expensive than the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse.

In related news, the publication is reporting Ferrari will launch an updated FF and F12 Berlinetta in 2016. Both are expected to features styling changes and an upgraded V12 engine. There's also word of an entry-level FF with a twin-turbo V8 engine.

Rosso Corsa or Rosso Scuderia (reds) with saddle interior epitomizes Ferrari. I couldn't imagine owning one in another color (though they are fun to look at)

That is the best angle/picture I have seen of it, I am not really a fan of the front end though.

On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago heads back to Italy for a rare opportunity to drive Ferrari's latest flagship car, the Ferrari LaFerrari. Featuring a high revving 6.3 liter V12, and the industry's latest and most advanced hybrid engine technology, this $1million+ hypercar produces a combined 950 horsepower, and is so special that the company named the car after themselves. In the world of the Mclaren P1 and Porsche 918, how does the LaFerrari stack up? Stay tuned to find out.
