2015 Ferrari LaFerrari Secures One of the Top Lots At RM Sotheby’s
The 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari will be featured in one of the top lots at RM Sotheby’s upcoming auction, “Fort Lauderdale, 2019” that will be held on March 29-30, 2019, in Florida. The pre-auction estimate of this unique car is one of the highest among all the lots offered in the auction, which is around $3,200,000 - $3,500,000. This car will be offered in lot 3094 at the auction. “Ferrari’s first hypercar, the LaFerrari, debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show as the successor to the Enzo, but in positioning only. Wedged behind its passenger compartment sits the FXX project’s 6.3-liter V-12 engine aided by a Formula 1-derived, 161-hp kinetic energy recovery system, or KERS. However, the LaFerrari’s KERS system was actually more advanced than that allowed at the time by the FIA. As such the LaFerrari is a hybrid rated at a combined 949 hp and 664 foot-pounds of torque. That explosive power is delivered to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which helps the hypercar scream towards its 9,250 redline as it races to 100 mph in just 4.8 seconds before hitting a top speed in excess of 217 mph,” stated the auction house. Some of the major features of this car are that it is one of the only 499 cars built, and it has traveled just 600 miles from new. It will be presented in as-new condition throughout. It is finely finished in eye-catching Giallo Modena over black and yellow interior and is known as Ferrari’s first hybrid hypercar. Its chassis number is ZFF76ZFA4F0209754. Elaborating on the details of this car, the auction house states, “Wrapped around the mild-hybrid powertrain is an F1-grade carbon fiber monocoque structure that is nearly 30 percent more rigid than that used in the Enzo. Brembo-supplied carbon-ceramic disc brakes that tie into the regenerative system sit behind staggered 19-in. and 20-in. Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires made from a Ferrari-specific compound to make the most of the massive underhood power. The LaFerrari’s hyper-modern lines come from Flavio Manzoni within Ferrari’s in-house design department. The car’s silhouette echoes the Enzo, but its lines are more organic and graceful.” RM Sotheby’s further adds, “Its Grigio alloy wheels sit in front of carbon ceramic brakes with color-matched painted calipers and features relatively uncommon body-color side mirrors.” https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
