If you thought the cryptocurrency bubble is getting out of control, the LaFerrari Aperta market is coming on a close second. RM Sotheby’s has a “fully optioned and recently serviced” model to offer at the Arizona 2019 auction, estimated to fetch between $6.5 and $8.5 million.

This representative of the ultimate open-top Ferrari has 1,500 miles from new and 6.2 liters of V12 magic to its name. In addition to the naturally aspirated work of wonder, a 120-kW electric motor levels up the output to 950 horsepower. Torque is nothing to scoff at either at 900 Nm (664 pound-feet).

Finished in Nero Daytona with red accents throughout the exterior and cabin, this car has been delivered to Ferrari of Beverly Hills back in the day. The carbon-fiber package is featured, along with a car cover, spare key, top cover, and owner’s manual.

The most recent service was finished in December 2018, making this LaFerrari Aperta good to go if you’re prepared to pony up enough greenback for the winning bid. Being a must-have in any world-class Ferrari collection, expect bidding to be as ferocious as the LaFerrari Aperta accelerates to 60 mph.

Serving as a successor to the Enzo, F50, F40, 288 GTO, and 250 GTO, the LaFerrari went into production in June 2013 as a fixed-head coupe. So when will this fellow be replaced?

The Capital Markets Day 2018 presentation suggests that something is in the pipeline for the nearest of futures, promising to combine the apex of performance and technological innovation.” Along with the successor of the LaFerrari, the Prancing Horse also confirmed that the F16X sport utility vehicle with hybrid assistance will be known as the Purosangue.
