There are hypercars, and then there’s the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, a rare masterpiece that truly speaks to the soul of performance lovers. Created as a celebration of Ferrari’s 70th anniversary, the Aperta is more than just a roofless LaFerrari. It’s the pinnacle of Maranello’s hybrid engineering, design evolution, and limited-production exclusivity.
Designed for Open-Air Drama
From every angle, the Aperta looks dramatic and purposeful. Unlike most open-top variants, it doesn’t lose structural strength or performance. Thanks to engineering adjustments, it retains the intense precision of the coupe version. The carbon fiber monocoque, active aerodynamics, and Formula One-inspired design all come together in one aggressive yet refined package.
The exterior is finished in Nero Daytona metallic paint, accented by Rosso racing stripes that cut through the dark silhouette with purpose. Inside, you’ll find Nero leather with Rosso stitching and the signature Prancing Horse on the headrests. It’s the perfect marriage of elegance and aggression.
Performance That Defies Gravity
At the heart of the LaFerrari Aperta sits a 6.3-liter V12 engine, working alongside a Formula One-style KERS hybrid system. The total output? A jaw-dropping 963 horsepower. With that kind of force, the Aperta rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds and completes the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds. That’s faster than most supercars even dream of.
Its powertrain is paired with active suspension, F1 Trac traction control, and electromagnetic dampers. A front-end lift system allows for better drivability, while Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes ensure stopping power matches the sheer speed.
Inside Ferrari’s Finest
The Aperta’s cabin takes inspiration directly from the track. The seating position is ultra-low, and the seats themselves are integrated into the carbon tub. With adjustable pedals and a bespoke driving position, it brings drivers closer to an F1 experience than almost any road car can.
Equipped with a removable carbon fiber hardtop and a canvas soft-top, the Aperta offers flexibility without compromise. Its manettino switch allows drivers to dial in performance settings instantly. Every element of the cabin has been crafted to make the driver feel in control of something truly special.
Rare and Ready for the Road
Just 210 examples of the LaFerrari Aperta were produced, and this specific car, chassis 232856, is one of the final examples made. Originally delivered by Ferrari Westlake, it has covered fewer than 2,300 miles and comes with service documentation, a carbon fiber hardtop, tools, and factory accessories.
Its additional features, including the optional carbon exterior package and factory extras totaling over $113,000, bring the total MSRP close to $2.3 million when new. For collectors and connoisseurs alike, this car is the definition of high-end exclusivity.
The Pinnacle of Ferrari Performance
The Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta isn’t just a convertible hypercar, it’s a technical and emotional showcase of what Ferrari does best. Every line, every rev, and every detail is engineered to thrill. Whether admired on a concours lawn or unleashed on the open road, the Aperta continues to inspire awe.
Summary
Owning the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta means stepping into a unique chapter of automotive history. With unmatched hybrid performance, dramatic styling, and rarity on its side, this open-top wonder stands tall as one of Ferrari’s greatest modern achievements.
